What a great track, you are lucky to have a copy on vinyl!

Some people love to criticize, I am an older guy analogue era, but these musician creatives have to be given credit, the whole piece has to be imagined first then produced on the key board computer etc whilst still trying to maintain the flow of rythm and spontaneous action, no...I admire these guys they make it seem easy but I bet its bloody hard to do........I like this.

I’m from the analog era, guitar, bass, & Pro Audio engineer. You are partially correct. I make & record both live analog music & make electronic music. A lot of times it’s experimenting with plugins, software instruments or effects that creates a song. No idea what I will make. I’ve watched several well known DJ’s do the same. It isn’t like Frank Zappa who has it all in his head first, can write charts for each musician, before the first note is played. I agree lots of non analog is well produced & creative, but it’s usually made a track at a time, in my experience. Each new track isn’t preconceived, but finding something that works or adds to it. Not all, but I believe a majority don’t have a clue what is going to be the completed song, before they start recording.

I love Syro but I think this is better than anything off Syro. If this is new, it's like he's refined a certain style on Syro. It's electro-funk done in uniquely Aphex Twin way. Those basslines are rooted in funk. Since Analord he just seems to get more and more funky.
