Aphex Twin - boxenergy4remix1
80

I need more of this kind of chaos from Richard. It's brilliant, experimental, fascinating. It's mind-blowing.

Aphex Twin - a12. ab3 .215061.

Aphex makes me dance to this song. It's really nice, but the way the song ends is quite abrupt.

Aphex Twin - B2 42DIMENSIT10
58

So confusing that I couldn't say whether I like it or not. It's strange.

Aphex Twin - Peel Session 2 TX 10/04/95
65

Overall, it's not too bad. I think the further I get into the EP, the more I like the tracks, to be honest. Slo Bird Whistle could have been really nice, and a lot of people like it, but the bird samples are a bit grating on my ears. This version of Pancake Lizard also seems better to me than the one on the Donkey Rhubarb EP.

Aphex Twin - Collapse EP
63

I confess I'm not blown away by this project. In fact, I almost feel like I would have preferred it if it had been released by another electronic music artist, but for Aphex... let's just say it doesn't exactly fit with what I like about his music. It probably deserves a higher rating than this, but that's just my personal opinion.

Aphex Twin - 3 Gerald Remix / 24 Tsim 2
63

Not unpleasant, but not particularly remarkable either. 3 Gerald Remix is ​​good, nothing more, and 24 Tsim 2 is just okay, even dragging a bit at 6 minutes and 12 seconds. I don't see why some people find this EP underrated or anything; for me, it's pretty forgettable, but that's just my opinion.

AFX - Orphans
75

A really enjoyable EP. The first three tracks are very solid, although the tracks composed by Luke Vibert and those by AFX have slightly different vibes. Nightmail 1 is particularly noteworthy and is truly high quality and really fun. The last track, 4x Atlantis take1, seems a little weaker and perhaps brings the project to a slightly lower note, but overall the experience is worthwhile.

It's also quite funny that so many people got this project recommended by YouTube; I wasn't aware ... read more

Aphex Twin - Aphex Mt. Fuji 2017
2

I absolutely don't understand the rating and reviews for this project. Not at all.
Probably the worst project ever released by Richard under all his aliases. It's absolutely unbearable to listen to, it's 1 hour of pure noise (but literally noise, we're not like concrete music and this kind of thing), sometimes strident and very hard to listen to. It just hurts. The only reason it escapes a 0 is that it's not an offense to a musical work, a group of people, that ... read more

Aphex Twin - London 03.06.17 [Field Day]
38

I didn't really like it and I found that by a lot of appearance it was too much, especially at the end of the live. I don't know if there is a video version; But I think we are on one of these levels so extreme, dance and transcendent that it is not appreciable without being there. In short, 2 strange hours. Besides, I've never seen such a ugly cover. (not this one on AOTY)

坂本龍一 [Ryuichi Sakamoto] - async
84

First of all, thank you to maskimus, the GOAT, for the recommendation. I listened to this superb album by an artist whose existence I won't lie, I was completely unaware of, during my climb up Mount Inari. After all, what could be better than a Japanese artist for a Japanese monument? This superb, emotional soundtrack blended perfectly with this place of nature, prayer, and contemplation, and probably fulfilled its purpose: to make me appreciate life's little moments and create a ... read more

Pink Floyd - Live from the Los Angeles Sports Arena, April 26th, 1975
83

A live recording that is generally of high quality, with exceptional sound quality for a restored bootleg. The tracks from this tour are really good: the Animals demos, a large part of Wish You Were Here, all of Dark Side of the Moon, and an exceptional version of Echoes. The presence of Dick Parry on saxophone is certainly a plus.

AFX - Korg Trax+Tunings for falling asleep
71

I'm having trouble understanding the general opinion on this EP; I found it pretty cool and relaxing. As the title suggests, I listened to it before going to sleep, and it worked, thanks Richard.

Aphex Twin - user18081971

Extremely long, which is rather expected for 280 tracks, but it does require a real investment. Overall, it's pretty good, even very good at times, but you have to be interested in Richard's work; not all the tracks are great. The overall coherence is inexistant by the very nature of the project, which is simply a compilation of tracks he posted on SoundCloud. Let's just say it allows you to better understand his creative process, and there are plenty of remixes (which are ... read more

Philip Glass - Satyagraha
85

I just came from the premiere of Satyagraha at the Paris Opera, and I've never seen such a good piece of music performed live. It was divine; the staging was incredible, the singers, chorus, and dancers were impressive, and the countertenor had the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. What power, what purity, what a performance!

And you know what? During the musicians' curtain call, Philip Glass himself appeared, even though no one tell that he was here. This man is an idol to ... read more

AFX - orphaned deejay selek 2006-08

There are some good ideas in this project, but it seems a bit messy in the end. Let's just say it's okay, nothing more.

AFX - umil 25-01

Cool and rather complex; I simply wonder why it wasn't included in the original EP.

Aphex Twin - Cheetah EP
50

Terribly mid and boring. It doesn't resemble Aphex Twin in sound, instrumentation, style, or even cover art. It's not bad in itself, but coming from an artist like him, it's disappointing for a serious project.

Aphex Twin - MARCHROMT30a Edit 2b 96
57

Meh... It's not particularly bad or anything, but I just don't really like the aesthetic Aphex came up with in this single. I don't have much to say, but it didn't resonate with me.

Aphex Twin - Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments pt2
86

Honestly? I loved it. I'm surprised I didn't listen to this EP sooner because it's truly impressive. I like Aphex Twin. I like electroacoustic music, so of course I loved it. Full of interesting sonic experimentation and with a vinyl that plays at two speeds, this is my Syro, no doubt about it.

"@thefalsesamarit Hello, unfortunately I haven't been able to find anywhere to download the track. I don't see it on YouTube. I found a few links on Reddit, but the Godspeed moderators delete the posts to protect the band's music. A few things to help you in your search: the posts mention that it can be found on a GY!BE Discord server; I think it's also available on specialized software. I also think the easiest way would be to send a private message to people who say they can send it to you on Reddit. A few terms that might help you in your search: The track is called "untitled" but is more often referred to as "the D-side track.""
On Blablakillyou's review of Kendrick Lamar - GNX
"Je trouve justement cette album bien meilleur que DAMN. qui même si il a eu un beau succès manque une sorte de cohérence globale et d’une consistance globale. Dans GNX je retrouve certaines des meilleurs type de pistes de Kendrick : wacced out murals, man at the garden, hey now, reincarnated et heart p.6. Beef pour moi ça fait clairement des très bon album de Kendrick avec Mr Morales and the Big Steppers, TPAB et Good Kid M.A.A.D city"

On The Caretaker - Everywhere at the end of time
"@maskimus Le problème c’est la culture tiktok, en mode cette album va changer votre vie ou des gens qui pensent que on est sur un des plus grand projets musical de tout les temps. J’ai l’impression que cela joue beaucoup sur les appréciations alors que purement musicalement ce projet est pas parfait. Pour beaucoup c’est la porte d’entrée à ces different genre. Je n’est aucun problème avec cette approche touchante de l’évolution de Alzheimer, le démence et même si je suis pas atteint de maladie neuro dégénérative ça a pu faire écho à des périodes de dissociation que j’ai eu. Le problème pour moi ce trouve pas sur le message de l’album mais sur ce qu’il a engendré"
