He just uploaded a new one not ten minutes ago, and I think Soundcloud is on the verge of crashing under the weight of all the traffic.

I'm downloading and putting together everything in one folder as of Red Calx. At the end of this great festival of sound and braindance I will upload the final product.

Just listened to the new EP and I think it's far better than Syro. Now this is the side of AFX that I love.

Same here, I in no way regretted pre-ordering it on wax. It's one of my favorite releases so far 2015 wise. It makes me really happy that he's still pushing boundaries and challenging himself as a musician, and even happier that he started releasing again because of the fan reaction to the Caustic Window LP.

Syro is one of my favorite electronic albums ever, the new EP is nice but nothing near for me.

Track 1 is the only pretty killer thing there for me. The rest are cool but they are just little bites.

Syro is this incredibly accomplished opus.

For me, Syro > Rushup Edge > Druqks > RJD Album > The Rest

I never really got obsessed with his ambient stuff.

These demos are really cool though, I'm just starting to dig into them (I've got 8hr 40m as of now, he keeps dumping more). It seems he has gotten up to RJD album stuff, I hope he goes through his whole career, that would be amazing.

And don't forget, he just dumped a bunch of other demos a bit back(some Syro stuff among them).

Haha I've been doing the same! It is consuming my life, and I have no regrets.

Agreed about CCAI2, it's fantastic that he's still willing to experiment at such lengths, in addition to providing us with more accessible (but no less brilliant) LPs like Syro.

i have no idea what's going on

Overload! I downloaded a bunch of tracks the other day and the OCD inside of me doesn't know what to do with them. I need order, I need structure! I need official releases!

debaserr · 01-30-2015, 06:13 PM

Heh, it's a lot to consume, but I'm delighted it's out there.

I mean, over eight hours of unreleased material from my favorite electronic dude? Yes, please!

This would never be released, it's too much work for him for material he thinks is inferior. They aren't mastered, they are 128 kbps MP3s, they have the worst track titles (o wait that's his thing now).

I ended up numbering them in the order he uploaded them to SC. As far as anyone can tell, he was uploading chronologically through his catalog, so it's probably as close to structure as we're going to get with these.
