In 2014, after a long period of relative reclusion, Richard D. James released the excellent comeback album\u00a0<em>SYRO<\/em>.\u00a0<em>SYRO<\/em>\u00a0worked almost as a massive data-dump, a huge sampling of the tracks that James had made at home in his years out of the public eye. A few months afterward, James followed it up with another, very different kind of data dump: He uploaded\u00a0a massive trove of tracks\u00a0onto the SoundCloud page belonging to \u201cuser18081971.\u201d In the past few years, James has put new Aphex Twin tracks up on that SoundCloud page whenever the mood has struck him. Apparently, the mood has recently struck him. We\u2019ve got a whole mess of new Aphex Twin tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As\u00a0Resident Advisor points out, James has uploaded six new tracks to the user18081971 SoundCloud page in the past week. The songs are all relatively digestible \u2014 between three and seven minutes long \u2014 and all of them are genuinely pretty. The tracks \u201cqu 1\u2033 and \u201cs8v1 [brooklyn]\u201d are emotive, gut-sick ambient music. \u201cTha2 [world scam mix]\u201d and \u201cprememory100N pt2\u2033 are pulsing, reassuring electro. One, \u201ctha2,\u201d sounds like the score from an \u201980s sci-fi movie. And the only one that really sounds like the squiggling, playful, disorienting version of Aphex Twin is \u201cm11st lon,\u201d and even that one is relatively restrained. All six tracks are well worth your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These tracks might have extra personal resonance for James.\u00a0Resident Advisor notes\u00a0that James wrote last month, in a since-deleted posting in that SoundCloud page\u2019s bio, that he is mourning the death of his father. (He also reportedly compared Europe\u2019s quarantine lockdown to \u201ca police state.\u201d) Resident Advisor also notes that \u201cqu 1\u2033 includes a note in its mp3 file: \u201cSee you on the other side, dad.\u201d Listen to all six tracks below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-soundcloud wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"qu 1 by user18081971\" width=\"1170\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F792586270&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxwidth=1170&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;dnt=1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-soundcloud wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tha2 [world scam mix] by user18081971\" width=\"1170\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F792134959&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxwidth=1170&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;dnt=1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-soundcloud wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"tha2 by user18081971\" width=\"1170\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F790699474&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxwidth=1170&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;dnt=1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-soundcloud wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"prememory100N pt2 by user18081971\" width=\"1170\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F789490930&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxwidth=1170&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;dnt=1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-soundcloud wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"m11st lon by user18081971\" width=\"1170\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F789370876&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxwidth=1170&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;dnt=1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aphex Twin is at it again.
