The first album I listened to this year was an oldie -
Aphex Twin's "1995 - I care because You Do".
It's 20 years old and I still love it.
The new Aphex Twin Album, Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments pt2 EP, is coming out on Jan 23rd 2015 (only 13 sleeps to go).
And his gear list is to die for....... probably most famous for the three Korg PS 3300s (He also has a korg 3200 according to the list). I'm so happy to see their use on "Syro". The PS3200 in particularly is very under-rated.
I think the 3200 was used on the second last track (no 11) : s950tx16wasr10 [163.97] (earth portal mix).
So as a first post for 2015 I'd thought I'd sort through his most recent gear list
which you can see on his latest album "2014 - Syro".
There is a lot of speculation as to it's authenticity. Is it real or did James do it all in Fruity loops and post this list for fun ??? Anyway, there is nothing wrong with FL. :-)
We can only guess.

Tongue Drums

that I read about recently. Here is a link to a interview.
Be warned .... he is naked half way through :-)
I'm surprised that there is no use of Elektron gear though I'm sure he has that too.
Maybe on the next album. ????
Interesting that Richard is using a Atari 1040.
I have one of these dinosaurs in storage. I remember it did have the tightest timing
back in the day. Maybe I should blow the dust off mine too. ??
