About the album.

Syro is the sixth studio album from Aphex Twin, the alias of Richard D. James, an electronic record built from electro-funk, acid and breakbeat. Released by Warp in September 2014, it was his first Aphex Twin album since Drukqs in 2001, ending a thirteen-year wait.

The rollout became part of the legend. A green blimp carrying the Aphex Twin logo and the number 2014 appeared over London in August, and the tracklist was revealed through a link on the Tor network. James wrote and produced every track himself, and the sleeve, designed by The Designers Republic, is styled like a receipt itemising the album’s production and promotional costs.

Syro became his highest-charting album in the UK, peaking at number 8. It reached number 11 on the US Billboard 200 and won the 2015 Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album. This pressing spreads the twelve tracks across three 140g records in a six-panel gatefold.

If Syro hooks you, go back to where it started with Selected Ambient Works 85-92, or dig into the playful chaos of Richard D. James Album. For his ambient side, Selected Ambient Works Volume II is the next stop.
