Aphex Twin - XMAS_EVET10 (live in 2010, aka the "Metz Track")

[@rexk4208]

If this gets realeased on the new album, i'm gonna miss all these people voices.

[@justinzint4666]

I know right. I've been listening to this same clip for years. Even with the release, I hope this stays around.

[@onion6667]

do you like the album

[@odinpaxton2408]

@@onion6667 I dont know about our pal Regis K, but I can personally say Syro has been the best album I discovered over this past year and a half. This song is something else fr. Absolutely love it

[@onion6667]

@@odinpaxton2408 same. gotta be the highest production quality and most "proper" in terms too. it just feels like a modern house with all the marble and white and black aesthetic.

[@WillHerndon]

I was just thinking about how I still love this thing and remember it so fondly before it came out years later. Same with the "Manchester" and "Minehead" tracks. I already knew this one was gonna be on the album a week before it came out bc someone tried to reupload it and it got copyright blocked. But the grin that came across my face when the Minehead one came on right after it, don't think I'll ever forget that feeling. I still call it that cause the actual name is kinda insane

[@willscomix]

the album cut is good, but it'll never beat the memories of listening to this shit for three years, obnoxious crowd, grating reverb, clipping and all.

[@glynnisjohns]

I don't know if this is the saddest commentary ever, or just the honest truth. I am in the same boat. Cheers, mate!

[@justinzint4666]

5:15 - 7:00 ... just something about it on this clip. doesn't hit you the same way on the album.

[@traxus12]

It's a different mix than the album version, for sure. There are hihats during that section that are not on the album edit. Not sure which I prefer.

[@WillHerndon]

yep, i was just thinking this morning that syro will turn 10 soon, now i'm here. i used to drive around by myself late at night on back roads and blast this and the "minehead track" with my ipod and aux cord. i love the different hihats at 5:15 in this, i remember being shocked and disappointed that the album version was different, took forever to get used to. i still love this bootleg version so much, almost in a way i think of the syro version as a weird inverse bootleg of this, if that makes any sense.

APHEX BLIMP OVER LONDON SIGHTED.

[@chocofight98]

oh my god... 5:31. this track is incredibly beautiful and intense, emotive. undoubtedly some of Richard D James' very best work out there imo. can't hear to hear the studio version

[@onion6667]

did you like the studio version

[@drexciya2]

I pray this is on his new album SYRO-Metz. It could be XMAS_EVET10 [120][thanaton3 mix] the BPM'S ARE 120 and the track length is 10:31. Which matches this but you never know with RDJ its guess work. Edit Metz is track 2 !!!! :DDDDDDDD Music does not get any higher than this.

did you like the album

[@lucassaintier1324]

God damnit I can't believe I miss that, I live only 5 minutes from the place where it was recorded :(

[@lucassaintier1324]

Plus it was an outdoor concert, and it was free

[@igotashake]

Holy shit that sucks :(

[@thedoc8008]

If this is on Syro, this will be my new favorite song of all time and take the place of Alberto Balsalm.

that's what I thought too but it doesn't sound as good, huh?

[@MagnitudePerson]

The new album is the best release has has ever put out, beating Drukqs and Come To Daddy by miles

[@superjchamma]

This is the best track on the album too. It's stunningly perfect. I love it more every time I hear it.

[@TheIcebomber]

Syro is kickass but no way it's as lush and deep as drukqs.

[@LeRedditArmy]

I double dared rich to release this and he still bloody hasn't

[@SimplyHaffar]

yes richard will listen from leredditarmy indeed

[@johnnycochicken]

Well well well

thank you for double daring him man

[@meadowlarkosby]

This song is just unreal. I cannot wait to hear the mastered version and listen to that shit on repeat.

[@chaosmos24]

Yes! I'm glad someone else hears the marriage of those in this track. :D

[@ScottsGoldClub]

According to that one 2012 interview he did he said that he was waiting for a separation form his wife before he released any more albums. So she's the one who needs to be petitioned.

[@magicj89]

I was right Twin released a rare caustic window album not a regular way, but he did release it. Thank you very much Rich!! '94 - '14

[@RCmies]

This would be fucking dope to hear live. Too bad I will probably never get to go to a concert of any of my favorite artists.

[@RCmies]

Aphex Twin is coming to Finland I'm so stoked gonna see him live. Prob not gonna hear this live though. But if he mixes in parts of this track or something my life would be complete.

[@RCmies]

1 year later and I actually saw him live... Just amazing.

[@BATalsdrTribute]

I kinda agree with him. I have both versions as well, but I decided to upload this one because I like the quality better and because it's longer.

[@MallardGryph]

ITS ON SYRO and is indeed XMAS_EVET10. Listening to the vinyl right now. :)

[@EMAHGERD]

The mastering is so much better on CD and Vinyl

[@EMAHGERD]

***** Low quality bait™

[@SylvaTheMoth]

i need to find the youtube videos with the audio so i can use them for a radio.... btw i have the vinyl... its fucking amazing

[@EMAHGERD]

(S-F)Mr. Frog If you have them on vinyl wheres the problem?

[@SylvaTheMoth]

Alex Json what problem?

[@mpfmax0]

this is the track which made me look forward to his new release, finally the time has come.

[@TheMarrt]

Damn, if this Track will be on Syro..... Fuck Yeah, i mentioned this specific track on the CAT023 kickstarter page

[@RCmies]

I want this played at my funeral

[@birdzzzondayflu2489]

Dang I forgot aphex actually had this straight track cocked and ready to go 2010

[@MechaMugen]

holy hell this bass drum is immense, I really hope the version we get on the album is this massive

After falling so in love with this tune a week ago I'm kicking myself for realizing this has been available on KZbin for a year now (even if it's a live bootleg).

[@elpretentio]

it's still on youtube.. it's one of the first things when you search 'aphex twin metz'. still great though, probably my favorite track of his even though it's never been released. and i've listened to almost all of them

New Aphex Order

I miss Aphex Twin so much. Hoping for some new material very soon

[@tilapiah6]

Confirmed on the new album.

[@MegaCnlSanders]

i was actually thinking the same thing about this that i read some review say about minipops when i first heard it a few months ago . You can hear some inspiration from his contempories in this like burialey vocals around 5:50. Not that it's bad, it actually makes the track sicker but i just wanted to bring it up.

[@ikiiken]

Ahuevo fiestota siempre con éste bro

[@banehardly5396]

You can remove the question mark mate. This track has been confirmed on several track-by-track previews. Watching this video daily until release date.

this is insane

[@JestersGeneration]

Hittin' tha spot

[@WW-qj2ww]

If you look at the lenght of tha track, this could be the socond track on syro. the BPMs do match more or less. The first track is already confirmed as the manchester track

[@HawkOfGP]

This is so amazing

Immense morceau d`Aphex Twin. Un univers décalé

[@thegrimyeaper]

Why would anyone talk over this? And how on earth are you people preferring this version? You're all wrong in the head.

[@TheGero95]

So much suppressed rage mang

[@niminii]

I enjoy this much more then the album version.

[@yyguuyg]

its the same, dummy

[@niminii]

k check your ears then.

[@chaosmos24]

Stanimir Kalchev It is essentially the same. Any difference has to do with the reverb in the venue.

[@niminii]

chaosmos24 Listen closely from 8:12 to the end. You can hear some "back vocals" popping up and fading out. This really makes it for me. Especially around 10:20.

[@MrEp5]

Stanimir Kalchev Indeed, also other touches here and there. Love it!

[@SaurinShah92]

Look up "El Pais Aphex Twin". It's an article from 2011 in which he references his divorce among other things.

[@mordecaicrow5441]

He said in a later interview that he was joking. He's never been married as far as I know.

[@AsellusPrimus]

It's interesting how he could probably release a single of just this song and sell it for $100 a copy and still sell out, yet he doesn't release a single thing. I have no clue what the truth is. I've heard this and that, most prominently that he is waiting for a divorce from his wife. How long does that take? He's always seemed a bit sadistic and seemed to enjoy the power and influence he has, so my gut feeling is that he just likes making everyone wonder and beg. But I don't really know at all.

[@Stewiegriffinist]

I think it's worth it though. His music is awesome.

[@jahshk4168]

He just knows how annoying you are and doesn't want to give you any aphex acids.

[@scorpionicdecline]

It is annoying though i don't think he makes music for money.

[@MojoRisingTV]

He lives happily with his wife and kids... In fact his 5 year old son named his upcoming album. The confusion you feel is simply from the fact that he does not make music for you.. The reason you hear it is because by sharing you and everyone else can make his life easy and comfortable. He makes music like a mmo gamer plays wow.

[@AsellusPrimus]

Josh Kovitz lmao? How the fuck was I being annoying? I was just pointing out how ironic it is that someone who could make tons of money off of anything he releases is very illusive.

[@StararMusic]

what is that amazing vocal track that comes in at the end?
