Aphex Twin should have won the Grammy for Album of the Year

[La Dispute]

Thought Syro was pretty good so why did Beck win it?

Morning Phases was OK but not very electronic or cool.

 

[Lums23]

Was it even nominated?

I thought Syro was a little disappointing personally. I doubt many artists with any credibility lose much sleep over missing out on Grammy's

 

[La Dispute]

Listen to the last track and tell me it was disappointing.

Crazy how you can do things in electronic music that you can't do with acoustic recordings.

It took you 7 months to write this?

Syro was pretty good, nothing he hadn't done before though so it was underwhelming a bit

Pop fans were outraged that a 'nobody' in Beck beat out Katy Perry, Beyoncé etc.. Imagine what they would have said if Aphex Twin had won

There were some good tracks on the album. As a whole though I don't think it's his best work, nor the best album of 2015 (not that Beck's album was either).

Crazy how you can do things in electronic music that you can't do with acoustic recordings.

Only if you also consider it crazy that you can do things with acoustic recordings you can't do electronically.

Need a campaign going to get Battles to take out the top spot next year!

Not compared to his stuff from the early nineties, but it was pretty good.

He's pretty popular so he should have won.

Good luck with that.

Good luck with that.

Didn't like the latest LP?

Didn't like the latest LP?

Haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. No doubt it's good, but I don't imagine it's even on the radar for most Grammy voters.

I love Syro.

It's probably my favourite electronic album of all time..

I know it's not innovative as the early works but I just could not put that album down..

Is this It by the Strokes wasn't innovative, but I love that album.

Should have won a Grammy under the electronic genre, if it's a genre included in the Grammy awards.

diplo would win this grammy every year.

aphex is hit-and-miss for me. SAW 85-92 is a masterpiece, if you ever get the chance on psychadelics... take it.

Another one who loved Syro. It was the only album I bought last year. XMAS_EVET10 being the standout track for me.

Long time Aphex, probably for me the most important artist of the lady 25 years

Is this the second track, where the bongos kick in??

 

[Silent Alarm]

Why don't you listen to the song XMAS_EVET10 and see if the bongos kick in?

 

[La Dispute]

Cheeky

I'm at work at the moment.. Don't exactly have my Ipod with me.. And I can't exactly search the lyrics for it
