One of my favourite records from last year - I'm looking forward to reviewing this :) — sparklism ^hey! 19:50, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Critical reception

• There are three repeat links in this section: Drukqs, The Guardian and Rolling Stone

 Done Fixed. Aria1561 (talk) 03:59, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Images/media

• The three album art images (File:Aphex twin syro.jpg, File:Aphex Twin - Syro alt cover.jpg and File:Syro equipment graphic.jpg) are all tagged as needing a WP:FUR. I would recommend using {{Non-free use rationale album cover}} for the rationale (not the license).

 Done Added rationales. Aria1561 (talk) 21:29, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

• The music file File:Aphex Twin - XMAS EVET10 sample.ogg is also tagged for FUR. It may be that the parameter just needs setting to 'yes' here, because the rationale is already there.

 Done Fixed. Aria1561 (talk) 21:29, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

References

• Ref 103 is dead.

 Done - Fixed; added new source Aria1561 (talk) 21:15, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

This has now been replaced with this link. I might be missing something, but there's no mention of Syro on that page. — sparklism ^hey! 06:16, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

 Done - Replaced it with a better source. Aria1561 (talk) 04:06, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Background

• "..as well as Melodies from Mars, a collection of unreleased material from 1995 which was redone in 2007." How about something like "..as well as Melodies from Mars, a collection of unreleased material from 1995 which James reworked in 2007"?

 Done Aria1561 (talk) 00:44, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

• " under the same pseudonym" → " under the Caustic Window alias"?

 Done Aria1561 (talk) 00:44, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Accolades

• "Syro was nominated for, and subsequently won, a Grammy Award.." → "Syro won a Grammy Award.." because it's just simpler to say it this way

Summary

This is a very high quality article as it stands. I'll be going through everything in depth as part of this review and adding to my comments above, but this is already close to GA status, from what I can see. — sparklism ^hey! 21:46, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

This is looking really good. I've got a few (minor) concerns about the prose, which I'm too busy IRL to detail right now - I'll provide some commentary on this over the next day or two. Thanks — sparklism ^hey! 07:31, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Sorry this has taken me so long. I've added a couple of points above - I'm not a copyediting expert by any means, but most of what I see seems reasonable enough. I'd recommend taking this to WP:GOCE at some point, but I won't let this get in the way of the GA review. — sparklism ^hey! 09:27, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

OK, all of my concerns have been addressed, so I'm happy to pass this as a good article - well done! And also congrats to Idiotchalk, who has been a huge contributor to this article. Thanks — sparklism ^hey! 08:23, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
