Talk:Syro

Analord, Chosen Lords and 26 mixes for cash
When referring to Richard D. James and not just "Aphex Twin" It's inaccurate to say that this is his first release since Drukqs. He released the Analord EP series http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analord in 2006, including a selection of Analord tracks on the Chosen Lords CD, and then additional Analord bonus tracks in 2009, all under the name AFX. Prior to that, he had also released "26 Mixes for cash" in 2003, as Aphex Twin. 26 mixes for cash wasn't entirely original work, but nearly every track was so heavily remixed by Aphex Twin that they are barely recognizable. Counting 26 mixes as an Aphex Twin album and Analord as a single release, Syro would in fact be his 3rd release since 2001's Drukqs. I would update the article but I figure folks might want to discuss it further, since this is indeed the first release of entirely original work under the name Aphex Twin, since drukqs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.148.186.194 (talk) 17:37, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Correct release date?
Well, two different media sources, both of which have published the press release, present two different release dates. Is this a UK/US difference, or is this further trickery by James and his team? --Soulparadox (talk) 09:03, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * No trickery, I'm afraid! Release dates differ per country, usually selected by the record label so as to sell as much copies as possible within a chart week. For example: Syro will be released on 17 September (Friday) in Ireland because it's the day that the music charts are published pubically and a new chart week begins; in the UK, it's 21 September (Sunday) for the same reason. Publications are mentioning release dates specific to their own countries and readers, e.g. Pitchfork in the US and Digital Spy in the UK. There's official sources cited for each release date at the bottom of the article which should be reflected in the prose, not speculation as to correct regional dates (which we already have). -- Idiotchalk ( t@lk ) 07:11, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Excellent—I was thinking this, but didn't see anything written in the media articles about the different markets, which normally is included by journalists. This makes sense, so thank you.--Soulparadox (talk) 13:50, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * "the music charts are published pubically" ... got any pictures? (-: --2001:6F8:1071:10:45B6:B6C5:8DFE:9A0C (talk) 08:29, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Country release dates
Hi, Just curious how useful it is to list every release date for tons of countries? As this is the English wikipedia and Richard is a predominantly English artist, shouldn't we focus on release dates that would be the earliest, than other countries that would be useful for predominantly English users? (UK, Ireland, US, etc.?). I'm not even sure if we should be using the iTunes store as a source for these things. Andrzejbanas (talk) 12:30, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Edit warring
Before a pointless edit war breaks out… could John Snow II and 84.10.80.14 please discuss any issues you might have here? In the last 24 hours two Wikpedia policies (WP:3RR and WP:NPA) have been violated, and it's not benefiting the article whatsoever—that includes the removal of additional sourced material, not just issues you might have with the wording of some parts of the article. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Syro&oldid=624175053 maintains the "forthcoming", "British" and "penultimate" wording that seems to be the main issue; it also contains large portions of sourced information that is both newly added and was needlessly wiped during reverts. -- Idiotchalk ( t@lk ) 16:25, 4 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes please let's discuss; I am genuinely baffled as to what the concern was in the first place. The article's looking good at present through. John Snow II (talk) 12:46, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
 * It is my firm belief that both Wikipedia and Richard D. James deserve better than this, so thank you to Idiotchalk  for raising the matter.--Soulparadox (talk) 07:38, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Is it possible to add IDM as a genre to this album? J.A.F (talk) 16:23, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey J.A.F, I tried digging up some sources for the album. I couldn't find any specifically for this album as a whole, this is sort of the closest I could find. I think journalists and reviewers are hestiant to use this term anymore because of it's kind of snobby attitudes ("it's intelligent!", etc.) so it may be hard to find a source for it. If you can find any from a reliable source, I don't see why we couldn't add it. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:27, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Aphex Twin's new store link includes an extra track at the end, "end E2". Other Aphex Twin tracks are like this as well. Do we acknowledge them? https://aphextwin.warp.net/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:DDC3:2000:CD50:503C:AC74:65D4 (talk) 05:09, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Wiki links within quotes
I have removed numerous Wiki links that were placed within journalist quotes. Please refer to the relevant section in the Manual of Style to attain further clarity on this matter. Thanks.--Soulparadox (talk) 11:39, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
