Anyone else do the bleep lottery shit with preordering hoping they get the limited edition vinyl with the gear list he can recall for every track in it? There's an image of that in the pitchfork demo.

Wow, he really opened up in that interview.
Midi controlled robots though? Might be easier and cheaper to just pay bunch of people to play for you. Although if you don't like dealing with people I can see the appeal.

I look at it as composing like in a tracker or DAW just instead of a mixdown it's played via robots live, kind of like when i record a live syth part to midi and tweak and adjust it then run it back to the synth for audition with different patches etc.

I'm digging Syro, like he said in his Pitchfork interview it's nothing amazing he's just clearing his head to move onto the next chapter. Still my lp of the year so far.
What about that new Fly Lo single off his new LP that came out yesterday?
Channeling his Coltrane bloodline for real.

Damn really you feel like that? I always liked his jazzy stuff and amped for the boxset that has all the instrumentals.

Same the Kendrick tune is gold instrumental wise and lyrics
Preordered the boxset and praying my preorder of Syro got the ballot chance to get limited edition coming next week.

I'm not prejudiced towards having robots do stuff- quite the opposite actually it's super, but imo he has not managed to deliver an album via that method that can live up the same usual quality or standard.
So if it excuses itself, it's by being superficially 'cool'.
I appreciate a jazzman turning his back on what is such a definitive plane in his work, the feeling or groove, and trying to hit up that maximalist potential 12 finger guitar represents, but imo it took it down a notch or three..
