New Aphex Twin Collapse Video Could Cause Seizures

Aphex Twin shared the music video for T69 Collapse, from his upcoming Collapse EP.

Note: The video contains lots of strobing effects and its television debut was reportedly cancelled because it failed the Harding test, a test used to identify images that could trigger photosensitive epilepsy.

  1. If by seizure they mean stimulating my brain they are right. I can watch this all day long, what a fantastic musical video experience!

  2. Its like the same track repeated the last 20 plus years. It has a sentimental value and probably it will lead me to buy the record but honestly in the end this is just an empty shell.

    1. I know, but he slaps the View back at you around 2:58 which consoles me. Maybe he should start, keep and assume a higher level and make stronger assumptions. Low need for time travel. Looking forward to the release.

  3. I get it people like different stuff. It’s ok not to like this no harm at all. All good. Degrading it is another thing. The arrogance of people insulting this music is quite something. Why not compete with him if he’s nothing special? Go ahead show us your chops. If they are better than his we’d have two geniuses to listen to. So we are all ears.

  4. He owes an awful lot to the likes of Cabaret Voltaire and Richard.H.Kirks body of work.
    This is would be remarkably Kirk like with different beat programming.
    Never been a massive fan but have enjoyed certain track over the years.
    Always preferred the likes of Arovane, Beaumont Hannant, Richard H.Kirk, F.S.O.L, Dopplereffekt, Meat Beat Manifesto and so on. I’d still his earlier AFX Works, Ambient Collections and “On” era pieces over this.

  5. I am a huge fan of only his Analogue Bubblebath and Tuss stuff. This Korg Monologue sound is good but I prefer his SH-101 sound on songs like Where is Your Girlfriend, etc. I also like the simpler analog percussion of his early works.

  6. I’m enjoying his bendy vocal sounds, deranged acid, 80s bass and tricksy rhythms. The touches like the hi hats morphing into sheet metal are lovely, still playful and fun to witness.
