"MARCHROMT30A edit 2b 96" is a song by the English electronic musician Richard D James, credited under the pseudonym Aphex Twin. It serves as the second single and the Japanese bonus track from Aphex Twin's sixth studio album, Syro.[1]
The single was released by Warp Records on 6 April 2015 (7 April in North America). The B-sides of the single are a new version of the Syro track "XMAS_EVET10 [120] (thanaton3 mix)" and an alternate version of the title track.[1][2]
Reception
The title track has been well-received and has been described by The 405 as "a jewel of a piece, set to a majestic refrain that puppeteers the gloriously alive-sounding chords and soft bass into painting a nameless picture of triumph, breaking into virtuosic moments of turntablism and characteristic glitch to gritty effect"[3] and by Bleep as "a writhing electronic treasure that is totally hypnotic with lurking sub-bass and an airy beat hovering above the surface".[2] Karim Vickery's review for Other Music called it "a squishy, slab of electro-boogie that fits in with Syro's funhouse vibe", noting that "[i]t won't scare the pants off of you like "Ventolin", but there are enough textural transitions to keep listeners giddily agitated".[4] In a review for online dance music retailer Juno Records, the track was described as "a blissfully melodious, Selected Ambient Works style slice of electronic beauty".[5]
The B-sides were also well received, with both being called "similarly impressive".[5] In reviews, "XMAS_EVET1 N" has been described as "an equally entrancing piece that offers a fresh take on the Syro standout"[2] and the similarity between "MARCHROMT38 Fast" and the output of Rephlex Records has been noted.[5]
