Anyway apologies for the off topic part but I gave Collapse EP a listen, and it's okay at best. I don't know with T69 Collapse not clicking with me a lot, I was afraid this was going to happen with the rest of the songs. And it did. I don't know, may end it'll take a while to click with me, perhaps a few listens...??
My experience is that with Aphex (and Autechre to a much larger extend) there is so much going on in the tracks that I really need to listen to it several times for the depth of sounds, layers and "hidden" rhythms to integrate. Given enough time, things really start to "click" and there you go. Some of the less accessible albums take me months to fully appreciate and love, but at the end they all do kind of. Some more than others obviously. But the bottomline is "getting it", which could take some time. Or maybe you didn't like it after all, but most of the time that is impossible to tell on the first listen imo.
I don't really find Collapse EP inaccessible though, but that's me. Just spin it a few times and see what happens I guess
