The new Aphex Twin album 'Syro' is a 2014 highlight for me. And it's not all about the music.
The artwork details a lengthy series of costings for the record, from 'Online advertising in Norway' to 'Leah's taxi from Warp office to radio station', and offers a breakdown of associated costs that most people (including myself) would never have considered with a new release.
It's all very tongue in cheek, and the actual costs remain a mystery: Does it really cost £0.02286 for 'Digital mastering including studio time, running parts and upload'?
The list even includes the cost associated with dealing with illegal uploads of copyrighted Aphex Twin songs.
It's easily my favourite artwork in some years. And a decent album too.
