Judging by the initial early reaction to this month’s listening parties, Aphex Twin’s album ‘Syro’ sounds as if it is going to live up to the monumental hype.

If you missed out on the previous ballot for one of the worldwide listening parties, fear not as Warp Records will be taking Richard D James’ new album on tour to a host of UK-based record stores starting from today.

Dates and details are below, apparently the parties will be first come first served.

17/9 6pm – Piccadilly Records, Manchester
18/9 6pm – Rise, Bristol
19/9 6pm – Monorail, Glasgow
20/9 4pm – The Music Exchange, Nottingham
21/9 12pm – Rough Trade East, London
