James, credited under the pseudonym Aphex Twin. It is the opening track and lead single from Aphex Twin's sixth studio album, Syro.
Released as a single on 4 September 2014 on Warp Records, James debuted "minipops 67 (120.2)" at a show in Manchester seven years prior to its release and the song was made available on several bootlegs. The track received positive reviews after its premiere broadcast on BBC Radio 1 and its official download release.
"minipops 67 (120.2)" is one of the older compositions on Syro, which Richard D James estimated as being recorded in 2007 or 2008, according to the Fader. The song's title is a reference to Korg Mini Pops, a 1967 drum machine used by James during Syro's recording sessions.
"minipops 67 (120.2)" premiered on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 programme on 4 September 2014. Following its original broadcast the track was released as a stream on Warp Records' official SoundCloud account and YouTube channel, accompanied by a portion of the single's press release in broken English. The single, which was James' first single release under the Aphex Twin pseudonym since 1999's "Windowlicker", was made available as a digital download from various online retailers including Bleep.com, iTunes, Google Play and Amazon. The single cover art, which is similar to the artwork for Syro, details statistics and user activity on Aphex Twin's YouTube channel from February to September 2014.
Upon its release, "minipops 67 (120.2)" received warm critical acclaim. Writing for NPR's All Songs Considered, Otis Hart referred to the track as "signature AFX" and said "the synths bounce erratically … The warped vocal sighs are disorienting, yet blissful. There's nothing poppy about it, yet it somehow sticks in your head." Pitchfork Media writer Patric Fallon awarded "minipops 67 (120.2)" the "Best New Track" accolade and called it "analog maximalism", comparing its composition to James' previous releases, including "the plinky, translucent synths of Selected Ambient Works", the "vocal abstractions" of Richard D James Album and the "excitable dissonance" of Drukqs.
Rolling Stone's Daniel Krepps referred to "minipops 67 (120.2)" as "melodic" and reminiscent of James' earlier ambient material, and noted that during his 13-year hiatus as Aphex Twin "his talents haven't dulled in the least." Chris DeVille of Stereogum praised the song, describing that it "bears traces of Caribou's liquid bounce and Burial's high-minded skittering, while the vocals reflect Thom Yorke's alien moaning." Consequence of Sound noted that the song "finds Aphex Twin triumphantly returning to form."

@jorgeortega6806
its ridiculous how this album gets better and better the more times you listen to it
@JMJC1
I hear something new every time I listen to it. So many small changes.
@devin1158
no shit
@polygontwin
Which is testament as to how good the other albums were at first listen.
@matheusmoreira6291
@@polygontwin do u like analord series different time each time u listen
@aleab3472
I don’t perceive the same in Analord compared to Syro… tracks are way more “simple”
@d-culture927
What I really love about Syro is how it somehow manages to sound both familiar or retro and incredibly futuristic at the same time.
@mikeisapro
That's an astute observation. I feel the same way, and felt it during the first several times I heard this song and the LP in full.
@sicfilms
that's a feckin edgy comment m8
@RCmies
It's such a carefully perfected collection of sounds
