It serves as the second single and the Japanese bonus track from Aphex Twin's sixth [studio album](/source/Studio_album), *[Syro](/source/Syro)*.[1] The single was released by [Warp Records](/source/Warp_Records) on 6 April 2015 (7 April in North America). The B-sides of the single are an alternate 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](/source/The_405_(website))* 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](/source/Bleep.com) 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](/source/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](/source/Ventolin_(EP))", but there are enough textural transitions to keep listeners giddily agitated".[4] In a review for online dance music retailer [Juno Records](/source/Juno_Records), the track was described as "a blissfully melodious, *[Selected Ambient Works](/source/Selected_Ambient_Works_85%E2%80%9392)* 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](/source/Rephlex_Records) has been noted.[5] ## Track listing WAP381 – side A - 45 RPM No. Title Length 1.
