An old friend of mine got turned into atmospheric and piano stuff back in the day and would tell me all about Aphex Twin and why and how I should listen to him. I tried and for one reason or another I just couldn't get it, even though I respected my friend's opinion when it came to music. We kinda drifted apart and maybe 4-5 years later I heard he was a kick ass (almost a pioneer)musician in Ireland of that type of music that he espoused to me back in the day. I was so happy for him as he was so passionate about what he was doing musically and couldn't give two shites if people liked it or not. Then he died of some rare heart thing, in his mid 30s, just as he was getting some recognition. A healthy guy who preferred fishing on a hidden spot on a river than lapping up praise in a Dublin music spot. His name was Conor Walsh and I wish I got to know him more when he was alive. Conor Walsh I drink this can of cheap Lidl Perlenbacher in salute to you. Gone but never forgotten.

Hey, here I am! Someone that loves this track as much as you do. Unfortunately, you probably meant someone in your close proximity. Now that, is truly a special thing.
I remember being on a flight after concluding a business trip. It was one of those shitty late night/early morning A.M. flights where you dose off and wake up. I looked outside the window. As I usually do, I like window seat. I look at the Earth, and marvel at the scenery whether it's the clouds, the ocean, the desert, the mountains. I was reading a book. Can't remember which one. I wanted some light music to accompany my reading. So I put in my headphones, and entered the flight entertainment menu that was available on the airline. Aphex Twin was one of the options in the music menu. Imagine. Outside the window was few blinking lights of some small random towns we were probably passing over. It was cool inside. The constant "whirring" monotonous aircraft "white noise". I put in Aphex twin and began reading my book. It was the Selected Ambient Works - album. By the end of the second track (Tha) I put down my book. There was no internet, but my first instinct was to google these guys. I stared into the monitor. The track names were strangely titled too. What is this feeling? Why do I like this stuff? I had it on repeat for my entire flight. I continued humming it/playing it in my head even throughout passport control, before arriving home. That's my story with Aphex Twin. Every time I get on a flight, one of their sound tracks hit me.
This feels like the calm before the storm, something terrible is coming, so it is best to just enjoy the calm while it's here. This image is perfect, as if a huge wave of darkness, filled with vile creatures are about to consume the light. You are there, waiting, enjoying the last moments of peace you have before it all gets ripped away from you. Beautiful, and sad.
I don't know what it is, but there's something sinister about this track. It's lovely and relaxing at first, but if I listen long enough it's like I can just make out the silhouette of something malevolent and predatory moving behind the scenes. Such a strange admixture of calming and upsetting.
You know in a way that makes so much sense, it's like when you're tripping it's like flying high in the sky, sleeping is the opposite. It's like your soul goes deep underground into the core of the earth, with dreams like vague memories from the surface
I decided to at least temporarily return from my uploading hiatus to post this amazing new release by Richard. A few others will probably follow. Enjoy : )
YarbTheLegend Glad to see you back, Yarb! Love this channel, and grown to love the work of RDJ more and more. Loving this new soundcloud stuff, especially Japan! You should upload some stuff off Syro and the superb new EP too. Keep going strong :)
Aphex is easily one of my top favorite artists. He reminds me of my childhood although finding him at age 20. Idk, his just music feels so satisfying to the ears both ambient and techno.
Even the smallest dose of melatonin can give you the most vivid dreams, every time I take it and listen to Aphex Twin, I have lucid dreams, and I can always hear this song in the background.
Who could possibly dislike this? This is just perfect in Title and Realisation. The ultimate Tune for being in between "letting go" and "being gone". AT at it`s Best.
@@mikenorledge4110 I just want to understand I'm not a native english speaker so I don't understand why you are talking about grammr :) I never met him and I was believing this tank story was just a legend :O
This track is so mellow that I zoned out and dropped my custard cream into my cup of Horlicks. Thing is this was last October and I still can't fucking get it out. It's like it hardened to the sides like a limpet. I don't know if I need a teaspoon or a chisel or a therapist or what. Has anyone else experienced this while listening to this track? I could really use some advice tbh. It's my favourite bloody mug an all.
I was about to comment how insanely English this comment sounds but it's good to know you aren't from England. I would have felt really sorry for you if you were from there.
I love when a song matches its title. this track is definitely telling me to go to sleep. its like dread cause im tired and cant sleep but slowly it sets in.
One of those tracks you can replay for an hour and not grow tired of it.. Love this. :) Going to make a mix for sleeping soon, this will be in it for sure.
This song makes the whole world feel so quiet when it's all so loud. Plus, i always feel so nostalgic and depressed when i listen to this from time to time. Such a good song...
@@thedarksoul4585 You might want to check out following playlist of the best electronic gems I collected over the years. I bet you would find stuff you'll like in there m.th-cam.com/play/PL31BSvvOE3BNfPNCHST1OYWLIAy1lwvOp.html
Sometimes I prefer the simplicity of Richard's tracks over his more complex ones. Don't get me wrong, boy/girl is still my favourite track of him. But this track is one of those that can just carry you away in a smooth rocking-chair of compelling soundwaves. Just like Z-twig!
Love how he is able to mix all the different synthesis styles and make it sound good. Very low cutoff on various elements, I like that. Very calming and mellow effect.
There's something about this tone, something eerily similar yet very unique that I just can't express in words. It's not the aspect of vocabulary that stopping me, but something much deeper. maybe on the side of self-realization that I lack till now. Hopefully, one day I will be able to express what kind of feelings this song truly evokes in me.
You're faced with two options: 1. Stay put, watching the world move around you, stuck in one place, repeating the same patterns indefinitely. Safe. 2. Embrace the storm, endure struggles, and even get hurt along the way. But the journey leads to something worthwhile on the other side: change. Unsafe.
Other people have said this I know. This is probably in the top ten. Mainly because of the symbolism. The title, the melody, the background, the feeling, the mystery. This is more than music it is a feeling where creativity comes from. The intent is to create something different but somewhat relatable to understand. Calling Aphex Twin a musician would be obvious, but I see him as an inventor of something. Something that will find you digging deeper into the rabbit hole.
Imagine if you will, riding along the edge of a cliff. Glancing down in to darkness. Would you wager there would be life down there? Would you call it life? All that is devoid of light. Like the fading glimpses of sunshine on a cold winter’s day, darkness is coming for you. Edging ever closer as day breaks. Like arms stretching out to embrace an old friend. I will have you for a time. Once the shadows devour the last specs of light, you will know darkness, and i will have you for a time.
This beautiful track is apt considering the time we are currently living in. Quarantine has given my anxiety and bipolar disorder a real challenge everyday. I've even had trippy, reality shattering experiences. For example, playing Red Dead 2 where in the game it was dim and raining. When I paused and went into the kitchen I gasped because the weather was bright and it was daylight. I can't distinguish dreams from reality all that well and a panic attack feels like it's always around the corner. The ups and downs are intense and it's so difficult to accept life may never be the same again.
Hi my unknown friend, have a listen to Tripzville "Point Zero " th-cam.com/video/qKdGEiCL_Kk/w-d-xo.html. You may enjoy the uplifting message within this ambient tune. Blessings from New Zealand.
Simplemente increíble. Lloro de la emoción de escuchar algo tan autista y lejano al ser humano. Nunca nadie ha ido tan lejos. La música a través de sueños lúcidos de Aphex Twin es definitivamente la octava maravilla.
I feel like calling it SAW3 would be a little too gimmicky for his tastes. Have you scoured through the vast data dumps of unreleased content? I've barely scratched the surface but I bet you'll find plenty of haunting, ambient gems in there.
Many thanks indeed. I'd missed this one when it came out. When I think of Aphex Twin, it's never material as sedate as this that immediately comes into my mind.
this song -to me- feels like you're in a coocoon and you don't know whats coming next. In this state of mind you're a kind of timewarp back to your future memories of being a butterfly, but you don't know yet what is a butterfly exactly
Your work is among the very very few things left to enjoy for me, Aphex Twin. Soon I might not be able to enjoy even this. But I existed, or believe so, on this terrible planet, and I enjoyed it 🥲
In the middle of the song played on autoplay from youtube I realised I was listening to music, I got completely hypnotised by this piece. Forgot about the sounds, it was something natural. Now the song is over and I can hear the giant emptiness soaking in through my ears.
I had a TH-cam playlist going on in the background while I worked when this track came on. It's remarkably unsettling. Yes, it's charming and relaxing on its face, but the repeating phrase really started to put my hair on end. It reminds me of recurring sound loops in old videogames, and the minor-ey sound feels like something strange is trying to break into my mind.
It's 3.45am and although I get to sleep in tomorrow it's back to work the day after, and as usual my bodyclock will be so out of sync there'll be no point even trying to sleep earlier tomorrow night. Listining to TH-cam music like this at 4am keeps me going but sure messes up my circadian rhythm for work.
This is not a song, this resembles that fogged feeling where you feel confused and at the verge of slipping into a void because past has been very difficult and things dont seem to turn up well in near future. You think. You miss something. You feel... nothing. The prospect of dying attracts you more than that of living. You want to fall asleep
For me, I image a flower field, with a sunny, clear sky and with a breeze when I listen to this. It's almost like if this soundtrack is what the sunny weather would be like if it were music. This is why I love Richard. 7\
I think a narrow ray of light enlightens the tree of life and everything surrounding it is dark. If you wanna to look towards the leaves of life you'll see the light. If you look around, you'll feel depressed, alone, and lost. The almost surreal representation also reminds on how much life is absurd, even in the complete darkness and infinity of the universe here symbolized by all the darkness surrounding the lonely tree (us), we can see light, it's all about how you look at it, but it's always absurd.
An old friend of mine got turned into atmospheric and piano stuff back in the day and would tell me all about Aphex Twin and why and how I should listen to him.

We can only hope my friend. I love his whole discography but its his more mellower ambient songs I love the most.
True ambient maybe, but some of the tracks on SAW2 were creepy. "Hankie" (track 4) is definitely one of them.

This sound literally makes you not being afraid of anything anymore. The tranquility it delivers reaches beyond mortal comprehension
eh listens to atwin and doesnt afraid of boring pads
you ever squeeze a jimmy out your binghole after holding it in for a toss? now THAT's tranquility
Listen to it at .95 speed tell me how you feel.
You can't over analyze music or the feeling music creates.
Clearly you are under analyzing this or just have a lack of intellect
Calm the fuck down.

This image is perfect, as if a huge wave of darkness, filled with vile creatures are about to consume the light.

Should’ve been the song at the end of “Don’t Look Up”
Something wicked this way comes .........🌚
I don't know what it is, but there's something sinister about this track. It's lovely and relaxing at first, but if I listen long enough it's like I can just make out the silhouette of something malevolent and predatory moving behind the scenes.
Such a strange admixture of calming and upsetting.
Right? Reminds me of something out of an Ari Aster film like Midsommar
I find it terrifying
This comment right here. This is why I love aphex twin.
это музыка всего, зарождения вселенной, эволюции, смерти
в ней есть всё
Ambient can save your life
I have the feeling that this song came from inside the planet Earth. Fantastic trip.

I feel like this song would background sad events.. it's very haunting.
It really does that haunting aesthetic to it... it's out of this world.
You think this is haunting?! Listen to "Tree" then and feel the chills!
For me, it sounds like something you'd hear in an unsettling 90s point-and-click PC game.
Sounds like something from selected ambient works 2
It's possible that it was recorded in that era as Richard is known to put out songs decades after recording them.
This is what is played right before you get judged by God
🤨🤣 that’s weird that you picture that while listening to this I don’t see that at all
No it’s not. Gos doesn’t exist. But i believe in ghosts. It may be their music.

For me, I image a flower field, with a sunny, clear sky and with a breeze when I listen to this. It's almost like if this soundtrack is what the sunny weather would be like if it were music. This is why I love Richard. 7\
Aye yarbs back! :D ive already downloaded all his soundcloud releases, beautiful shit, lots of variety too.
How did u download all that stuff?
Miguel Silva downloadhelper add-on for mozilla firefox I bet
at times you can hear veeeery slight distorted sounds tickling your ear. not sure if its on purpose but it makes it so much greater
WHY IS IT SO SCARY
perfect sound, as always. Luv u Afx.
music to study, think and concentrate :)
This plays in my head 24/7
I love the background
Finally, a true AT ambient track
More like _Selected Ambient Techno Works 85-92_, am I right?
You'd like SAW II by him as well
Finally? You never heard Rhubarb or Stone in Focus? There are many others as well.
the rare and raw elements of ambient music bite harder than reality.....thats because mind is over matter ....
i dont want this to end but everything else
I think a narrow ray of light enlightens the tree of life and everything surrounding it is dark. If you wanna to look towards the leaves of life you'll see the light. If you look around, you'll feel depressed, alone, and lost. The almost surreal representation also reminds on how much life is absurd, even in the complete darkness and infinity of the universe here symbolized by all the darkness surrounding the lonely tree (us), we can see light, it's all about how you look at it, but it's always absurd.
i remember commenting on the soundcloud that it sounds like a super metroid track, it still does lol
Back from a trip, was a wild one. Thanks aphex
Soundtrack of smoking a blunt layed down in the middle of nowhere on a full moon night
the best experimental music from the best musician of the century
I can feel myself flying in a claustrophobic dark labyrinth alone and aimlessly
"experimental" nice joke

perfect peace and reflection
