    I love turning on SAW2 on shuffle before I go to sleep because you never know which song you'll wake up to. Sometimes I woke up in a pure horror and man what an experience it is! That's my favourite album by Richard too and I kinda believe that stone in focus is the greatest piece of music EVER created because it never fails to amaze me how he packed so much emotion in such a simple melody. Just mindblowingly amazing

    I Care Because You Do is an album that surprises me every time I come back to it. The tracks may seem quite simple at first listen, but the album is incredibly deep. There's so much more beneath the surface than I initially realized.

      I have it on vinyl, and when Cow Cud Is A Twin came on and Richard yelled "alright!" My dad jumped and thought someone was yelling outside. It just shows aphex twins amazing sound design. And the album was made in the 90s!

    Hey Smags, during your reaction of Beach House's Bloom, you said at 9:00 you would do a Minecraft lets-play if the video got 300 likes. The video has 888 likes, yet for some reason I can't seem to find your Minecraft let's play (I would also accept a reaction/review of Hot Fuss from the Killers

    The craziest part is how small of a fraction of his overall discography is the albums. You could include everything else and I bet this video would be at least an hour long, if not 2. AFX, Mike & Rich, The Tuss, the SoundCloud dump, the DJ sets. Man made so much music and made most of it completely inaccessible to the average fan. It’s ballsy but I sort of respect it.

    i used to have mild short sleep paralysis pretty regularly, but the only time ive experienced it in the last few years was when i fell asleep high during my first listen of icbyd. when i ""woke up"" (yk, sleep paralysis) it was around 4 am, and ventolin was playing, which gave me the overwhelming feeling that i was being stabbed. i vividly remember gaining control of my neck and shaking my head back and fourth until i was just awake enough to open my eyes and desperately scramble out of bed to turn off the song. upon relistens, i actually like ventolin a lot if im honest
    edit: bucephalous bouncing ball is top 1 and probably my favorite song of all time, also funny little man is hillarious, both deserve better rankings imho

    I did 7 backflips when I saw the title of this video. Also the reason for some of the song titles in ICBYD is that they are anagrams for “Aphex Twin” or “Richard D James”.

    you are the man
    a few recommendations:
    songs - Adrianne Lenker (folk, singer-songwriter)
    Ghosts of the Great Highway - Sun Kil Moon (folk rock, singer-songwriter, alt-country)
    SMILE :D - Porter Robinson (pop-punk, pop, electronic)
    Process - Sampha (experimental r&b, great production)
    Hypochondriac - Brakence (very experimental emo rap, glitch pop)
    Reading Writing And Arithmetic - The Sundays (the smiths ish, with beautiful female vocals)

      @wartortle5151 No way I'm being recognized in the wild. That's crazy!
      Anyway, maybe some time in the future. However, I wanna do those for artists/bands with big and interesting discographies, so it would be a very long video series like the Aphex Twin one. I'm trying to not pick up multi-hour long projects at the moment though so it won't be any time soon.

      Btw just wanted to say that the Aphex Twin one is one of my favourite video series on this platform, I return to it pretty often because it's funny af and it was my main source of getting into Richard's more obscure stuff.
      And yeah, you've officially made it ;)

    Syro wasn't created on a DAW. The sequencer used is mostly a Cirklon, and he programs everything to the 10th millisecond. The kinds of thinks he is able to do, the subtlety and complexity, without a DAW is mind-blowing. The album is much deeper than its first impression.

    Hey Smags, recent viewer of yours here. Knowing how much you seem to love electronic music, and idm/ambient in particular, please consider doing a reaction to The Ineffable Truth by G Jones. He takes inspiration from Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Flying Lotus, Eprom, etc. and warps that idm sound into modern rave bangers. If you have never heard experimental bass music before, I think this album surpasses anything within that label by leaps and bounds. Definitely a must hear for music production nerds. Hope you've been doing alright! Keep up the great content, man.
