    i was in Japan in 2019. I took the Yurikamome line to Odaiba from Shimbashi. When I realised it was the same line as the footage I saw in this video, I simply sat in amazement for the whole journey.

If you listen up until 1:14 the higher notes are more slow and calming and the lower bass notes more fast paced and chaotic. But after about 1:20 the higher notes are the fast paced sounds and the bass notes are the slower paced and calmer sounds.

      @jakevainio3943 3 ปีที่แล้ว +129

      From a music theory standpoint, that feeling comes not only from the tone and timbre of the bass note, but most importantly the fact that the actual note being played isn’t the tonic note of the scale, or what most people would hear as “home”. Instead, Richard gives us a minor 6th the entire time, prolonging that sense of need for resolution and leaving you hanging in the air, waiting for that “home” note

      Aphex Twin, also known as England's Richard James, was once a bushranger of all turpitude and disharmony, and he made records, particularly 1993's gorgeous Selected Ambient Works 85-92, that ceded the course of electronic music. With Drukqs, James delivers his most cadaverous noise of all: a double CD, thirty-track fabric of absolutely sycophant song titles, gratuitously weird sounds surfeited with a misdemeanor. Among the fans of IDM, or Intelligent Dance Music, as this sort of musical obloquy is lamentably labeled like he hadn't gotten some shuteye, rumor has it that James slowly coagulated this record with bedamned outtakes that have been esculenting up space on his hard drive for years, then released the album as a deal-breaker with his label, Warp. Or perhaps the explanation for the rambunctious incoherence of the termagant album lies in its quaggy, unfunny clepe. Either way, he should have never done Drukqs, because his new noise mostly just sounds brobdingnagian and like a obstreperous subterfuge.

    This is probably my most favourite Aphex Twin track and one of my most favourite pieces of music I’ve ever heard.

    The horns that come in at 3:51 might be the greatest sound in any song ever

      Isn't Drill and Bass a subgenre to Drum and Bass?

      postmodern classical music if you really need to label all this shit. I don't see why we don't just make music and let it stand on its own, rather than having to classify it constantly.

      Without classifications, you can't find similar music. Everything falls into some manner of classification.
