seeing a bunch of chairs piled right behind the band and no one playing them is giving me anxiety beyond believe *I deserve to be pinned more than the jazz hater guy
When people online say "the boys" I always assume it's a figure of speech for their friend group, but I was wrong. These 5 gentlemen right here... they..... they are The Boys
Although I don’t disagree with you I do it was kinda odd how halfway through the performance they stopped playing and simultaneously yelled “WE DEM BOYS!”
A proper chair player was likely too expensive for them to hire and include in the band. It takes such specific training, I'm not surprised they're missing it at all 🤭
they took the first horn section from Taylor Haskins , the sax part and the guitar solo is not there but there is a studio recording of that give it a listen
to me, the star of this performance has to be the drummer. After hearing this version i realize the original lacks texture on the drum department, the drummer's Interpretation maintains the track original vibe while adding a dynamic grove. i really enjoyed it!
"The original lacks texture on the drum department," huh? I want an eight page essay substantiating your claim on my desk by Monday, son. And follow that up with a second essay on how "e.e. cummings lacks letters on the capitals department."
@@intellikat the percussion in the original track is seemingly made with random sound effects(things that sound like a lighter igniter, a chair being dragged, etc). it's a novel concept but it doesn't really come together super well - the sounds are too disparate to sound as good as a regular drum kit and they're too repetitive and rigidly arranged to really take advantage of their unusual sound
Great playing guys! Just a bit too dark of a sound to my taste, by all of them. Which wah-wah pedal was used here, if I may ask? Compliments from Maribor (SLO)👍
I'd never imagined _Alberto Balsalm_ as a jazz song, but this just sounds 10,000% correct, like it had always been a jazz song all along. Very cool cover, my dude :3
Big RDJ fan. Amazed when they played this in assembly. Even just hearing the Headmaster say “Alberto Balsalm by Aphex Twin” made my year. Great job. Now do Alspacka!
man the bassist tore it up for this one, everyone did a fantastic job and the drummer is amazing as people who can even play an aphex twin track usually are but i am really impressed b the smoothness of the bass licks!
2:52 ties together the sax solo so well.. Jesus christ. That felt victorious. 3:50 the whole filtered guitar solo is beyond this planet, and the guy has THE attitude to play it 5:04 the perfect drum roll doesn't ex- 5:18 nah you got me f'd up with those chimes, that was beautiful
@@businessofrhythm2315They are both super talented. AF doesn't have much solo action, especially anything close to this type of course - which these guys are merking beautifully. Wasn't saying it sounds the same of course. Just said it could be, especially with this arrangement and how the chorus sounds! Its cool how you guys hear it different. I love it when people in TH-cam comments will do absolutely everything to turn a positive comment into a negative one. I hope you guys are okay and keeping good. Keep smashing it Milan n co 😀
OH MY FUCKING GOD!! That shit was crazy omg, you guys NEED to get this a studio version, such afenomenal artists really Hope to see y'all thriving years to come!! Cheers from Brasil!
I visited london. As I took a shower, I saw the shampoo named alberto balsam. That moment I knew where the name of one of my favorite tunes comes from.
so cool! never knew this song is actually a "70s jazzfunk" tune haha. Sounds a bit like something Bob James writes when heard like this. Really cool tune to version like this!
If I was there live, you'd hear a very metalish "YEEEEEEAHHHHHH" at the end. Superb job, boys. Sending Light, Love and Understanding to everyone on Earth. =One Love= -A
holy shit my gf found you in her recommended and me and her immediately subbed as we are both huge fans of jazz and aphex twin. amazing cover! never would have thought i would hear such a different but great arrangement of albetro balsalm. i would definetly invite you to our wedding as musicians adhsdhj/ keep up the good work!
This is fucking amazing. I was a big fan back in the day of Aphex Twin and it's just lovely to see his stuff enduring and getting recognition so many years later. Absolutely love it!

@@milansguitaraccount holly chair!! :D
nice
it's because it is instrumental only, chair is actually a very good singer from aphex twin

also an Amazon Prime show
They definitely deserve a cold one after this.
That's the audience participation part.
Although I don’t disagree with you I do it was kinda odd how halfway through the performance they stopped playing and simultaneously yelled “WE DEM BOYS!”
I read this in Paulie from the sopranos voice
well done boys! It sounds awesome, just missing a chair noise lmao
turns out its a rusty ammo box opening and closing in the song

@@MikkiPike exactly! finally someone that understands our struggles
Same. I was hoping the sax or trumpet was going to pull something crazy and make me question everything but this is still awesome
It's wild as fuck seeing Aphex getting so much love nowadays. Dude helped define my childhood.
What do you mean nowadays? AFX has been getting love for decades.
@@MasDouc Oh I agree. Just usually not from people who weren't already fans.
It's because of William Montgomery

I'm so glad Alberto Balsam is getting the recognition it so rightfully deserves as of late. Richard D James is an absolute musical genius.
Yeh this Aphex Twin guy is gunna be huge one day I can feel it
Wait, I thought they were Twins?!??
Did you watch the Super Mario 64 cover of it?
Me too... Richard disserves all the musical flowers
to me, the star of this performance has to be the drummer.
After hearing this version i realize the original lacks texture on the drum department, the drummer's Interpretation maintains the track original vibe while adding a dynamic grove. i really enjoyed it!
thank you sm that’s me on the drums! 😁
based, i have listened to this like 40 times, very nice work

@@mutantfreak48 speak for yourself, i find drums are over done. Creativity is a breath of fresh air.
ok but why’s no one talking about milan’s guitar solo that shit slaps
haha thanks bro 🙏

You should give Taylor Haskin's rendition a listen too, really good.

The drums are so correct and not easy to play live..!
Amazing arrangement. The drummer's fills are so in the pocket. Great job.
this is unreal, drummer blew my mind and you all killed it. it just sounds so right with the horns
Smooth as. Part of the genius of Alberto Balsalm is that it translates well through almost any style. More jazzy Aphex Twin would be cool!

@@samsrzich5341 fr
For covering a somewhat niche song in an otherwise demanding genre of music? Not a formula for fame.
@@lotanowo goofy ahh thomas hobbes pfp should not be talking shit
sick! you made it sound like it could even be early American Football or Clever Girl. Super good :D
Doesn't sound anything like Americ
an Football
@@MasDouc Thats fair enough if you hear it that way! Everyone is different :) hope you are good man🙏

@@hackett999 you have a pacience of a monk.
drummers got the hardest job by far, such an intricate pattern. good job bois
Aphex twin is my favorite 17th century composer
One of the most haunting tunes ever. Handled perfectly. pull this one out for late night sets at music festivals and you’ll make wooks heads fall off
OH MY FUCKING GOD!!
That shit was crazy omg, you guys NEED to get this a studio version, such afenomenal artists really
Hope to see y'all thriving years to come!! Cheers from Brasil!
bro that bass is insane on a guitar. i love the original synth bass, but a live version with a human touch is just perfection.
absolutely ace
I visited london. As I took a shower, I saw the shampoo named alberto balsam. That moment I knew where the name of one of my favorite tunes comes from.
those 2 notes after my man activated the pitch pedal around 0:30 sent me
I am so happy YT recommended this to me! Well done guys, this was an experience for sure
so cool! never knew this song is actually a "70s jazzfunk" tune haha. Sounds a bit like something Bob James writes when heard like this. Really cool tune to version like this!
Awesome cover ! And so much style wearing these tuxedos !
this is my favourite comment because your name is milan
@@milansguitaraccount HAHAHA I thought about it !
@@F34OIFJ34OIFJ i dont get it ☠
@@grug2085 they are both named milan
As an Appalachian mandolin player; doing a cover from him is a dream...
proud to say ive seen this live
Alberto Balsalm is my favourite among ALL the composers of the nineteenth century, so well done young lads
i dont think aphex twin was alive in the 1800s but thanks!
What are you talking about dude ??
well, the 19th century was the 1800s. we're in the 21st century, and Aphex Twin composed in the 20th century
that is the smoothest bassist ive ever heard
Amazing. Exactly what a jazzy cover of Alberto Balsam should sound like.
I love AFX... And this genius Jazzversion with the Saxsolo is awesome... Lied hören und sterben...!
here before this blows up and you get 100k+ views
hopping on the train, good job lads
They nailed it.
fair play i dont usually like covers but this is amazing; that guitar solo is sick.
I just want to say that I absolutely love this
That guitar solo genuinely gave me goosebumps
the bass is so gentle loving it!
Please make this into a studio recording, this is awesome!
milan went absolutely crazy
I can imagine this playing at a pub and me being the only one in the room who has heard Aphex Twin before.
If I was there live, you'd hear a very metalish "YEEEEEEAHHHHHH" at the end. Superb job, boys.

god thats sick dude I love the gentle crescendo w/ the drums on each solo, great texture very controlled and minimal.
brilliant, it's a jazz standard as it should be
1:01 My God, this part in jazz style is so good, it's like the intro from a detectives action series 😢😢
World class lads
Эх, послушать бы такое исполнение в живую, супер!
Damn that guitar solo. Hell yeah.
The song sounds so natural in this arrangement!! Like it was always meant to be
As an Aphex Twin fan, I found this to be fantastic! Well played boys!
It was about time someone released the jazz that was always inside this song.
Hope the drummer made it back from the asylum by now. 😄
Finally, a version of Alberto Balsam that wouldn’t sound out of place on the SimCity 3000 soundtrack
SimCity 3000s soundtrack was madness in audio format.
Milan’s solo 🤌🤌❤
