![Stone In Focus - Aphex Twin, but it's a perfect loop [1 hour]](/img/tr.png)
time to sit in an isolated hot spring and contemplate life
Currently sat in a hot bath doing exactly this!

Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing.
This song reminds me of a happy time when my Dad got out of hospital. That week we went to a beach in the Highlands of Scotland, and wanting to be alone for a while, I went off and sat by myself amongst the sand dunes and listened to this track on my old ipod, resting in the sunshine with my bare feet swishing over the soft white sand which a gentle little breeze was blowing into waves across the surface. I felt the pain of knowing that he was sick but the relief I got to spend more time with him, and a great sense of relaxation knowing that he was nearby sitting on the other side of the dune. RIP Dad
I feel you mate.
Brilliant. That love for our Dad is eternal. RDJ's capacity to sonically prompt the memory, thought, feeling, emotion... Thank God we can access those places throught the artist's that guide us there - lovingly.
Your story brought a tear to my eye.
Felt every word of this. He's smiling from above...
i'll be going for a wander amongst the dunes soon enough with my dad...
thanks for sharing x
and yes, thanks Richard
At last, I can be the monkey in the water
😂
The cover is from the PoV of the monkey
Amen.
Tree monkeys like to be in the clouds.
Good one
Listening to this on my way home. I teach children with profound and multiple learning difficulties. On my first day as a teacher 4 years ago a little boy aged 3 had his first day at school, the doctors said he had 2 years left to live. He graduated from my class today, aged 7. I taught him for 4 years, he taught me more about life than anything or anything ever has.
Today's a great day indeed. I feel like I'm a snow monkey who's very much focused on a stone. Thank you, Mr. Twin.
Snow Monkeys? Like the ones that jumped on Nolan Ryan? th-cam.com/video/EEmkavArrHk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OhaxRa5YTlFgcwFJ
Cheers from Texas
that image should be the co-official "track title"
@@cathanofyou mean track cover
To me this is the sound of grass growing.... nice and slow, repeating, over and over, endlessly, forever and ever.
never thought of this song that way... this is a beautiful interpret
markiplier fiber optic cable core
I take it as a quote
For me it’s the cycle of memories of my life. Everything, regrets and happiness, I get to see it all. Like a movie scene before the person dies. It’s like the song forces the thoughts I want to hide from, forces the feelings I avoid feeling, but it holds my hand throughout it as I walk through them.
STONE IN FOCUS FINALLY ON STREAMING LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO
in four months
it's been on Spotify for years
or so I thought
mfw Soulseek exists
can't seem to find it..
this is what the transition from winter to spring feels like
I'm pregnant. My unborn baby always settles down and stops kicking when I listen to this track. She's already a fan. Thanks Richard, from both of us.
Lame
shi~
@@donwanderley7156 wait until you are born...
Это немного пугает
Best wishes ❤🎉 my babies love it too. Also rhubarb & selected ambient works 1
one of the most beautiful tracks ever made. is amazing how much of the human spirit you can reach with a couple chords
I’m gonna tell my kids that this was Aphex Twin.
Because it is
Поддерживаю 👍
lmao
I told my kids it was the sun outside today too...
@@Whitehot724 I suppose you’ve never heard of the “I’m gonna tell my kids that…” comment.
Only this time, I’m being literal because Aphex Twin is such a god of a music artist.
I was literally listening to a 10-hour looped version of stone in focus when I got this notification 🤯
Probably THE greatest Ambient track ever made.
Yup, along with Eno's An Ending (Ascent)
This Vletrmx21 and Terminal Z for me.
@@TOMinPDX haha, was thinking of that when I posted.
Possibly. Rhubarb is up there too, of course
I wholeheartedly agree with you
...i turn 50 this year and have loved this track since the first time i heard it all those years ago ....still sounds incredible 😢❤
I was about to fall asleep, but Richard's notification almost made me cry
I think Richard wants you to sleep
@@NJ-wb1cz Es hora de mimir 😴💤
My great uncle died and driving to the funeral today I thought I should listen to something to give me time to think. I looked up stone in focus in my soundcloud likes and listened to it twice on the 30min drive. It really helped me to process and reflect. Thanks for releasing it to the world so others can have comforting sounds to uncomfortable situations.
STONE IN FOCUS FINALLY ON STREAMING?? I’M CRYING
why this song wasn't on streaming in the first place?
@@tosinochoclo track 19 [side 5, track 2, omitted from CD’s]:
This track has now thankfully been found and uploaded here, I was very worried it had been lost, very relieved*** It was not included on the original CD’s as there wasn’t enough room. I usually always give priority to the vinyl versions of all my releases as I never ever really liked CD’s much, think I would have liked CD’s a little bit more if you could put 90 mins on them, who decided they were to be 74 mins anyway? Thinking about this now I’d love to try and get Warp to do high quality chrome cassette versions of all my Warp musics, maybe even metal ones if possible. If I wait a year or so for this I could include all the extras on the cassettes as there would be plenty of room, would have to sign the tracks over to Warp first for a physical release, something I don’t have to do for this website but that shouldn’t be too difficult.
(A side note from the saw2 release on official afx shop site, before this new one)
One like for that burial thumbnail.
@@coda31313 does that mean that we would have the Analogue Bubblebath and Analord EPs available too?
@@claupas24 this particular release of stone in focus with this side note was published in afx site some time ago (not sure with dates, but at least some years minimum), basically this more recent release is the result of richard's initial thoughts of remastering some of your old material.
So yeah that means maybe ???? Not sure, not a near release at least (the recent didgeridoo release was published by h&s, so i guess it doesn't count??? Anyway, an aphex twin release is a aphex twin release, can't complain about all the recent material released since blackbox + europe tour)
This track evokes the feeling you get after you've had a big shock and you're just trying to recover
More like a pain that’s slowly tearing you up instead of a shock
I often use the song Flim to meditate. It’s a dedication to my dear loved one who passed away last year. This song reminds me of the same vibe. Sad but very beautiful ❤ R.I.P. Love, we miss you so much.
🫂
THATS BEAUTIFUL
Rest in peace
1 ❤
Thank y’all ❤️❤️
This reminds me of the scenes in a movie when the person is reliving the moments of their life in a blurry cloud of memories. Makes me feel like I’m going to die in the next episode or something.
Like I put this on Spotify and turned on noise suppression on my headphones. I looked at the dogs in my back yard different, 2 German shepherds, they jumped around and looked at me so happily, then I walked inside to see my brother’s girlfriend holding their baby. It was almost cinematic to hear this and see this all. To look at the sunset outside. It was unexplainable, so sad and hard to listen to but it was ok in a weird peaceful way.
i thought i was the only one wtf
You have changed many lives, Aphex. Thank you for your music.
I remembered me 4 years ago literally raging because this song wasnt on spotify.
Today is a good day for richard fans.
I AINT NEVVA GONNA STOP LISTENING TO APHEX TWIN
Shoutout Big Willy!
SERIOUSLY WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT
I GOT A SWEET LITTLE DOG
Thanks fpr reminding me to watch yesterday's kill tony! Best show ever
As a lover of both RDJ and the Memphis strangler, these comments made my fkn day.
I wonder how many lives this one track has saved. Literally. How many people got through a rough one by just saying to themselves, I’m going to go home and listen to Stone In Focus on repeat until it passes.
An unexpected upload, but a welcome one.
Sheev you somehow returned
It is an old track sir but it checks out
Very much so!
Absolutely!
@@zawarudo6805 Creamy Sheev has been busy.
Only took 30 years… I can’t believe we can all finally enjoy this on streaming for the first time. I love the monkey, but this is certainly welcome.
Woww 30 years for real?
Stone in Focus is such a legendary track, it's a reminder to humanity
or #19 as its actually called
Literally the greatest ambient track that has ever been released in history
Debatable
Debatable but it's great
its great but there are a lot of far better ambient producers that are in another league
@@popokaka4763 How about naming them then?
@@Beos_Valrah for example listen to biospheres substrata or namlook air series and ambient gardener (just to name a few) then lets talk again.
this somehow reminds me that just over the horizon is our entire past and our entire future. just over there slightly out of view, every loved one passed, every memory, every thought no matter how insignificant, every emotion, every failure, every success, every imaginary place in a dream, it's all there and always will be. and we were there too... just yesterday. all that is there was born here. where everything happens, one moment at a time.
Whenever I hear this, the world stops, I begin thinking about my life and how I got to where I am. It's such a gorgeous track that puts everything in perspective.
STONE IN FOCUSSSSSSS YESSSS
This song makes me feel like a humongous weight has been lifted, and hard times have come to pass, leaving me with a newfound understanding of the world at large, and of life itself.
The vibrations in this track really calm the mind and soul, like it grabs a hold of the cells in my body. Such a simple melody, but set just right as it evolves slowly.
ive been saying this. the ambience
That ticking sound in the background is just so hypnotizing ❤ a true master of ambient music
THE GREATEST PRODUCER ON PLANET EARTH
Your mom is the greatest producer
@@NJ-wb1cz thanks, I’ll tell her
We need to send this music to the aliens to show them who we are.
Sometimes I wonder if he is actually from here.
Check out Madlib as well. That guy is awesome
One of the greatest, most beautiful tracks in all of ambient music, and honestly music as a whole
I was just thinking last night that this album is probably the greatest ambient record ever made. To me, it’s the gold standard.
Little personal but.
My grandma has been slowly passing away for a few days now
everyday is getting closer to the end and this song is exactly how I’ve been feeling,dread, somberness ,nostalgia I’ve been feeling a wave of emotions lately ranging from anxious to hopeful,idk who’s reading this but please cherish the moments you have with loved ones,everything that lives must die, be grateful for waking up and being able to drink, to eat, to laugh and cry
Engage in every moment and live with care
much love.Thank you.
I have always suffered from panic attacks and this song more than any other medication or soothing has always helped me. thx rich
Its a cold morning,still pretty dark,you are inside of an anorak.Big clouds come out of your mouth as you breath.
Contemplate the lights,they are bright,like extremely bright,so much that its the only thing you can remember of this moment.
A coworker introduced me to Aphex Twin in general, and Selected Ambient Works II in particular in 1998. It's been my favorite music album ever since and I still listen to it a few times a week every week.
Richard D. only needs 3 notes for a masterpiece. Happy 30y Anniversary. Timeless classic❤
Stone in Focus on streaming AND a SAW 2 expanded edition? What a beautiful start to the day.
STONE IN FOCUS has finally been released. the best ambient track ive ever heard in my life.
Selected Ambient Works Volume II Expanded Edition, available now on LP, CD, Cassette and digital formats - aphextwin.warp.net/
No way warped records comment
🫡 aye
I’ve met so many people along the way since Ive first heard this song, many I may never meet again, some I’ve lost along the way: but I look forward and smile knowing all of the people out there I have yet to meet.
Rest in Peace
Rest in Power
Rest in Stone
Rest in Focus

OH MY GOD!!!! Please accept my condolences! And to his family, as well as Greg's.
Too young... Way too young...
REST IN FOCUS!
We finally got a more official release for Stone in Focus hallelujah
what a great day! ,first ambient track i have ever listen to, it was on 2015, Thank you Richard.
Reminds me of spending summer nights on the deck with my best friends in my hometown, sharing stories and laughing while the sun sets over us. ❤❤
One of my all-time favorites. Perfect and truly blessed track.
Aphex Twin….
Man it’s been in my heart to make music as great as this ever since I heard his music. Obviously the deep grooves, and very chaotic breakbeat stuff is amazing but what always gets me is how he can make a 10 minute song that holds so much interest with only three chords. This is why I consider him truly the best musician in my life time, if not forever. To make a person shut off, breathe, and absorb with so little. Thanks for everything Richard
I never chilled the fuck down so much while doing the dishes. Thank you Richard, I love you.
I heard this for the first time today.
Listening to it for the third time now.
It's nice to find something to connect with.
i'm not pregnant. i look it, though. this track takes me back to those post-club days when clubs had to close at 2AM, we'd all trek back to someone's place and drop some acid, and listen to this album. and this song, every time it came on, made all of us look at each other and smile and nod, and yeah. if you know, you know.
Hits my feels everytime
❤
I needed this today. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, RDJ, for all the sounds you've brought to my life and others over the decades.
Hell yeah
Still don't know how just 3 notes repeated for 10 minutes can be this beautiful, but this song is magical. It's so relaxing. It always chills me when I'm stressed, depressed, angry etc etc. This song sends me to the outer space. It feels like it was sent from heaven, from an angel named Richard David James. If there's really a place called heaven, I want this song to be the theme music for there(or maybe Rhubarb but imo this song is more heavenly). And you can't even imagine how happy I was when I saw this song on Spotify. This is one of the best musical pieces of all time. Thank you for this song, Richard D. James! Lots of love!
Wow what a unexpected gift. I've had this in my spotify local files for a while now, but an official release for Aphex Twin's very best ambient track means a lot 🎉
Yes! Had this as a ripped MP3 for quite a while.
@@GreatGizmo74 I don't support piracy too often but in that moment it was necessary lol
@@TheFHPodcast Fair enough. Just had no other way of listening to it! and now there is.
Music archaeologists uncovered this pre-smartphone piece of music and made it available for smartphones.
It really puts technology in perspective, the way they put silicone stone in focus to make the chips.
thank you RDJ for allowing this to be released again on vinyl :) A lot of happy fans today
talking to her again, it's been a long time since the last time. life is crazy. we don't stop talking for something special. life is like that. our path always thought it would bring us together and it does. i remember when i was talking to her i would put this masterpiece on loop imagining what we could be in the future,
digging deep into the thought that brings you this sound. just how beautiful life is.
the unadulterated level of serotonin i gained from learning that Stone in Focus is now officially streaming...
this is perfect evidence that music doesn’t need to be complicated to evoke such strong emotions. this 10 minute masterpiece is 3 chords and that’s about it but the amount of feelings this brings out is incredible.
When you arrive way too late, but are best dressed.
We are so back!
un'armonia semplicemente ultraterrena,che rasenta la perfezione celeste,qualcosa che trasporta l'anima fuori dal corpo e l'avvolge con la sua luce meravigliosa......................
Aphex Twin: releases track
Internet: This is monkey-in-a-hotspring song now
Countless hours of this on repeat over the years. It's like coming home. Thank you.

>Get out of school
>See no one
>Last man on Earth
this song left me speechless, unbelievable and puts you in such a peaceful state of mind
If there was a music in the waiting lobby before life, this would definitely be it
I’ve waited 30 years for this! I’m feeling a little emotional!😊
Thank YOU!!!!!!! One of the most enduring and beautiful songs ever created.
For 30 years this song has remained a part of my regular playlist which is saying a lot since I consume a vast diet of music and genres.
Blessed are the music makers
What immense enjoyment for my ears ✨
Thankfully I already had bought this track off the Warp Store page, but it's a very welcome surprise to see this on streaming services soon.
Nice blunt and sit watching the sunset over the Grand Canyon that’s my dream.
Finally.. this song saved my life in so many ways. Very happy to finally see it come to streaming. Thank u Richard
Yall have no clue how much we wanted this ;~;
This came at a time in my life where I very much needed it, as I'm sure is the same for so many others. Thank you, Richard
what a beautiful track, truly transending. Music is amazing
Sincerely thank you Aphex Twin. Perhaps it's calling..has been listening to selected ambient works again recently
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICHARD ❤🎉

Afraid of monsters brought me here... man, i am losing it over how good aphex twins tracks are.
words cannot describe how much this song means to me, genuinely.
eu lembro, náo faz muito tempo;
é tão bom olhar pra trás e pensar: "cacete, eu era feliz"
de um forma isso também te da uma energia pra continuar a fazer esses momentos.
a gente nunca sabe quando vão ser os momentos que vão ficar guardados no nosso coração, aproveite a vida
(se em algum lugar haja um fã de aphex twin brasileiro, sim, não é só você que teve que fingir que era americano só pra conversar sobre esse cara).
We got an announcement for Metroid Prime 4, AND we got an official release of Stone in Focus for streaming platforms.
This day feels like a dream.
Between these and the re-releases from Orbital....what a time to be alive.
Brings back memories of 1998💚💚💚
This sooooo calm it feels like my breathe like my body idk how to explain
THE SOUND OF HEAVEN....GOD BLESS YOU,RICHARD!!!!!!!!!
I was driving the car alone back to my city while listening to this song at about 16:00. I felt like I was flying. Great news that this song is streaming. Hopefully Richard maybe will release a third ambient album and this song will be included. Love for you all!
This is what it sounds like, to have the biggest smile on your face and be bawling tears of pure joy and love
Thank you, this is the only thing that allowed me to cry after feeling numb for such a long time. Thank you for this gift.
Welcome to earth Richard
This song has helped me fall asleep at night so many times. I’m forever grateful 🛌
The definition of a perfect song
This fellow has defined my musical journey. He was there are the start. He is here now. He’ll be there long into the future.
ive been waiting years for this to get an official release omg
Best track ever. I keep coming back to it. Aphex Twin is the best❤
WHAT A TREAT ON THIS FINE TUESDAY
Hearing this without the crustiness of GoldSrc or older uploads is one hell of an experience, awesome music as always
