Of all the gifts and talents Richard has, I find it extraordinary that he can write basslines that sound cooler than Another One Bites The Dust on a regular basis.
The best thing about Richard is that you can be a fan for years and then run into a trak like this or one from the Tuss and be like "oh good god who is this" and then be like oh wait, it's just more RDJ RDJ 4 eva
RDJ is like the Bach of electronic music. Amazingly technical yet full of emotion. Influential to basically everyone in the field. Will probably remain a high water mark for centuries.
You can copy every sound AFX can make, you can buy all of his equipment, you can install all of his software but nobody will ever have his musical power.
@@freak0n182 Own it all then; be in possession of every instrument that makes it possible to make such meaningful music, we would still be missing the most meaningful thing of all, Richard. D. James himself.
lost count of the number of 'this is my fav' or 'best in the analord series' or 'surely one of the best' comments. fact is poeple they're all so bloody brilliant it's just hard to comprehend another one of his songs being as good....until you hear another one, and another one.... one of the finest musicinas ever i reckon.
The reason I have an Aphex tattoo on my arm is to remind me of two things. One is that Aphex has inspired me to create my own music and two is because it's the most thought provoking music I've ever listened to. I know it's cliche, but his music changed my life, especially the Analord Compilations. I'd give anything to dance my brains out to this stuff live.
Just listened the first time this track. It was played on NTS radio show. I couldn’t see the artist, but after a couple of seconds i was sure it could only be Aphex. Shazam gave me the confirmation. But let’s be honest, who else can make a track like this. It could only be the one ❤
If you have much money go buy some pilot speakers ,the cd line,its German quality and listen electronic music.they are worth every penny.i have the cd401 and i dont need a Subwoofer.a hidden gem
what in the world is this energy in his music? its pieces like cilonen fenix funk and vordhosbn that just let me suspend all dissbelief and wander into unknown brain territory, RICHARD D = James Yancey
I think it would be a pretty boring one in the end. It's not a big rock star life, I think he's really mostly just in his head, and if he's not making music it's probably something simple like taking a nice walk. I don't think there is a big secret that a film or book could unravel. Even an interview book would be strange and still distant. Probably the same with Autechre and Squarepusher, they all seem like reclusive and private people who just go 100% for the music and listening to the music already brings us much closer to their minds than any book or film could.
Richard is known for his hatred of Interviews and his overall nature of keeping his own life private, so I doubt he would be interested something like that
Its just the way the melodies are composed, how everything is so perfectly placed. It makes you think, correction, it makes you know that he envisions this rather than just writes it. its incredible. its genuinely incredible how everything is placed, every note, every pitch, every pan(or bubblepan for that matter) is just absolutely horrifically futuristic. jesus fuck tho
i love that part too, it feels like the melody in the background "fakes" its sound somehow, so the first few listens I actually got it wrong. This song is stuck in my head
When I'm at work in the shop for some reason I always have this or mydoom running through my head til it drives me nuts, but then I'm here again an hour before work listening to it. My brain hurts but I can't help it. Can you OD on AFX?
Well it is just sound. When you think about it. Failure to see more isn't a fault. I imagine alot of people think it's just noise, but even my three year old daughter loves certain aphex twin tracks and calls it music.
Just ignore konjunktion, it's better for everyone. He's a composer, but he doesn't understand music, he just wants to be popular. A true victim of this age.
please... only a handful of people ever heard him in the 80s. Just because he was making music then doesn't mean there was exposure. If you were actually in some cornwall dumpster party in the 80s hearing RDJ live then you're a hardcore fan and the rest of the world is noobs only hearing him really in the early 90s. Thank NIN for the US exposure. Have a coke and a smile
I only know about Richard and his music from nine inch nails although I probaly would have found him by looking up idm but still thanks nine inch nails for sending me down the idn and acid rabbit hole

RDJ 4 eva
So true.
I LIVE AND BREATH APHEX
***** u re so right =)
+Jonathan Morse follows you throughtout your entire "musical awakening"
Jonathan Morse so true my guy
just when you think his train of thought was complete he'll add another sound that becomes necessary
well said sir
This is very well put
Wise words
So true man!
ur mum is necessary
RDJ is like the Bach of electronic music. Amazingly technical yet full of emotion. Influential to basically everyone in the field. Will probably remain a high water mark for centuries.
his music is actually quite Baroque now that i think of it
Centuries indeed. Most likely a millennia.
How about forever?
And they both acted as consultants/experts helping craftsmen build their respective instruments (Organ for Bach and Synths for RDJ)
i feel so strong when i listen to this..mentally and physically
exactly!
Its incredible
More power to you homie

@@Ignirium yeah no, it was a joke bud.
it is an honor to have this song ruin my auditory system.
I´m always amazed at how full and layered his tracks are, yet it is never too full... that´s really difficult to achieve.
His talent is on a level that cant be put into words!
well put.
that what happens when you add the *right* sounds
lost count of the number of 'this is my fav' or 'best in the analord series' or 'surely one of the best' comments.
fact is poeple they're all so bloody brilliant it's just hard to comprehend another one of his songs being as good....until you hear another one, and another one....
one of the finest musicinas ever i reckon.
.....i just cant describe...this is why i love richards music
still can't get over how good this track is.
This is what being Cornish does to you
Definitely.
When that nervous arp comes in I just feel the rush he puts behind his music, the beats; ..compliment the mood to the note
This track renders me utterly catatonic.

this is a great song for learning to program sequencers
Something like almost 10 years later this is still my favorite Analord track. I used to walk to this all the time, maybe I will again.
aphex is years ahead.when man and machine become one this is how pop music going to be

One of my favorites from the Analord series.
LISTEN TO THIS WHILE INTOXICATED
If you have much money go buy some pilot speakers ,the cd line,its German quality and listen electronic music.they are worth every penny.i have the cd401 and i dont need a Subwoofer.a hidden gem
2022... and this track is still in my drunken brain! Hell yeah
what in the world is this energy in his music? its pieces like cilonen fenix funk and vordhosbn that just let me suspend all dissbelief and wander into unknown brain territory, RICHARD D = James Yancey
Always loved his AFX stuff cause of the synth programming. Always felt more raw and analog
This makes me feel so .. Different. I love it. It alters my emotions and the way I interpret things. Amazing music.
ahhhh, I remember a 13 years old me just laying on the bed listening to this, then lisbon acid, pwsteal.ldpinch, where's your girlfriend and so on
Terminal3d exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg same here bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111111111111
+herropreasesankyou That makes life worth it.
at first it seemed confusing
I remember doing the same, just being older and while on LSD 😎😎😎
You were lucky. I knew nothing of Richard till 10th grade
One of his bests
Love this especially when that Synth builds up from 0.44 Awesome Track right there.
Richard is the best IDM artist
I know it would be very hard.. but why no book or movie about this man. He is one of the greatest musicians who ever lived.

Do you know what mate, your right there. We should get something together to portray this unique artist, human. I love him musically
Lol
the music is the thing
richard d james he is one on a kind! .his music is timeless..x
i love afx
I love the creepy melody and harmony.
pure genuis
Pure Genetails
For anyone confused, AFX is one of the many, many, many, many pseudonyms of Richard D. James commonly known as Aphex Twin.
Its just the way the melodies are composed, how everything is so perfectly placed. It makes you think, correction, it makes you know that he envisions this rather than just writes it.
its incredible. its genuinely incredible how everything is placed, every note, every pitch, every pan(or bubblepan for that matter) is just absolutely horrifically futuristic.
jesus fuck tho
its controlled chaos, you would be foolish to think everything is exactly deliberately placed
You know,
If i didn't know him enough, I would totally agree with you.
Aphex Twin is literally future music. There is a good reason nobody even tries to remix his stuff, they can't deal with the complexity.
SimplyHaffar very true
Bubblepan?
he's the mozart of our era
outstanding
i wish the part at 1:07 could continue forever
i love that part too, it feels like the melody in the background "fakes" its sound somehow, so the first few listens I actually got it wrong. This song is stuck in my head
my personal favorite
My absolute favorite song upon listening to it the second time
This is my favourite track of all tracks I've ever heard. It has everything I love about electronic music. (Marry me Richard!)
hi, im up for grabs if you want. closest you'll get (I reckon)
@@SimplyHaffar Yes, but do you own Daimler Ferret Mark 3 armoured car?
@@Isera Oh wow didn't expect you to still be active 13 years later. lol. I don't :( would a ferrari suffice? up for grabs still.
@@SimplyHaffar well...If you like cilonen as much as I do, I guess I'd agree on a ferrari :/
@@Isera alright its a date. and i do (all of analords really)
Golden oldie, long live the twin
una de mis favoritas de AFX
My favorite from the Analord series.
What a pretty song -- thanks for uploading!
This track goes mega hard :)
Best AFX's song, for me.
Perfect.
Superrrrrrr afx -cilonen.......
peace from germany ;-9
i want to live in a future where my kids will learn about RDJ and the homework is cilonen
Hi
When I'm at work in the shop for some reason I always have this or mydoom running through my head til it drives me nuts, but then I'm here again an hour before work listening to it. My brain hurts but I can't help it. Can you OD on AFX?
no, you most certainly can not!
Nope, but not listening to enough can be lethal
not possible
every time ... i listen to this track.. and and just woow
Always something broken in me when i Heard that❤
This will always be the future.
this sound make me so good this guy is a genius :p
best of the best song
Great tune... happy to be the owner on vinyl
@withapencil exactly! It sounds like those old games... doom, rise of the triad, blood... good times with my first pentium
i love this sound
Yeah, my friend thinks this is just sound. I fucking love RDJ. Genius...
AFX is King!
definitely!
Great! This track Can end or start my Aphex experience.
god i love the aphex twin :)
awesome
Richard is laughing at you ALL.
i like this song very tripy when high, makes you think... good for just jaming out to.
if appliances became self aware, this is the song they would sing while they broke out of the warehouse to run amuck
This ! should have been on the voyager disc to send it in the interstellar space -
almost everyday
love this song!
massive track!
LSD
hope u grow up kid
@@d.hadrian7529 hope you realize the potential for physcdelics as catalysts for personal growth and exploration of the universe dad ✌
I named my toribash character after this song
Well it is just sound. When you think about it. Failure to see more isn't a fault. I imagine alot of people think it's just noise, but even my three year old daughter loves certain aphex twin tracks and calls it music.
hope she's doing well now that she's 10 :)
popo, popom. popo, popom. popo, popom. popopopopopopom.
Good point.
an EMP would wipe out the magnetized tapes too genius
Thanks twice
@spartancid ..... no one comes even close to him... and the world will be poore for it when he passes on
Just ignore konjunktion, it's better for everyone. He's a composer, but he doesn't understand music, he just wants to be popular. A true victim of this age.
The star sounds like something from the game plague inc.
epic²!!
Richard, if you see these comments... PLEASE RELEASE SOMETHING!!!
MrAphex117 he did 👍😎
And he just announced another collaboration!
Action 🌊
Archive on tapes before the massive solar flare or EMP. Save it. ;-)
Wish they made more tunes like this one
yeah ill give them a call and let them know.
The Aphex Twins lol
Just great 🤓
always trippin balls to this song lol
BoneInThaHouse fucking high as shit listening to this lmao
@Pinoles P2 weed
Don't understand this music. But who cares? It's incredibly amazing.
i love the analord serie
Real shit out here
Oh fuck, this is so good!
Good thing for a trip
:)
please... only a handful of people ever heard him in the 80s. Just because he was making music then doesn't mean there was exposure. If you were actually in some cornwall dumpster party in the 80s hearing RDJ live then you're a hardcore fan and the rest of the world is noobs only hearing him really in the early 90s.
