Using the Chinese pentatonic scale and calling the track “Chink 101” is somehow not the most crazy thing he’s done

[@sweetwheatsy]

Drums/percussion throughout this track is incredible. Also love how the whole piece is practically one big buildup, finally being released when the SINGLE bar of 4/4 kick comes through, and then back to the slow fade-out. So good

the drums in this track are extremely good and they sound interesting

This song reminds me of being in a random city in Japan, in the night, without people around me... just peace...

[@graficandorealidades7561]

This guy's so talented that he has N and C word pass. Incredible musician

[@elysian778]

LOL

[@SweatKick]

When did he drop tha N BOMB wtf

[@Amitkumar-zr5qz]

Too bad I can't find this on spotify prolly coz of c-word.

[@Mr.A..]

@@Amitkumar-zr5qz it was released on soundcloud only

[@redorchidee137]

I imagine it was created and then saved under some edgy name while he was dicking around on his personal equipment. Then when he uploaded it to soundcloud the names just stayed as they were probably.

"Clissold" is now a separate genre of atmospheric electronic music in the pentatonic scale.

This sounds more futuristic than anything else in the world.

[@svorke]

The melody and synths used on this track are absolutely phenomenal not to mention the catchy percussion, 10/10 weird song title but I love it

[@XCllUSiiVE]

favorite track out of new user487 tracks - reminds me almost of the song On & On or donkey rhubarb almost - very dope easily top track!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHOUT OUT!!

[@mwatkins0590]

+XCllUSiiVE pretty sure it has blue calx in the background.

[@sweetwheatsy]

Amen. This is such a proper throwback to his earliest tracks, and it perfectly blends harmonious melody and interessting percussion. I also enjoy how the track is almost one big buildup, and when it is released and the 4/4-beat comes, it only lasts for 4 tacts. Just brilliant.

[@rsc8295]

I bet he used the black notes only

[@joshk2181]

did a p good job then

[@user-eh8bc2ux3y]

He used the Chinese pentatonic scale

nothing wrong with a bit of racism. Erm.

[@edgeofvision]

The melody is so 'oriental' it's obvious that's not what he was going for. He changed the track name for a reason

[@adexterwolfe]

Or a dent in metal

[@aryamansingh7105]

"chink in the armor" is one among many other non-racist usages of the word. Come on bro

[@artpinsof5836]

Aphex most likely has Aspergers. He also is well known to have a very childish, troll-ish sense of humor. I don’t think he intended to hurt anyone’s feelings, I also think this title was only intended for private use, not an official final release (and it has been since changed). It is a racist title made by a brilliant musician who’s sense of humor is a bit at odds with society.

[@exazebra]

@@artpinsof5836 Or maybe you're just being stupid and overthinking a word that has many meanings?
