Aphex Twin - 4 (HQ)

[@ZeugmaP]

The way the song is structured is incredible. It's actually one pattern that starts with a major, happy feeling and gradually becomes more melancholic and sad, until the "Richard ! -Yep ?" part. It's like he is thinking about something, maybe his life and the nostalgia is growing as he goes deeper into his memory, until someone calls him and he snaps out of his daydream.

[@IndustryStandard2004]

Couldn’t have said it any better

[@Mrbeastshow]

You awesome man! Take care!

[@rotmgdabeatz]

And the 1:15 part ooooough

[@animanoir]

That´s a really cool interpretation.

[@HipHopHooligans87]

It is also polymetric Aphex Twin is a genius

@@luttman23 what a funny albeit quite smug way to agree with me

[@Cxadadze15]

Q: ‘Is it good??’ A: ‘YEP’

[@NapoleonPicard]

I think it may be saying ‘Richard?’ ‘Yep’ too

[@PJemus]

this type of music always makes me feel very gloomy, in a nostalgical type of way. i love it.

+Aimee Frost This was the most beautiful and depressing comment I have ever read. I want to frame it.

[@bigafricanhat5073]

+Aimee Frost its kind of philosophically weak to assume that today is bad because people complain. people always complain. but good statement.

12 years later this is still fantastic. I love the track too.

Reminds me of simpler times, and the comforting feeling of boredom that has to be filled and replaced with creativity. I can't wait for more moments like that. :)

You can definitely hear the influence Aphex has on David's music. Would be awesome to hear a Locust Toybox /AFX collab.

[@snuppssynthchannel]

And also on C418 (Daniel Rosenfeld)

Love a bit of Locust Toybox. Firth just produces brilliance in everything he touches.

[@Vectif]

So many memories when I was first discovering IDM, fiddling around with music, riding my BMX, going out with friends to the park, relaxing, and delving into this whole music scene - all while listening to things like this, it's sure changed my life ever since I first heard it. Listening to it always brings me back, and I know for sure it's marked a point in my life. A point I am not going to leave anytime soon :)

[@Broxine]

How many years ago was that? 1990?

[@Vectif]

@@Broxine I'm a younger guy, I got into all this pretty recently! Say 2017-2018. :)

[@andreaholcock8992]

This is really gorgeous footage

[@Hulloder]

I always thought of this video as the official music video for this song

[@WannaTradePants]

Nice video, David. One of my favorite tracks from Aphex Twin--must've missed this one back in the day. I like the timing of everything, and how even the "Richard. Yeah?" part was worked in.

[@TimTam60]

I just discovered that David Firth himself made this… awesome!

[@coolranch_dorites]

The slowed down SMB3 music at the end was my favorite part.

[@midinerd]

I don't think it's slowed down. Was it always there, though? Double-checked, you're right. it was classically shifted down so its slower and lower in pitch. It is the song of the "King" in SMB3. cheers + muchlove

I liked this one better than the other one. But I enjoyed them both, Good job David, I'm glad to see you work with Aphex Twin.

[@hotelmario510]

incredible visual representation of this song

[@Snozcumbers]

Bro this song and video got me into Aphex Twin. There is something quintessentially British with lashings of nostalgia about the vid and music. A real slice of life for me, thanks for still having it up dude.

[@thanatosgarvey3701]

Same. Funny thing is, I had seen Rubber Johnny and Come to Daddy in middle school, but had forgotten the Aphex Twin part. I remember thinking Rubber Johnny was a real cryptid-like video.

[@abbieortiz4505]

"dad! stop makin that big face!"

[@Robards18]

without the "dad!" though :P

[@jak4004]

I love this, so peacefully complicated. Seems like it was very hard hard work to make something so chill. Oxymoronic if ever. The many layers level well with me.

[@ShareGoodies]

according to interviews i heard richard could play some violin well enough to sample it so i think this track has acoustic samples of him playing it

[@corneliuspaulson1230]

Come back to this always like a favorite blanket.

[@chaosDEJhead]

That was awesome! Loved the kings theme (SMW3) at the end when ya'll were smashin up stuff.

[@Screeno1993]

This reminds me of simpler times, when I was more innocent and carefree, all I cared about was fucking about with my mates, going to the local pub , smoking weed out in the woods now and again, overall just being without a care in the world having fun for the sake of it. :) Living in a British town may have something to do with this because the imagery is very reminiscent of the surroundings I grew up in xD

[@MrGreatunwashed]

It's a mint song and it fits the video so well. It's filmed in Doncaster where I grew up and am of a similar age to DF. Always gets me this video/song combo
