Aphex Twin - Rhubarb Orc. 19.53 Rev (Official Audio)

[@kevinvinson3669]

❤❤ Liner notes from new remaster of SAW II: “Rhubarb notes: My mum gave me so much love, dedicated her life to me, filled me to the brim with confidence and somehow managed to be a nurse at the same time. That love she gave can now be felt by millions of people all over the world and beyond through this music. “Thanks for everything Lorna James! “I watched both my mum and dad die in front of me recently, was so very grateful to have been able to be with them then, as scary as it was to see. She was cracking jokes hours before she left, even though she was in a lot of pain, she told the awkward doctor on the last day, 'I should be shot, put down', she was very funny. I opened the lovely french doors to the room she was in on the last morning, it was sunny and she said, 'ah that beautiful Champagne air', will remember that til I die. “I still meet them in my dreams regularly and have relaxing normal chats about nothing in particular, I'm going to see if all three of us can listen to this track next time we meet up. “Richard D. James, June 2024”

I think we've always felt the love from his music, but the words mean a lot 🥲

Track was made in 2011 when teaming up with Penderecki symphonia . Rest in peace, Penderecki !

[@BartekSt90]

I must google it fast. Thanks for info.

[@dolcik271]

Wow I didn't know that. That's really cool that two legends collaborated.

[@depto125]

Wasnt that occasion when he collaborated with Jonny Greenwood as well?

[@jareknowak8712]

​@@depto125 Yes Sir! Summer of 2011, Greenwood was there also. Whole event inspired by Penderecki's "Polymorphia". Poland, Wrocław, near me! I remember reading articles about it, and i just cant believe that it was so long ago!!

[@QKvox]

Thats why it sounds so good, thank you, Penderecki is a master, I’m glad he lives on through this and his spirit further through Jonny Greenwood (metaphorically of course)

[@werewolf39]

Aphex Twin is one of the only artists I know who can make music that is so calm and peaceful while also having music that will tickle your nerve-endings.

Richard could've just made Rhubarb and I'd have been happy but honestly, all of his ambient compositions are some of the most beautiful pieces I've heard and they got me through some shit.

[@somebubonicdisease9847]

Richard was Like hold up lemme get the angels from heaven to help me with this track

[@JeggFilms]

Even when you play it in reverse, it's still in reverse.

[@YourPanorama]

Palindromic?

[@alexandrosanchez6501]

what?

[@AlabasterFilth]

But it's not in reverse before you play it in reverse. Checkmate.

[@TheYannickOne]

reverse means backwards, played forward. which makes it backwards again, even when played forward.

[@krysidian]

I still vaguely remember that old youtube video of this song. Finding it, reading all the comments people left, was like rediscovering Rhubarb all over again. No matter what version, that raw sense of longing, melancholy and simply love can always be felt and for decades that never changed. I'm so grateful I'm able to hear music that moves me like that. Thanks for sharing your music and emotions with us, Richard. I hope your parents rest in peace.

[@powerlinemisfortune]

This is absolutely divine and beautiful. I can't stop listening to it. Pure bliss.

[@Hypnotically_Caucasian]

“Hey Ricard what are we gonna name this new song?” “Rhubarb” “Again?” “Yes.”

listen to it in reverse ;)

[@Rhubarborc]

its the orchestral version

[@mariusd7803]

The path to enlightenment is challenging. You'll feel much pain along the way. This is impermanent and will not last forever. After the dark night of the soul always comes the dawn light of the awakening. If you choose to take this path, there is no turning back. Keep going fellow travellers, we are all on our own journey back to our true selves and oneness with everything. RDJ is here to guide us. God bless you Richard. 7\

[@jdgonzo1982]

i wish we could listen to this song backwards on youtube...something tells me it'd be worth it. i really love the reversed, cut off bass notes that pop in and out...if that even makes sense to anyone!

[@wornoutwizard5033]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJTceYqVbZWBfrssi=Ge1rXmOhU41ClYO5 here it is!

[@ISplimeI]

This makes me wonder why Aphex has so many songs named after Rhubarb. XD In all seriousness, this is beautiful.

[@darkdemigod]

in England it's slang for mumbo jumbo, bologna, or idle chatter

[@nektarios5291]

​@@darkdemigod never heard that once in my life and I grew up in Bristol and spent years in London as well...

[@BurgermanForever-nh2vp]

From Wikipedia: "The precise origin of culinary rhubarb is unknown. The species Rheum rhabarbarum (syn. R. undulatum) and R. rhaponticum were grown in Europe before the 18th century and used for medicinal purposes. By the early 18th century, these two species and a possible hybrid of unknown origin, R. × hybridum, were grown as vegetable crops in England and Scandinavia. They readily hybridize, and culinary rhubarb was developed by selecting open-pollinated seed, so its precise origin is almost impossible to determine.[3] In appearance, samples of culinary rhubarb vary on a continuum between R. rhaponticum and R. rhabarbarum. However, modern rhubarb cultivars are tetraploids with 2n = 44, in contrast to 2n = 22 for the wild species. Although rhubarb is a vegetable, it is often put to the same culinary uses as fruits.[5] The leaf stalks can be used raw, when they have a crisp texture (similar to celery, although it is in a different family), but are most commonly cooked with sugar and used in pies, crumbles and other desserts. They have a strong, tart taste. Many cultivars have been developed for human consumption, most of which are recognised as Rheum × hybridum by the Royal Horticultural Society." Neat.

This track randomly popped out from my random mix playlist while I was sleeping. I was in a middle of a dream, but the melody was so catchy that myself had to wake myself up from the dream and wake up to see what the track was. It was Aphex Twin.
