i was in Japan in 2019. I took the Yurikamome line to Odaiba from Shimbashi. When I realised it was the same line as the footage I saw in this video, I simply sat in amazement for the whole journey.

[@Guswal03]

@@uhuju1 And also the fact that he is reversing it is very interesting. If you listen up until 1:14 the higher notes are more slow and calming and the lower bass notes more fast paced and chaotic. But after about 1:20 the higher notes are the fast paced sounds and the bass notes are the slower paced and calmer sounds.

[@DillonStrichman]

That bass hit at 1:18 always gives me this visceral sense of scale, like something huge and incredible is about to happen.

[@Dumpsterfire95]

yes

[@cecesorrows]

It also sounds exactly like where Charli xcx takes her inspiration from, she uses a bass noise like that in so many of her songs now

[@jakevainio3943]

From a music theory standpoint, that feeling comes not only from the tone and timbre of the bass note, but most importantly the fact that the actual note being played isn’t the tonic note of the scale, or what most people would hear as “home”. Instead, Richard gives us a minor 6th the entire time, prolonging that sense of need for resolution and leaving you hanging in the air, waiting for that “home” note

[@dlrss1v274]

Aphex Twin, also known as England's Richard James, was once a bushranger of all turpitude and disharmony, and he made records, particularly 1993's gorgeous Selected Ambient Works 85-92, that ceded the course of electronic music. With Drukqs, James delivers his most cadaverous noise of all: a double CD, thirty-track fabric of absolutely sycophant song titles, gratuitously weird sounds surfeited with a misdemeanor. Among the fans of IDM, or Intelligent Dance Music, as this sort of musical obloquy is lamentably labeled like he hadn't gotten some shuteye, rumor has it that James slowly coagulated this record with bedamned outtakes that have been esculenting up space on his hard drive for years, then released the album as a deal-breaker with his label, Warp. Or perhaps the explanation for the rambunctious incoherence of the termagant album lies in its quaggy, unfunny clepe. Either way, he should have never done Drukqs, because his new noise mostly just sounds brobdingnagian and like a obstreperous subterfuge.

Mr.Pat woah, someone who listens to pilotredsun

[@MrPatters]

I'm pretty sure he knows, you can see an Aphex Twin poster in one of his tumblr posts: pilotredsun.tumblr.com/post/134908986431/thecovet-pilotredsun-me-workin

It sounds so dark and hopeless. It reminds me of being addicted to cocaine or any drug in general. Its intense from beginning to end and it makes you feel like things are getting worse. This song is really good

[@olseaweedbeardye8622]

1:34 This is literally the definition of “eargasmic”

[@_vae]

it also sounds like some one sent you a message on xbox360. just listen, trust me mr hyde enthusiast.

[@sundaysloth4559]

Oh you bottle of sauce!

[@ivanradev507]

​@@_vae YES

[@_vae]

@Ivan Radev im so happy some one else appreciated this comment. i was listening to this song yesterday, and all i could think about was this sound.

[@EvanG529]

triangle

[@kuszynier]

[@normalcore.]

Square!

[@Gr33kChief]

Not enough triangles

[@milesium-487]

[@WangleLine]

Triangle

I just started to discover Aphex Twin in 2021. Earlier I thought they are some metal group, like Anthrax.

[@cameronlingk2499]

How tf is this the first time I've heard this song. Wow

[@EmilyRose0]

No joke when I saw this the first time and it was 2018 I thought: "Thats amazing graphics for a vid that was released 2001. Until I realized this is Tokyo, its crazy how futuristic this city looks, it really has some Videogame feel to it. Song is amazing.

[@joeseppe1398]

A city populated in a small place and super dense. They are comunicating with each other super well and you can find anyone you search in a higher possibility. This is the reason of their success. This is the reason why tokyo is super expensive imo.

[@LukeLeonettiYouTube]

it sounds like something that would play on an [adult swim] bumper

[@mobster9966]

[adult swim]

[@VASSOUNDDESIGN]

Back in the 90s, MTV would have a lot of IDM from Squarepusher/Aphex in the bumpers!

[@leont7956]

underneath all the mad beats, there is a genuinely reflective and pensive song

[@Duncan_1971]

Incredibly inspired. Like nothing I've ever known.

[@BuDDaHStefaN]

Puh... That went deep... While watching this video I had incredible insights. Life is like the train ride. We are heading into a direction and people join the train ride. While others leave. We have the illusion that we can go onto different paths/tracks and while we do do, we think it's our decision. But it's not... The path is choosen the moment we join the train. No turning back... Only forward is possible. Also while on the ride we think at the end we get all the answers. So I was waiting for the end of the video to see what happens... Spoiler warning... Everything fades to Black and the sound slowly fades too... The End... no answers on why and how. I guess this is how it will be. And one thing is certain as night and day. We all will face it alone. Like we are born.

[@andreykutuzov8836]

Extreme respctful from Brazil! You're mind-blowing, dude.

[@hideyojimmies4840]

if i ever get to go to Japan again, im def listening to this song on the train

[@T69Jimbo]

This music sound like my mind, chaotic and fast with a sense of calm running through it

[@kosthazaiko9736]

2001 and still in the futur , Richard you are a ######g god

[@lachrimes]

The first time I saw this video, I thought that it was a 3D animation.

[@BelialDCCXI]

Какой же Ричард гений всё-таки, я никогда не перестану восхищаться им.

[@viktordatsenko4286]

Да! А этот трек мной вообще до дыр заслушан уже...

[@artursmith5435]

Он сверхчеловек, написать Polynomial C в 1992 году! когда вообще ничего подобного нет, и до сих пор этот трек звучит красиво и актуально. Он не то что гений, он уникум один на миллиард. Добиться успеха, не выходя практически из комнаты и будучи максимальным интровертом.

[@Duncan_1971]

Couldn't agree more! Не могу не согласиться!

[@Averroes-t5b]

東京で最も洗練された部分だけを映し出した映像　素晴らしい

[@icebergcxc]

electronic masterpiece

[@elainerosefelder4986]

its like the feeling when im in a crowd, and want to go home...

[@1eversince]

Still one of my favorite videos 8 years later

[@paperclipmaxx]

that feeling at 2:45 .. unreal

[@musicisthefoodofthesoul]

I came from"aphex twin meme -----..." video which include a bald teacher drawing perfect circle

[@stefancrapper3298]

The song just meshes so well with the video.

[@tonythrowaway3327]

drugs are bad but druqks is great!

[@noctissama3146]

+Do you even Rift as is kassadin :D

[@Nophera]

+Do you even Rift Drugs are great! but druqks are great!

[@molochz]

+Nophera Druqks on drugs is even better!

[@MrAphex117]

Think what you meant to say is "not all drugs are good ok, some are great".

[@shredderly]

I can do both, its fine.
