[@spweb2]

@@Progenitus It doesn't really matter if it says "Derek" at the end of the video, there's so much distance between him and Aphex Twin fans that it's just weird and inappropriate to refer to him on first name terms like a member of your own family. It's levels beyond numpties calling Aphex "Richard", which is also ridiculous.

For someone who never knew the names of James' parents, that dedicated to Lorna and Derek just further contextualizes Lornaderek from Drukqs- it's a song named after his parents - that track is definitely a tear jerker- and the transition into QKthr- Aphex has always had a sentimentality around making music either featuring or dedicated to his family- it's so heart warming to know he's been paying musical respects to them for decades

I lost the love of my life Feb 11th this year. My sister passed may 17th. While the person I thought would be there forever and one I thought was stuck with me forever are both obviously significant losses and my parents aren't even a consolation prize, I can't imagine how much you must be impacted by this compounded loss and my heart goes out you and I appreciate sharing that, bc alone that can be hard and I hope you find peace. I've always felt the come to daddy ep was your finnegans Wake and there's a very personal "portrait of a young artist" nature to the entire idea behind it with mum dad the boy and etc the ball. It's a beautiful homage that sort of brings the significance of this track and the loss of both of them that is just overwhelmingly drawing me to express this sentiment and my appreciation for all of it you've shared with me through the world despite the fact I'm well aware that this is more than likely equal parts you would never read this in your read every one of them every time.

Even though I wasn't around for the early years, I felt like I was indoctrinated into his cult with Drukqs when I was 13 in 2002... innocent were my ears and mind then! This felt like a sonic and emotional compression of something that can only be described through the depth of this sound, the immaculate transmission of subtleties that impact on levels suggested visually here- which, if you have experienced him live, at least in recent times, you will know a physical component to this that cannot be replicated otherwise, which I feel is a certain kind of love that he extends to those who love him and his music. I wasn't quite sure why I had such an emotional reaction otherwise, then last moment hit and it made sense. No more words needed, just the presence of this sound, reverberating through atoms, ear drums, generations and eras...

@@angebruneel Some of redditors affirm that he broke up with his girlfriend few years ago. After he finished is 2019 tour. I don’t try to share fake news for likes. I’m not this kind of c***

[@iurolenga2543]

It is true that someone was performing live with him that was said to be his girlfriend / wife until around that time, but then again… Richard is know to leave bread crumbs in all directions but the real ones… it must be hard to deal with fame while at the same time caring so much for privacy.

Your music is a big inspiration, stay strong during these weird times richard. Wish you the best

[@bmlubins]

I was not prepared for the dedication. Amazing music, great video.

[@deletedaccount175]

I hope you're doing well man. Your albums were part of what put me into the right mindset, and I can't thank you enough for the experiences I've had. To Derek and Lorna, thank you for producing such an amazing and wonderful musician. They clearly imparted a deep understanding of life into you and gave you the support you needed. I respect them as much as I respect you. So I hope all is well, remember, life is just a rollercoaster, it has ups and downs and twists and turns, some people stay and some people get off early, it can seem scary and fun at times, but remember it is just a ride :)

Just visited some old ass record shops in Helsinki and spent 200 eur on some vinyls, among them 2 from Aphex Twin. Timeless

Love the weird little vocal parts towards the beginning and end. I anticipate them every time I listen to this track

[@craignelson3637]

I’m sure they would have loved this track as much as we all do ❤️ 7\

I lost my dad a few years back. These are the pains that stay with you. Through it all I’m thankful that I’ve got Richard’s music as a comfort whenever I need it.

[@MiraMistASMR]

This is close to the visuals i had in my head yesterday when listening to this song, that's so cool. Thank You for doing this and I'm so sorry for your loss.

[@MiraMistASMR]

there is really no soul out there that produces close to what u do. u are really an inspiration for my own production aswell and i listen to you before i start every producing session, inspiring and so free.

[@_XRMissie]

Absolutely unreal track. I am blown away at the intricacy of your visuals, and the track? Just indescribable. Maybe some day I'll reach your level of musical and audiovisual skill, but I probably won't. If that is not of any consolation, I am also sorry for your loss mate. I look forward to seeing how you push the boundaries of music ❤

RIP Lorna, didn't know she passed too ❤️ great track Richard...

[@chriswoolf1491]

I honestly don't know if Richard understands the deep science on how timbres and scales/chords/notes effect the human mind, but he definitely knows it on some sort of heightened level. It's easy to say that most music does this to some extent, but Richard has distilled it into a potent tincture that I gladly quaff. I do hope he eventually releases one of his caricatures of a "pop song" again one day. Window Licker and Come To Daddy were both masterpieces of him making fun of the trends of the time and I'd love to hear him do it for current ones.

[@francoestrubia6503]

I think he don't know anything since 90s.

[@grltvlive]

i quaffed too

[@Willickers]

Your music has brought me so much joy for over 20 years. Much love. Hope you find blue skies on green hillsides where you can watch the tide roll in like it always has forever.

[@alpaca_growing_kit]

Dear Richard. My deepest condolences. It is extremely hard to have to say goodbye to the people who brought you up in this world. No matter how young or old, it doesn't really matter. When you are a kid you are convinced that your parents are going to live forever. The idea of them dying is just not inside your head. Although you logically construct this idea slowly as you grow older you never really accept it as a part of your reality. This makes it so much harder to say goodbye. I hope you are well and that you are spending time with your family. Family and love is really all that matters in the end of it all. Thank you for a nice track.

[@mikepointfive]

The sorrow and mourning come through in the feels of this tune. So desolate yet beautiful. I'm sorry for your loss Richard. I too lost my dad in 2020. Rest in peace Derek and Lorna James.
