[@keenh1075]

Dad was so patient waiting for some bars lol

[@PS-lv1mr]

lol

[@pablomartinez5043]

Now it’s time for Boards of canada!

[@KatrinaKingsOfLeon]

Or Nosaj Thing!

[@cooluser7310]

100%

[@FrankBurgos]

some Sasha - Airdrawndagger or KOZE

[@PS-lv1mr]

BOC is next in the aphex twin pipeline lol

[@Darrenski]

I'll let you into a very well kept secret. RDJ IS BoC, with some front guys pressing a play button.

[@LuDel95]

Your Dad is a very pure soul. You two are a lovely pair. Thanks for the great videos.

[@drumttocs8]

If I ever have kids, I want them to trust me with this kind of emotionally vulnerable music

[@snizzol]

This song is so epic ! feels like you found a new place, hard to explane.

[@philfoe551]

I like how you don’t necessarily follow reviewer trends. It could be the new Carti one day, old Nas the next, and some wildcard Cocteau Twins or Aphex Twin. And everything you get into, I see surface songs and deeper ones as well. Keep being the most versatile reaction group.🎉 Dad always is sharp with the analysis but Kai is the boss of this operation.

[@VIMaggotVIBrainzVI]

For real, dropping some AFX for Dad was a good change of pace. If they do any others from this album, it should be one of the darker ones, like #10 (Tree) or the last track (Matchsticks)

[@Dextrous]

Amazing choice and really insightful reaction! Would love to see more Aphex Twin, whether it's more ambient works like this or the more constructed/arranged tracks that range from beautiful and melancholic, to downright disturbing!

[@0Linerider0forever0]

Appreciate you being quiet and not interrupting much and encouraging dad to do the same. It deserves reverence.

[@maskevito]

I love that you guys did Aphex twin!!!

[@thedirtybubble2983]

A reaction to #20/Lichen from the same album would be great too! My personal favorite

[@Joe-zd8ok]

Very Underrated

[@avonlave]

Liked your guys' thoughts on it. It is very contemplative (I typed that just as you said it allows you to contemplate). For me it stirs up feelings that words fail to fully express, but basically "life is utterly bizarre and confusing and bittersweet...but everything will be ok, try to relax and enjoy it and appreciate the love surrounding you before it's all over". Utterly fascinating how a piece without lyrics can stir up similar thoughts and emotions in so many disparate people huh.

[@RockyVegaTV]

OMG #3 is my favorite song by Aphex Twin. Great choice! Give dad some Prodigy next if you haven't already!

[@RockyVegaTV]

Sorry ONE of my favorite songs. You HAVE to play Xtal for him. THAT'S my real #1.

[@Ferdii615]

@@RockyVegaTVstone in focus 🔛🔝

[@hrieg]

Stoked for this one!

[@balorrohiel]

Loved this! I've been listening to Aphex Twin since I was a kid. It would be really cool if you showed your father "4" from Richard D. James Album, it's my favorite tracks of his.

[@hrieg]

If you guys are looking for more ambient music I’d totally recommend Chihei Hatakeyama. Beautiful sounds.

[@kairubynini]

thank you for the recommendation! just added them to playlist ❤

[@MakiriWorld]

Need more Aphex Twin, an entire album would be sick

[@ijustneedmyself]

Dad needs to listen to some Brian Eno 😊

[@TrustInTheUniverse]

Very pleasantly surprised with this reaction, Im a huge electronic music fan. Stone in Focus is my favorite one from this album. "Carbon Based Lifeforms" is another great artist similar to this style.

[@PaulAlexThornton]

Ok your Dad is wearing a Tupac tee (already checked those reactions a while ago) and now listening to Aphex Twin. Excellent artist choices.

[@nickeimorty487]

Amazing album!!

[@3grave]

DAMN YEAHH!!!! I'M GLAD SUCH VIDEO EXISTS!!!

[@zurrizurzur]

listening to ur dad describe his imaginary view of the song actually gave me shivers. keep up the great work.

[@maskevito]

Please show some music video's of aphex twin to your dad! Like 'windowlicker' or 'Come to daddy'

[@vredeling]

Cool unexpected choice guys! edit: now I'd like to see dad respond to Windowlicker. Or even better Chris Pennie do Come to Daddy with not a single bar the same drums. Insane.

[@IlIllIlIIlIII]

thank you for this, i love aphex twin. i recently watched your mos def video where you guys mentioned busta rhymes and a tribe. i would love it if you could react to one of their songs or albums!

[@frontroom]

❤️

[@Digital-Phenom]

it feels like in the 90s on the weekends..

[@XLVIIXLVII]

Great video. Love watching you guys. I just have a suggestion for an 'Ambient' song you and your pops might want to check out. "Radio Right Now" by Felix Laband. Along with "#3" by Aphex Twin and something from Boards Of Canada such as "In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country", I'd consider it one of the greatest 'Ambient' songs ever made. It's incredible.

[@peterbawright]

Hey, firstly thanks for the awesome videos you put out, it’s great to see a different take on the music reaction genre. Few suggestions to explore: - Tupac: Do for love or It Ain’t Easy - Logic: Open Mic/ Aquarius iii - Wycliffe Jean: Gone Till November - Goo Goo Dolls: Iris

[@PureEM1]

Very much in the Trip-Hop space. If interested check out Moth Equals (Border, Heavens Opened and Closed, Honey Trap). Just an absolute master. Great review!

[@nodnoc]

More electronic ambient please! Carbon Based Lifeforms - "Frog" would be a good one

[@MM-jc7uv]

Love the ambient reactions, you don’t see many of them on KZbin. I recommend Tim Hecker

[@petmeiamirish]

Get him to react to one of his later drill n’ bass tracks 😁

[@lopan5644]

Gotta play some of that Aphex Acid from Drukqs next! ‘Mt Saint Michel + Saint Michaels Mount’

[@headeraser]

#13 #24 from the same album would be epic Or Mt Saint Michel + Saint Michaels Mount from druqs. That one is insane

[@IamJustTheBiscuityOfTheSeaity]

You should both also listen to Sekonda by Aphex Twin, its a bonus track added to the warp store for ...I Care Because You Do, and its available only on KZbin and the Warp Store and other random places

[@chaosmos24]

One of his best tracks and it didn't show up until he released the soundcloud trove. Musical genius.

[@Neumah]

I've also always gotten death from this song. It's profoundly sad in a way I've never heard in any other song. In a strange way it's one of the greatest songs ever made imo.

[@vhufeosqap]

I’d be interested to see his reaction to QKThor/Penty Harmonium.

[@TrevorClarke]

You should do Windowlicker next, with the video

[@ezemdiakalonu9990]

So real for not cutting during the reaction.

[@frontroom]

✌

[@Monica-nv2em]

the dj screw poster goes hard

[@funderground81]

Phenomenal album! This track is also unofficially titled "Rhubarb". Would love you both to react to track #1 ("Cliffs").

[@TheJerbol]

It's crazy that Aphex Twin is an ambient innovator considering how well he's known for breakbeat and other songs

[@Safal..]

It would be so great to watch dad react to DESPERADO OUTLAWS -till my casket drops by C-BO

[@justacommenter]

Avril 21st and Alberto Balsam would be cool

[@rorocio93]

I would be laughing too showing songs from Aphex to someone. I'm used to them, experimental and ambient music, because is my favorite genre, but I know you need pacience to listen to them, and we live in a world where living calmly and patiently is really difficult for people. This video made me realize that I would have a gift from the Universe if I could listen this type of music with someone who can feel it like I do.

[@wlbralx]

Now you gotta react to Hollow Be Thy Squad since Xavier sampled this lol

[@MFewwy]

Aphex twin is a legend :)

[@whyhellotherestranger]

I listened to them a lot in college. Aphex Twin is awesome but not nearly as awesome as pops in a Pac shirt

[@zurrizurzur]

watch KOYAANISQATSI with ur dad bro. its a similarly existential experience to this. philip glass composed the soundtrack for it as well

[@JayBiggsGamingYT]

You guys should do ‘Blessings - Lecrae ft. Ty Dolla Sign’

[@finosborne1665]

saw Aphex Twin at Warehouse project manchester. Class act, though i would take 'garry's'

[@TrustInTheUniverse]

Also check out: Steve Roach - Structures from Silence

[@BlodoRnZ]

Krobak - It's Snowing Like It's the End of the World or April Rain - One Is Glad to Be of Service :)

[@richardgiles5608]

You should really listen to Alberto Balsam by Aphex Twin!

[@kyle2beats]

The cover is suitcase with his logo on it

[@amouurjass]

react to deeper by Boss ! I feel like y’all would really enjoy the song and the message behind it !! other suggestions: thug luv tupac and bone thugs, TLC no scrubs video, jodeci come and talk to me, tupac so many tears

[@27Finbarr]

Yeah maybe the next track should showcase his other side…something hard and heavy. Many Digeridoo or a track of his Xylem Tube EP from 1992.

[@S-jq1yk]

React to the Disintegration Loops 🤣

[@jun1orBr451l]

kruder & Dorfmeister - K&D Sessions

[@zakstephenson4545]

is this a kill tony reference?

[@safari8447]

Omg im suprise ur dad hasn't heard of aphex twin when aphex twin was like around his time i think

[@deaconbluesful]

Burial - Untrue ?

[@fgjtygjkk]

RDJ is a Monolote in Electronic Music , unique and timeless artist ! Peace !

[@daftpunker6335]

u guys now free. ty

[@nolimitleeke4477]

Song reaction Recommendations, I haven't seen Polo G on the channel yet and I'm curious to see if pops would like his style of music his album Die A Legend is one of my favorite albums. Polo G - Last strike Polo G - BST Polo G - Wishing For a Hero Polo G - 21 Polo G - Many Men Polo G - Dying Breed Polo G - Finer Things

[@strykestroke5704]

Please do some Boards of Canada

[@AlbertQuibits]

Ageispolis next please :)

[@willgreer7525]

your dad seems cool as shit

[@AravindNair-gq7fj]

Greatest artist of all time

[@Astroboy_91x]

Pops is about to fall asleep 😂 sht so am i to be honest

[@PS-lv1mr]

L

[@nataliee5236]

Alberto Balsam!!

[@jayashr]

Hell yes

[@dillis666]

are they Canadian??

[@_ben_miller]

wait till he hears drukqs

[@Darrenski]

I recommend autechre as well. Used to work in the building game around the Manchester area with them decades ago. They thought we all considered them to be either gay or weird. To me they were just two guys making a living.

[@alexmalex82]

I mean, you HAVE to watchbthe Come to Daddy video. Lol but if this song tickles your fancy, do check out INNER-CITY LIFE BY GOLDIE.

[@thenino941]

Eminem - role model reaction such a good song sure your dad will like it

[@zurrizurzur]

show him mt saint michel next, total opposite of this, while not being the extreme of aphex twins' works

[@KjartanBjrkvold]

Perfect for a day on mushrooms

[@HelloTimemachine]

T shirt from dad. 🫡🫡👍✅

[@KatrinaKingsOfLeon]

Please do avril 14 on April 14th ✨

[@Zerobytexai]

See how your dad reacts to Current Value lol

[@chavosandchelas7936]

Clicked on this video because of William Montgomery 😅

[@thebastblastofficial]

I'm surprised you haven't shown Harry Mack's Omegle Bars yet. Otherwise, his last song "I Ain't Gotta Worry". Like your reactions.

[@passwordprotectedd]

bon iver reaction :))

[@IamJustTheBiscuityOfTheSeaity]

Aphex Twin actually sampled Pink Floyd before in a song simply called Pink Floyd, however he apparently doesnt really care for them all that much, and Aphex Twin has also worked with Philip Glass before

[@aMbEr0953]

can you guys react to HI REN?

[@CJLopez-]

Get your dad to listen to DMX - slippin 🤍

[@mishausyk4620]

Looking forward to your reactions to Busta Rhymes or MF DOOM! :)

[@peterbawright]

MF Doom 💪

[@baebae80]

Can u have Dad listen to Floetry "Say Yes"/"Getting Late" or Marsha Ambrosius "Your Hands" or "Far Away". Or Alicia Keys "Like you'll never see me again" pleaseeeeee..😁

[@Youdontknowwhat]

Please do Flying Lotus You’re Dead!

[@thankyougohome8860]

please do xtal by aphex twin

[@Jettatura-yn8ss]

I thought this song was named Rhubarb?

[@PS-lv1mr]

that’s the unofficial name

[@IamJustTheBiscuityOfTheSeaity]

​@@PS-lv1mrIt kind of is because on his SoundCloud he uploaded the orchestrated version of it under the name Rhubarb

[@itsberzerk9279]

U need to introduce him to bladee

[@abmodder16]

If y'all want to react to some wild shit then watch the Come to Daddy video of his. That's some real heavy Jungle vibes and absolutely bat shit visuals. Completely opposite from Rhubarb (#3).

[@pannenkoekspek]

Do some Atari teenage riot

[@nicolab1981]

Never been first before 😊😊

[@user-ud1uk8nh9o]

Jacob collier djesse vol 4 please🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@BlodoRnZ]

esse est percipi

[@Aquafre5h]

It's a very weird choice of track to show from AFX considering his usual IDM style and chaotic breaks. Show him some violent beats next time.

[@frontroom]

Most of his most popular tracks are Ambient though?
