it feels like he’s able to just create the exact sound he wants at will

[@johnprater3981]

I know what you mean. When you listen to it the sounds work together almost too perfectly.

[@JamesVytas]

Yes but it’s exploration and discovery as opposed to conceptualisation. There are endless tracks that he made which didn’t quite work. But in that exploration he develops an intuition and style of his own. It’s just a matter of knowing what you like and choosing the most interesting and unique bits.

[@awllypollyas8292]

@@JamesVytas that's really superb, for almost all of the pandemic, my exploration route hasn't been treaded on in a while. I was trying to constantly think of "a great concept" all the while my skills iin whatever I would have wanted to produce were immature anyways so this was a great confirmation comment to find, Thank you! Have a great day, I'll keep on exploring!

[@DaftPunkFan43v3r]

This track is one of the reasons why Aphex Twin is truly unique. Nobody has explored rhythm and melodies like him.. this track has like 5 completely different melodic sections that still sound cohesive between each other and all of them sound rich, playful and emotive along with his signature complex drum programming.. no one else can craft something like this and I really mean it. For me his knowledge in melody composition is truly unparalelled (and I listen to a lot of genres and music eras), not to mention his knowledge of rhythm..no one else has explored rhythm and melodies like him (every single track of him has different rhythm section/s).. the crazy thing is he has been doing it since the mid 80's. He was the first one pushing machines to their extreme capabilities in the early/mid 90's and then everyone else came after.

[@DaftPunkFan43v3r]

@@imagist. I know there are a lot of artists doing what I said and thanks for the recommendations. But most of them (if not all) where inspired mostly by Aphex Twin's experimentation methods with rhythm and melody and he has been doing this for almost 40 years (since 1985). Credit where credit is due. Probably nobody before him was experimenting with rhythms and drum machines like he did in his early days. There's a track of him called Taking Control where he uses around 12 or even more drum machines just to make the rhythm section of the intro. Music is not a competition but there are things this man has done that are almost imposible to replicate. His attention to detail in every single area of music composition is up there with a very few contemporaries of him (Squarepusher, Boards Of Canada and Wisp just to name a few) and even all of them were inspired by Aphex Twin or he had a huge impact on their sound approach.

[@sting5956]

His basslines stand out hard as hell even through straight noise

[@anatta467]

analog is a beautiful thing

[@blueskiesjazz]

It's actually lies in his choice of sounds. He does use EQs and stuff, but, if you look at his interviews, he basically programs one track on a bunch of equipment, records it and then doesn't really care about mixing after that. He never goes back and re-mixes the work. It just goes off the mastering press afterward... probably 10 years down the line when the guy finally feels like releasing the material, that is.

[@sicfilms]

Elvis was merely a vessel through which the music industry transitioned into its modern form of reappropriating raw creativity and boiling it down into an easy to digest lowest common denominator. Elvis had talent the way contestants on modern "who's got talent" TV shows do. Whereas RDJ is unfathomably creative, when you look at his body of work, how he achieved it, and also how he dealt with the music business, you get the sense you are a mortal trying to contemplate how a god works. It's absolutely incredible. I feel this way about a few artists, Radiohead for example... Anyway I get what you're saying I just think Elvis gets a lot more credit than he deserves, to me he's the "face" of the white man taking music from other cultures, bottling it, and selling it.

+RENEGADE ANDROiD It's not a song. It's a track. Songs have lyrics.

[@vento182]

It's lyrics made of sounds :)

[@TheBloggme]

you're correct but your comment wasn't neccesary.

[@rufuspage6210]

I saw this perfomed live in 2012 in Sydney. I searched for ages to what track it was, only until it was released from the soundcloud dump did i recognise it. I've got a small clip on my channel if anyone wants to hear it.

[@MrFrussel]

I love the ending in particular. Quite beautiful.

[@ermite9370]

I’ve listening this song in a full bad trips on schrooms and it change My mood for real, thats the magic of this man, its not just music to me, its something so private and special that when you understand it, it’s like it keep talkin to you in a very special way. The lesson I get from him every Time is do what YOU watt to do and make what you watt to make in art, thats when the « thing » happen for real and touch so many people. (Sorry for My english Im French ;)

[@tirelipoinpom5561]

This makes me feel alive. There is no word for that. Ty Nina

[@Soopi419]

[@elainerosefelder4986]

beautiful help getting away from the past. thank you so much.

[@MrWeazlebee]

I've listened to this song so many times. I fucking love Aphex man he fits my life

[@eastendthug]

One of a handful of tracks from the recent soundcloud dump that are single/album worthy. Goes to show the true talent of RDJ.

[@RKTologist]

my two favorite things about afx are the memorable lead melodys and constantly contrasting with last section rhythym sections

[@bEan-cf7mx]

people ask why he didnt release this sooner, but i believe this song is probably pretty personal to him. it literally sounds like pure vulnerability

[@alphalax7747]

He just didnt like the outro
