Aphex Twin

[Neil]

Known about them for ages, only really started getting into them when I heard Ventolin today, and that was industrial-tastic

Anyone like?

[a320]

they r ok, but i really hate that windowlicker video :rolleyes:

[Miss Blee]

Come to Daddy is really good.

[Sid]

they are great to use if you have a really messed up piece of footage [im a media and film student] and yo uwant some crazy ass disturbing music to play over the top really loud. makes the scene even more intense :D :D :D

[Anexine]

They ?.. It's one guy ..Richard James..

[Neil]

They ?.. It's one guy ..Richard James..

Yeah.

It's just a habit of mine, basically Nine inch nails is one person, but I refer to them as 'they' all the time though

[Thessi]

...i care because you do, that is such an album. ooeh alberto balsalm. listen to come to daddy right after that, now there's a slight difference. both rock though. :D

[theimpressiveclergyman]

They did that Windowlicker video with all the dancers with the same bearded face... Bloody horrible. *shudders*

[Palo Alto]

Probably now one of my favourite artists, he is a fucking genius. The drum loops and samples are out of this world. Sheer quality.

I can't see it. And surely that's not his real face. Nature couldn't be that cruel. :eek:

[amityrae]

The double album which is called Selected Ambient Works (Vol 2, i think), is so lovely and sometimes really unsettling. Of course, I like Come To Daddy and Windowlicker but havent heard anything else.

[Palo Alto]

Cliffs is my favourite. So relaxing. That girls voice is so good.

It's one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen.

euugh

But music wise, not bad at all.

[MrGlitch]

In my humble opinion I think Aphex Twin should remix Muse.

I've always loved Aphex for his own original sound, Come to Daddy, Donkey Rhubarb, IZ US, et al, the dark nasty, toy soldiers coming to life kinda sound which can easily be transposed onto any horror movie, or Clive Barker Book.

But I just bought '26 mixes for cash' (Slack I know, considering how long it's been out), and well slap my arse and call me Mary, Aphex Twins remixes are some of the best fucking sounds I've ever heard!

His remix of 'David Bowie - Heroes' has now taken it's place in my top 10 songs, I didn't think anything could improve on the original but it did (for me).

So, now I reckon we should let Aphex Twin get his hands on some select Muse tracks, Small Print maybe? Or HyperMusic... or even Citizen Erased.

I want to hear what Aphex Twin can do with one of the best bands to ever come out of England.

The post is about remixing Muse....

That link your great search result goes to is just some bloke saying he likes Aphex because he heard one of his songs...

... what is there not enough space left on the boards for two posts with the name Aphex in their titles??

What about the 1,000's of posters who post innane shit like "I love Muse!" or "I think Muse are great" do you direct them to use the search function aswell??

Rules schumles... Old threads die and end up on page 314, while the newer (and in most cases more interesting) threads stay in view until people get sick of them... There's no rules my friend, but simply the circle of life...

Haven't you seen the Lion King :rolleyes:

.......

MrGlitch makes a decent point... This thread is actually uses an original idea for once, unlike so many other crappy threads out there...

Hmm, a bit more on topic, I agree that Aphex should remix a Muse song... It would be very ... interesting ...

I would also like to see Trent Reznor remix a Muse song... He did a great job remix Freak On A Leash (Korn) and Judith (A Perfect Circle) ... Hmm *ponders* :happy:

Oh dear god no. Those two should not be mixed.

But he did do a great job on Judith. And Killing Joke's Democracy.

[Stu]

Got the "drukqs" double album from the library
not really my cup of tea what I've heard thus far, but maybe this is a bad album to be introduced to Aphex Twin with

Only other Aphex Twin I've heard was the stuff off those "Salad Fingers" cartoons :LOL:

[blip]

man...
their fuckin disturbing.
especially the videos :stunned:

drukqs is fucking awesome, one of my favourite albums of all time. check out AFX's 'Selected Ambient Works Vol II', its his best. most amazing chill out stuff.

I just ordered Ambient Works II from amazon, hope its good. :)

[Josh]

Haha, I love Windowlicker & Come to Daddy.

Excellence.

[5h0r7y]

come to daddy, wasn that an x rated video or something

[Josh]

So you watched that program on channel 4 then...

... Yes it was. it's not that bad though...

[5h0r7y]

Yeah i did, refresh my memory what was the video

[Josh]

Dwarves with the face of the Aphex Twin bloke, who were running around with a TV with the distorted vision of his face (in my avatar) & then the monster thingy screaming at the old lady at the end of the video.

I only just watched it in full last night.

[5h0r7y]

oh yeah, thats the worst one ever wasnt it apparently :LOL:

[Josh]

Don't know... I haven't seen the others...

Boards of Canada stuff is used on Salad Fingers, GUH EVERYONE KNOWS THAT..

Well to be fair I only realised after I had the album, but I knew it wasn't Aphex Twin :cool:

[NEP]

Neil you whore, stop listening to rubbish

[BlackoutMatt]

AFX has been used on Salad Fingers once or twice, I'm sure...


anyway.

'Flim' is so perfect...it makes me cry...people need this track in their lives...it's on the 'Come To Daddy' EP, for people who don't know...

[Humphrey Goldenbollocks]

I always liked Come to Daddy and Windowlicker, but not the rest. Now I'm starting to like them a bit more. Hmmm. :happy:

[Enemy]

they r ok, but i really hate that windowlicker video :rolleyes:

Bloody hell, that is one disturbing video

[Puppetmaster]

This man is a genius. Surfing on Sine Waves, Richard D. James Album and Selected Ambient Works 85-92 are some of the best electronic albums ever made. They just don't get boring.

[christoph]

you heard '26 Remixes for Cash' ?

the album is amazing, but the story about how it was made is really funny. was just reading up on him, and there is this old rumour that he used to live on the roundabout in Elephant & Castle in london, i walk on that most days. where on earth he was supposed to be living i don't know

[pubicmage]

Haven't heard that one yet, but I'll definitely check it out. I've only ever heard him remixing his own material, which is always quite interesting. The 'Little Lord Faulteroy' mix of Come To Daddy is extremely strange, and it sounds absolutely nothing like the original, but it's really good.

I love his unique drum programming style, especially on Richard D. James and the Come To Daddy EP. The snare sound is incredibly cool.

The videos are pretty pwny. :yesey:

Yay. Chris Cunningham is the best music video director ever.

[Jackplug]

Not them, him.
Not twins, twin.

[montgomery]

Jynwythek Ylow is an amazing composition.

The 'Little Lord Faulteroy' mix of Come To Daddy is extremely strange, and it sounds absolutely nothing like the original, but it's really good.it's a really amazing album. basically, he was approached to do 26 remixes, and instead of actually listening to them he just created songs with the song titles which sounded nothing like the originals. don't know if he pissed off a lot of people, but it did eventually get released

[AFX Twiiin!]

I LOVE Aphex Twin!:D

[pubicmage]

I prefer Venetian Snares when it comes to 'IDM' but I Aphex is still amazing. Bucephalus Bouncing Ball is my favourite track.

Has anyone read his interviews?
The're hillarious

[ScarredEyes]

Has anyone read his interviews?
The're hillarious
I read one regarding Stockhausen being sent some of Aphex Twin's work and criticising it for it's lack of structure or something, and the reply that he gave was that Stockhausen should jazz up his music a bit, put a dance beat into it, and go out drinking with him and his mates.

"The tracks have very bizarre titles, what do they mean?
kwrejgwekrjhwegkwegrkwerjbg

Have you worked with anyone else on this album?
Yeah,at the beginning of 1997 I adopted 3 goats on my farm in scotland and taught them how to write music,I upgraded one of the goats at the end of 98'with a hoof mod and its fucking serious man/woman.

Are there going to be any more collaborations with yourself and Chris Cunningham?
Well I think chris is too skinny at the moment and I cant bear working with skeletons so ,he has to put on a considerable amount of weight on first"
:LOL:

[nuttyboy]

My mate sent me a link to Rubber Johnny yesterday.

Yeah, that was kinda scary!

I found it interesting though! It was quite cool how they'd made it. I watched loads of other videos after that aswell.

They're really weird!
