I'm 48 n' still twatting my neighbours heads in, with this LEGEND OF I. D. M MUSIC. Untouchable. CLASSIC. And just off the back of SAW 85/92, WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? ?
Aphex Twin on this live: "They used my soundcheck audio for this footage because their actual gig audio was distorted, they got the soundcheck audio off the desk, you can see its not really in sync. The soundcheck was not live, just me putting fx on over DAT playback. Ive still got a good copy of the actual gig recorded on DAT which I should upload at some point if and when I get onto the gig files. Oh and my fuckin monitor died halfway through the first track, was mostly off the studio 440 though.."
FilziSH I was sure that it was out of sync and was waiting to find a comment about this! He's clearly doing something but you can't hear any change to the audio either
Massive respect to the late great John Peel for bringing Richard into the public eye 👁🗨, back in the 92' BBC radio peel sessions. Classics. The day I got outta jail November 92' I bought selected ambient works 85/92 and it changed my life for music.
It's so interesting that you didn't say "...it changed my life for [the better]" but rather, "for music." - as a musician I feel that somehow. Yours was my favourite 'I used to listen to this when' story I've seen. Short and bittersweet. Thanks and may you be blessed. I'm currently learning to appreciate this artist!
Almost every label wanted to sign him when they heard his demos, respect to John Peel but he was going places anyway. Renaat who owns R & S said that he instantly thought he’d found the techno Jimi Hendrix.
Actually, he brought extra stuff to throw bitters off. This was probably around that time. I'm pretty sure he's dummying with one hand while using the other. I wonder how he was feeling about that camera peering over his shoulder.
Enrique Gustavo Fernandez i dont think we were ahead of time, i rather think today times are very much backwards and dont follow up to where they should and could be. of course, not all have stopped and regressed, but you wont see them on mainstream tv, like mcm or mtv was in those days.
Enrique Gustavo Fernandez Most of Richard's music is still way ahead of its time. I doubt this music will sound ''generic'' or ''obsolete'' in 50 years.
+Enrique Gustavo Fernandez At this time I was only 2 years old, and I started listeting to electronic music with The Prodigy and stuff like that. Well, several years ago I found WARP records and I finally realized that it's my favourite type of music (mind-blowing). And yeah, it sounds so futuristic even now that I want to be at that party so badly, but, It's impossible :)
+Danny Kornovan I was 14 at the time and I went and bought of much of random techno cd's without even hearing them. Years later I realized the one I liked the most, the one called Polygon Window, was also AFX. That blew my mind that all that time I had no idea who it was.
for 93, this was extremely high quality. Not sure the frenchmen realized the level of talent they witnessed that day. The stage dude sure did. Either way, awesome video!
French too ! In 90's in France hardcore music just arrive in club (and partys with 23 Spirals of course) in 94. 1993 is 1 year before, RDJ still the best for me
@@maxiqums1549 that's where it started, well a bit before that actually, but around that time it pretty much ended as well as filter house took over in France.
@@NoName-no1sg sorry, but the french have never been synonymous with techno, barring a few outliers from the FNAC camp or Motorbass. The tekno scene is big in France, but this is a Brit thing (Spiral Tribe).
The thing about Aphex twin that I loved more than anything was how he can really make anything sound computerized, like it really came from a computer, but he could also make something sound so atmospheric it sounds like something that came from another planet, or dimension, or like something from heaven, very very few artists I can name ever got close to what Richard could create, I think a lot of that came from his ability to truly let his mind wonder, and listen to things, observe things, almost a sort of meditation, which tbh, I feel is really the heart of a true artist. Him and Brian eno were truly some of the best electronic music artists to ever walk the earth.
I could've shot up a lethal dosage of MDMA+Ketamine at this show and I would've died a happy man. Where the fuck was I when was 1, I should've been there.
That track at 9mins is on his unnamed album, I got it, just a blank CD with a sticker on box. About 10 tracks, classic aphex. Some of his stuff is unreal, he can get right into my brain.
I want his Monica on my gravestone because he's been in my life for 40 years. Not one week goes by without playing random tracks from some back catalogue. Love you AFX.
Saw him in Belfast around this time. Spoke to the dancer before he was due on stage and he was really lovely. It was some rave with Aphex and Spiral Tribe, if I remember correctly.
aphex twin etait est et sera toujours un artiste en avance sur son temps aphew twin was , is , and will be forever a great artist ahead of his time ! j’espère sincèrement qu'il revienne a dour x)
Lovely to see he is playing with this little plastic Boss mixer BX-8. He still uses it in production, its mentioned on the Syro gear list. Love this little thing, have it, still works great, sounds awesome when overloaded and its a cutie and its cheap.
wow !!! 1993 i was then only 12 years old ! It was an amazing change for music industry , you and few others were the creators of new order in music industry . Total respect and admire !
I saw a live aphex twin set around this time in Club Industria , Glasgow. Was the mutt's nuts, tiny club and Richard, with the same gear as here probably, sipping on a bottle of coke.
Cant believe my hears !! afx live and back in 93, the begginins of techno, detroit etc.. Richard u r the real music maker, doing music even with vaccum cleaners dude !! ...blasting
I was about 10 years old when I first heard windowlicker on flylo fm while playing GTA and INSTANTLY fell in love. Absolutely love aphex and I will only continue to be inspired by his music.
Richard just mentioned that the audio for this is from the soundcheck earlier that night (which was prerecorded songs with new FX overtop of them). The actual live audio is a much better performance (possibly a worse RECORDING though).
wha...huh? wait a second, there are no instruments! he's pushing buttons and pulling levers..but he's making music! Amazing! i've never seen anything like it!
Richard writed about SAYMTGO being composed in 94 on the ICBYD... back cover, but this live actually has the final version of the track! which makes sense to me as I consider that track an out-take from the noisy Xylem Tube EP.
3:11 a damn trains engine driving uphill and now aphex is putting an extra amount of coal in it for the engine , the train never stops it drives and drives and drives!! I love such anecdots or stories to tell beside the track to my self or sometimes friends, of course in shorter words, specially when it sounds like a huge machine a train, a steel factory a car engine , lots of energy and plenty of people enjoy it! it s like we are all so focused in our factory and everone loves the work
I've been a MASSIVE FAN for well over the time it takes light to travel 27 light years, AND NOW AT 2:52 all I hear is DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP DEEP
@@gepmrk it was purely a midi sequencer it had no audio capability at all, but purely as a sequencer a 4mb 1040STE was a good machine, still is i’m sure. Does everything a midi sequrncer needs too. More quality electronic records written on that than on any other format i think it ruled from the late 80s until maybe 94.
Lots of DJs hide behind screens or 'tarps' - it is because they are actually doing very little and don't want anyone to notice. Most just play pre-recorded.created set lists, then pretend to be creating music by turning a few EQ knobs and volume sliders and taking their hedphones off now and then. Hiding, also allows them to relax more and not keep pretending all the time. I was a music researcher for PRS for ten years and met 100s of DJs.
The man looks like a mad scientist trying to develop the best music to ever hit these youngsters eardrums.

madness from out of space but i like both
