I think they'll say that it's complete garbage and made by wicked magic or something. If they somehow love it then the majority of songs would be like this in the present
@@uhuju1 And also the fact that he is reversing it is very interesting. If you listen up until 1:14 the higher notes are more slow and calming and the lower bass notes more fast paced and chaotic. But after about 1:20 the higher notes are the fast paced sounds and the bass notes are the slower paced and calmer sounds.
This song and album are so far ahead of the times. Hard to believe that they are 20 years old now and still advanced. This is why Aphex Twin will always be the Jimi Hendrix of electronic music.
Y'all ever try and make an Electronic song? Especially considering this was made in 2001. This is a fucking masterpiece of complexity. It's absolutely mind-boggling.
From a music theory standpoint, that feeling comes not only from the tone and timbre of the bass note, but most importantly the fact that the actual note being played isn’t the tonic note of the scale, or what most people would hear as “home”. Instead, Richard gives us a minor 6th the entire time, prolonging that sense of need for resolution and leaving you hanging in the air, waiting for that “home” note
I've spent most of my life in small towns. Seeing this footage is equally fascinating and terrifying to me. So many people, all hidden in giant towers and vehicles.
Lol but you just called me something that many people would take offense to? Don't be a hypocrite. You're both obviously trolling. But it's nothing to get upset about because it's harmless trolling.
I started writing idm already hearing windowlicker in gta 5, then a friend told me that I was writing in dance idm. And then I heard the selected Ambient Works album.
Aphex Twin, also known as England's Richard James, was once a bushranger of all turpitude and disharmony, and he made records, particularly 1993's gorgeous Selected Ambient Works 85-92, that ceded the course of electronic music. With Drukqs, James delivers his most cadaverous noise of all: a double CD, thirty-track fabric of absolutely sycophant song titles, gratuitously weird sounds surfeited with a misdemeanor. Among the fans of IDM, or Intelligent Dance Music, as this sort of musical obloquy is lamentably labeled like he hadn't gotten some shuteye, rumor has it that James slowly coagulated this record with bedamned outtakes that have been esculenting up space on his hard drive for years, then released the album as a deal-breaker with his label, Warp. Or perhaps the explanation for the rambunctious incoherence of the termagant album lies in its quaggy, unfunny clepe. Either way, he should have never done Drukqs, because his new noise mostly just sounds brobdingnagian and like a obstreperous subterfuge.
Still remember that guy saying he won't listen to electronic music cause it transports no emotions... Show me anything else in the world of music that defines the spot when melancholia turns into anger just as this song does. Thanks Richard, keep on going forever, you saved so many souls.
plasma white gold, holly shit, this song is like a White Dwarf Star, cooling down, yet billion years away to actually completely extinguish, master piece gotta say, in love of this song since 2007
Every time I think about this music, I automatically think about this video, and a comment here that says something like "this video makes me realize that we live in the future". The audiovisual production of this, man, it's so beautiful. Makes me feel something weird, a good but very weird feeling about everything. It's just beautiful. Vordhosbn is certainly one of my favourite songs of all. Aphex Twin is such a genius.
his genius is staggering sometimes, like i wonder how lonely it must get to be that far on top of almost everyone else. his mind has to be like one in a billion or less, it goes so far beyond me and yet i can't stop listening.

This song reminds me of driving on the highway. The cars, lines and barriers go by almost chaotically as you zoom past them, like the percussion of the song. But the trees off in the distance seem to just float peacefully by, like the background of this song. Its awesome man. RDJ is truly a master.
I went to the Fishmans LONG SEASON TOUR 2023 and I had to take the line from Shimbashi to Odaiba. Sat on the same spot this guy is sitting. Listened to this and DAYDREAM by Fishmans. One of the most cathartic moments of my life
Can you imagine yourself working as a metro driver and watch that trip all day long? No one in your way, just the cars alongside stuck in a traffic jam while you can run freely and happily?? Come on, now I'm seriously considering myself to work as a metro driver! And if allowed, listening to this kind of music while doing so.
Sometimes you find a song so unreal you can’t help but wonder “how did you do it? how did you make something like this so good?” This is one of those tunes.
You can, actually. The Yurikamome Line is fully automated, so there's no driver's compartment. The seats go right up to the front and back windows. I think it's a film school requirement that you have to shoot footage of it if you ever come to Tokyo..
@Jean-Marc Rocher thank god i went to tokyo and did a sunset shoooting of the Yurikamome line. It happen to be amazing footage. If i manage to complete the video soon i will poste it also.
Yes. The video starts at the Shimbashi station terminal, goes along the waterfront and over Rainbow Bridge into Odaiba, and ends at Telecom Center station.
The part crossing the Rainbow Bridge is spectacular (about 02:25 - 02:40), but I also love the circuit of Odaiba. The island is *so* bizarre and completely detached from reality; as if some immense star-child was playing with mismatched toy building blocks.
This is footage of the Yurikamome, an automated people-mover that runs on elevated concrete bridges with rubber tyres. The footage starts at Shimbashi station at one end of the line, and ends when the train pulls in at the Telecom Center station. Wikipedia has a good article going over the details of the Yurikamome itself, and its' history.

They were awesome thanks for the suggestions! I'll suggest "Drakengard 1 ♬ Full OST" (9th chapter onwards i usually listen to) i still have not heard anything like it.
It sounds so dark and hopeless. It reminds me of being addicted to cocaine or any drug in general. Its intense from beginning to end and it makes you feel like things are getting worse. This song is really good
I've listened to this track countless times, certainly in the hundreds since it first came out, and to this day I've never heard anything that comes close to this level of rhythmic complexity. I've always said, when trying to introduce people to this track, that Vordhosbn more resembles the intricate fluidity of a spoken language than it does traditional music. Nothing will ever compare.
This exact video was randomly recommended to me by the algorithm about a year ago and sent me down a rabbit hole of discovering Aphex Twin. I’m now a huge fan of his music. So glad this video found me.
What mad science did he do to make this almost 2 decade old track to be made to sound like it was made in 2030, the drum patterns and the clean bass riffs and everything else just going off, you’d expect it would sound like a hot mess, yet you can hear it so clearly and clean. This song should be preserved for years to come, i cannot fathom on how intriguing this song is
postmodern classical music if you really need to label all this shit. I don't see why we don't just make music and let it stand on its own, rather than having to classify it constantly.
This track reminds me that no matter what goes on in life good and bad, life keeps going forwards. It why I fell in love with dnb music. It’s my go to drug when I need get focused again lol

It also sounds exactly like where Charli xcx takes her inspiration from, she uses a bass noise like that in so many of her songs now

Instead, Richard gives us a minor 6th the entire time, prolonging that sense of need for resolution and leaving you hanging in the air, waiting for that “home” note

Isn't Drill and Bass a subgenre to Drum and Bass?
postmodern classical music if you really need to label all this shit. I don't see why we don't just make music and let it stand on its own, rather than having to classify it constantly.
Without classifications, you can't find similar music. Everything falls into some manner of classification.

The horns that come in at 3:51 might be the greatest sound in any song ever
