I played it in the middle of a breakbeat set at a party last summer (added a punchier kick and sped it up a little) and everyone lost their minds, such a stunning piece
Though I think Xtal is beautiful, I think it’s a song that still sounds like it’s from the 90s. It isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I just think it does actually sound like it was from its time, so I disagree with you on that
@Jessica Walrus omg first of all, I think you're awesome Jessica, you're like the world's biggest Aphex Twin fan, I recognize you from Richard's soundcloud comments. Part of it is that I didn't know a lot of those drums were sampled because they weren't famous ones like the Amen break or the Think break. But I was REALLY surprised at the pinball machine sample in Bucephalus Bouncing Ball, and also REALLY surprised that the end of Come to Daddy sampled another of Richard's tracks, because I love both songs and just never put it together. I know Squarepusher has done somethings like with sampling his own tracks, but I assumed a lot of this stuff was just clever use of synths and drum machines.
I hear you..People want to make it seem like some artists make all their own music,and as someone with multiple samplers,it's easy to just rip and make tracks.Now if you make an LP only from found sounds like Herbert,that's being a bit more creative...
Been listening to Aphex Twin’s music for over 15 years now and still getting surprised by his immaculate abilities as a producer . Never knew he sampled so much from early 70’s funk music and even Joni Mitchell… thanks for making this video
vordhosbn I can agree on, though I never quite understand why people praise xtal so much. Perhaps it is simply because I have never known a world pre-aphex twin and so therefore can only compare it to his later works. To me much of his early stuff has the hallmarks of someone with just a little bit of musical talent in his blood "feeling out the room". I believe that early on, the reason that the sound was so abstract was that richard himself did not understand quite what he was creating. For me his real genius is evident later on in the tracks that all-but conjure visuals before your eyes with the insane but still completely coherent rhythms and stutters of albums like Come to Daddy and then later drukqs.
@@j-b-l8147 Honestly to me it's like that in a sense I can relate to his songs. It's the feeling that you get from each one that are genuine which doesn't make me pick a favorite.
Awesome video and cool to see where the vocals for Xtal came from. Such a beautiful an emotional rollercoaster Xtal, probably one of my favourite Aphex tracks. Used to be my go to song when I was suffering from anxiety and depression years ago, the airy and big spacious sound just felt like the choas and negativity of my life at the time was flowing out into the air and I was left in a moment of solace, away from torment of the mind. Powerful stuff, it was like a spirtual awakening or being deep meditation, but instantly, crazy compisition, will always be one of the tracks that saved my life and helped me overcome a dark period.
I’ll be honest, I can’t sit and listen to AT, apart from a couple of tunes. But I appreciate the complexity and skill involved in creating the music he does, he’s amazing. Perhaps in time his style of music will grow on me.
@Ski-DooSafari Yeh I am of a similar opinion. I think Drukqs is getting greater recognition as time goes by and we get to look at the full scope of his projects. While I disagree about the album having 'no flow', I do think of drukqs as the exemplar of his music and its the album that I tell people to listen to when they want to listen to aphex beyond selected ambient works (also RUSHUP EDGE by THE TUSS. I think if newcomers listen to those two albums, they will pretty much get what makes aphex interesting. Then they can go find the gems like yellow calx
@@rondobrondo They probably meant no "ordinary flow". It flows in a very bizarre way and when you listen front to back enough times, yes, there is a special flow. So good
6:39 This sample is dope! I happen to be the person that originally submitted it to WhoSampled. Like other people say the track is misnamed here but it's not your fault since it's listed twice (one of them incorrectly) at WhoSampled. I'll try submitting some corrections to avoid this problem in the future. Anyways, great video!
Lots of the stuff on whosampled is wrong. Specifically when it says artist a sampled artist b and the truth is both sampled the same famous 60s/70s album.
The Runs House Funky Drummer Variation has been produced by Davy DMX. I think you know at least one track by Davy DMX :) Amazing variation of the Funky Drummer , one of my favourites.

5:30 - that one has been driving me nuts! There were a few WATMM threads about it trying to figure out the source. The "Children Talking" album was used in on AFX's Hangable Auto Bulb release for tracks "Children Talking" and "Everyday"
@@squareeyedgit No. It was released on an AFX ep called Orphans. The only thing Luke had to do with it, was providing the original stems for that one track really.
@@squareeyedgit The reason some people have it listed as a split EP is because Discogs insists that the artist name for any remix is the original artist not the remixer. So they list the first 2 tracks as Luke Vibert when all the tracks claim to be AFX and the artist name of who he's remixing is part of the song title. "AFX - Luke Vibert Spiral Staircase (AFX remix)" Considering almost all of his remixes are him completely deconstructing the song and making a new one out of fragments it's usually fair to list him as the artist.
I love YT! I know a few Aphex tracks, and have a mixtape from '92 that had 'Polynomial-C' (the track at 5:45) on it. I always loved the track, but never knew the name until just now.....after having given up hope of ever finding out the track's name (I still have the mixtape, but nothing to play it on and haven't listened to it for YEARS!) Really fucking happy to finally learn the track name and artist! Fitting that it should be Aphex Twin, who I've got 'nuff respect for! Big up!
Btw if you're looking for a physical copy it and the EP before it are reprinted on Classics. Much easier to find than the original printings of the 2 EPs, although later reprints of Classics have the cover changed to just an inverted version of Selected Ambient Works 85-92's cover.
This video is mind-blowing. I would love to know how you researched this - the Medeski Martin & Wood sample... I had that album for years, used that SAME SAMPLE myself and I still never heard it in Drukqs before you pointed it out here. Unbelievable work.
the break in "20 pink floyd" isn't technically the funky drummer, it's a 2nd generation sample meaning an artist sampled funky drummer, layered it with some other drums, then *that* was in turn sampled by others. that particular 2nd gen funky drummer break was widely used in oldschool hardcore music, i think it's sampled from a late '80s hip hop track
True. That sample was from Run DMC - Run's House from album Tougher Than Leather. And they used James Brown - Funky Drummer. That Run DMC album is worth checking out. For more stuff you can check Smashing Sebastian TV & Ysper 1 MC TV.
I suppose that Richard also sampled Apache in Xtal and s950tx16wasr10, but maybe it was in the earlier version of this video, before it was copyrighted
mayi i add The last two songs, "Burger Queen" - which was written about a homosexual, drug-addicted goth in Luxembourg[citation needed] - and "Evil Dildo" were written during a soundcheck at Leipzig on their first German tour in October 1996,[4] and were two of the first songs to be written for the album. The title for "Burger Queen" is a play on Burger King and Luxembourg. The voices heard during the hidden track "Evil Dildo" are actual death threats left on Molko's answerphone.[13] The second of these voices, over the outro to this song (starting at roughly 21:30), is exactly the same as that in the outro of the Aphex Twin song 'Funny Little Man' on the Come To Daddy EP, which was released almost exactly a year before this album.
Crazy how much Fenix Funk reminds me of ol' Squarepusher. Some legendary breaks in this video. Most of them supported jungle as it escaped from hardcore and did its own thing. Cut to now and I'll always prefer the Think break to neuro kick / snares. Imagine being in your 50s and watching a video where somebody spent hours investigating the night you ripped a betamax in 1991 living at your parents' house. Legendary.
I'm convinced he's sampled other orchestral pieces but just very quietly. Listen to Tha in really high quality with no background noise and there seems to be an orchestral piece in a totally clashing key stuttering in and out, gated by the percussion really quietly in amongst the reverb. You can hear it most clearly in the first minute or so and a few times later on.
@@zonesquestiloveunderworld It might just be what's on the other side of the tape bleeding through. Also I don't think a version of Tha exists without background noise, the master tape is one of his mum's cassettes that he wiped over. Almost all of his pre-1993 stuff was recorded that way.
I never knew ED-209 moonlighted as an influential underground IDM artist. You learn something new everyday! I guess I’m not surprised, ED’s head always looked like a giant speaker. It’s a shame RoboCop blew him up and OCP scrapped the project. Seriously though I thought this was very cool to see and hear
Just when I am getting into Aphex Twin (I know I've missed out for a while). Thanks! Btw, those who do love Aphex Twin, what are your favourite tracks? I want to know more!
oh shit, I misunderstood you! I thought you were like "what are your favourite musicians like Aphex Twin" ))) my favorite aphex tracks are: well, I can't tell you. I like almost all of them.
The next line after the 2 he uses in parking lot is "they paved paradise to put up a parking lot". That actually became a turn of phrase for awhile after the original song came out, although I haven't heard it used in a long time.
Xtal is one of the most beautiful songs of all time

This is masterful use of samples. The samples themselves don't make the magic, it's what he does with them that is.

The green calx sample is absolutely insane. Who hears a sound like that and thinks “I’m going to put this in a song”

*Analogue Bubblebath was been released september 1991
Can you please make William Basinski edition?
The “boing” noise at the end of the Green Calx bit is from the dinos eyes popping out in the 6000SUX commercial from Robocop
My favourite movie of all time!
@@8mu- - Yes, definitely in my top 3.
dang thank you for sharing this insight.
I did not know the ones for parking lot and 1st 44!! Nice catch!!
The next line after the 2 he uses in parking lot is "they paved paradise to put up a parking lot". That actually became a turn of phrase for awhile after the original song came out, although I haven't heard it used in a long time.
this is a stellar collection - great work!!
Awesome video!!! I wish I could see the missing minutes, even if just in list form
I was today years old when i learned Aphex didn't write those drum patterns himself...still the GOAT.
