      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.

    • @michaels8597

    • @j-b-l8147
      @j-b-l8147 2 роки тому +10

      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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

      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.
