    I grew up in the countryside as a child, and whenever there was a snow day and school was cancelled, me and my best friend would take the wheels off our skateboards and use them as snowboards on all the newly formed slopes.
    I would have Xtal & Pulsewidth playing on my mp3 player as the soundtrack to those snow days, I don't know why but something about those two tracks really suited the snowy landscape. Now whenever I hear these tracks as an adult, I get the strongest sense of nostalgia and those magical snowy childhood memories all come flooding back.
    I can't thank Aphex Twin enough for creating this music. If you ever happen to read this, Richard - thank you for making my childhood just that extra bit more special :)

    • @Marauder1981

      I would say it fits because the sound uses mainly plains-soundscapes (like smooth snow) and with a bit of fantasy you can hear the jingly christmas bells in the song which might remind you of generic christmas song bells.

      Something about this comment seems so very comfortable and warming to me. I've never done K yet, (yet) but I had a sorta similar experience with MDMA. I crushed a yellow strawberry pill into dust, split it into two lines and snorted one up each nostril. I'm shitting you not mate I kept playing "Will Smiths - Getting Jiggy With It" on loop not remembering I had just played it a couple of times already. You know the bit where the "choir/group" is chanting that "Na-na-na-na-na-na-na" bit? I felt like I was in heaven listening to those voices, I felt like nothing else existed and I was just in a pure euphoric state that I don't think I've ever experienced since. Thank you for reminding me about that wonderful time.

    I remember the first time when I heard of Aphex, it was through his grammy win in 2014. At the time, I only listened to electronic music in the form of house and synthpop, and when I heard Syro and the RDJ album, I was turned off on how cold and calculated it sounded. But then I found out about his 2 Selected Ambient Works albums, and that was when I was struck by the wonderment of it all. And it all started with this song.

The creativity was everywhere and we can largely thank electronic music for that, and sampling... Sampling played a massive part as it ensured everyone was perpetually looking back, whether they knew it or not. What an era.

      Me deixa feliz saber que existem outros brasileiros que partilham do mesmo gosto que o meu. O Aphex Twin é um gênio, sinto que o Richard criava suas músicas com o intuito de gerar emoções, porque cada música que ouço dele me traz uma sensação diferente. E essa, sem sombra de dúvidas, é uma das mais incríveis que ele já produziu, porque pode estar associada a vários sentimentos para quem ouve. De longe um dos melhores artistas eletrônicos que já existiu.

    I love how this whole record feels. Some of the tracks sound half asleep yet half awake. None of the tracks are the same yet they incorporate so well together. I see the whole record as one incredible recording. Xtal is sublime, deeply trippy yet focused. It's wonderful listening to it.

    Im probably going to update this comment for a while I want to articulate what this song invoked in me! A special feeling I felt as a child. Perhaps Spiritual, a feeling of renewal. Remember waking up every day and feeling that excitement of a new day as a child. This is what the song invokes. A nostalgia of childhood.
