Aphex Twin

Okay, i admit: i DONT get it!!
Who can listen to it, WHO?
This music is soo sick weird structureless meaningless got no build ups "directions" �rhythms anything...
i just like 2 of his tracks, but only cause they aint his "normal" style, Windowlicker and Come to Daddy is nice but the rest
Ive even downloaded a whole liveset..well if u listern to it the entire 60 minutes with headphones, be sure to die

hehe

Yeah it is hard to listen to. But its as if they have they're own style.....i like it and i dont like it. D/L Come to Daddy, its got a nice drum n' bass part in the song......and Donkey Rubarb, this one is cool, best song they've made i think, the video is so funny too.

Yeah...he always seemed very weird to me. Especially when I was in the music store and saw the cd with the cover of a girl in a bikkini but his face over her's...definitely weird.

is the pic on the covers really him? cuz sorry to say so, but he's an ugly mother fuker!

I like Windowlicker.. dunno any other songs... oh, I've seen his last album, "Droqs" or "Draqs" I think is the name...

The guy does the music for StarTrek.....i dont mind his songs...i realy enjoyed windowlicker, it really nice chill if you ask me....Chicane blasted it on his MOS set and its also on his "Visions of Ibiza" album, so this guy cant be that bad??? and all his videos to his tracks are hella funny

You guys are missing out on the good stuff, I'll agree that some of his stuff is unlistenable... but here are some real gems:

Window Licker (Of course)
Iz-Us
Goon Gumpas
FingerBib
Milkman

Someone between Industrial, Ambient and Electronica comes a genius called Aphex Twin. Pure genius

Try his Selected Ambient Works vol. I, all tracks on it are great, just so smooth. Vol. II again is much deeper, darker & experimental type of ambient.

My brother is obcessed with aphex twin. He says the people behind it are musical geniuses. Personaly I think its noise....but im not into the whole random sounds scene. I could throw a cat at a synth and make better tunes.

Aphex Twin can be tough to listen to but, nobody makes better videos - windowlicker, donkey rhubarb and come to daddy are all totally on point.

Posted by Special_K on Nov-23-2001 09:50:

yep there videos are some of the most crative videos i have ever seen.
