Aphex Twin The Aphex Twin Music on TV

[WaxenPith]

The song "4" was used in a US government anti-drug advertisement spot, as well as an advertisement in the United States for the Special Olympics.

 

David Firth, the creator of the online series "Salad Fingers", has used "Milkman", "4" and "Girl/Boy Song" in his own unofficial videos.

 

"Girl/Boy Song" was used in the US in a Bank of America commercial.

 

The short film Rubber Johnny utilized an extended version of "afx237 v7" and "gwarek2" as its background score.

 

"Jynweythek Ylow" and "Avril 14th" were featured in Sofia Coppola's 2006 film Marie-Antoinette.

 

"Omgyjya-Switch7" is featured in the 2006 film Children of Men.

 

"Nanou2" plays towards the end of the Shane Meadows film Dead Man's Shoes.

 

"Avril 14th" was sampled in the digital short Iran So Far on a Saturday Night Live episode that aired on 2007-09-29.

 

"Btoum-Roumada" is featured in the 2007 Harmony Korine film Mister Lonely.

Dead Man's Shoes is a Warp Films production so I guess they got that one as a freebie

I was obviously not being serious when I said 'awesome'? What's your point?

If anyone's interested, the entire Gun documentary was uploaded to YouTube.

 

Here is part 4, with Raising The Titanic (Big Drum Mix) at the start, and Girl/Boy (NLS Mix) at 2:39:

 

 

And part 6, with Quino-phec at 3:50:

 

 

Is it just me, or does it seem like AFX's music is fucken silly in the backround of anything but a chris cunningham video. There, the images are meant to directly match the music. But anywhere else His music ... just doesn't fit with anything ive ever seen it in. I guess it's just because ive listened to his music so much and have my own images in my head from it. So when i see the music applied to other images it just doesn't work.

 

But then again, maybe it's just to abstract to work with conventional media. Notice they didn't use any of the parts of girl/boy with the breaks, just the sweet sounding synths at the end of the song.

Goon Gumpas and Nannou are featured in the movie Morvern Callar. Cool film too, I recommend.

I dunno. The SAWII tracks on Chris Morris' Jam/Blue Jam work incredibly well as a background to Chris' disturbingly surreal sketches. It just depends on what tracks and where the tracks are being used

if you haven't really listened to afx much, his music probably fits better. otherwise your probably too used to it.

[Guest analogue wings]

There was a BBC documentary about the British Contemporary Art duo Gilbert and George. I didn't see it when it was broadcasted, but I saw it at this website.

 

The tracks used were just a few of the tracks on SAWII. You can hear them early on in the program.

Just found the old dvd with my tv recording on it - documentary about a german woman who let her child starve to death, hid it between the pillows of a sofa in the other children's room and eventually put it in a freezer has the first 4 seconds of Gwarek 2.

[SCONES TO DIE FOR]

I remember that commercial with "4." I remember seeing it on tv in the US. Drukqs came out soon after, which was kind of funny.

Electronic dance music was made by gay men? Next you'll tell me that gay men made heavy metal too.

Well, Ron Hardy and Larry Levan pioneered electronic music in gay clubs and were gay themselves.

Not to mention Frankie Knuckles too, and many more. I thought the sarcasm in my post was pretty obvious. (The singer of Judas Priest is gay by the way)

Yesterday I was watching some shitty 2 hour "news"-thing for unemployed women when they showed some mouldy flat of a "messy" and played Hankie in the background...

Btoum-Roumada in a documentary in "america" channel, Argentina.

and a funny one: they put the beggining of one of the analord 9´s fakes in a promo.

I just saw a tv programme for children where there was somebody in a big robot suit scaring all those children at some theater or something, and the robot had all these bleeping neon lights and Bit4 coming out of his suit, looping constantly.

 

Weird.

Isn't TV always like that in the Netherlands?
