Guest Morgan Dunn Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 What do you think? Theres something blissful and cheerful about it...but at the end...there's this sort of depressed feeling. It has both feelings...I'm sure its different for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak of the week Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 It's kind of sad to me, or should I better say reminiscent. Great tune whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCM Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 it's quite reflective...a bit like thinking about a girlfriend you had 7 years ago and feeling happy that you had her and sad that it didn't work out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaini Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 the phrygian scale often has that effect i wish you'd stop mentioning the phrygian scale (or, to be more accurate, mode) in every aphex thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josso Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Sad but that may be because of personal experience at the time when I got into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Thisket Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 It's a wonderful driving-through-rain song. Not like traffic jams, but like scenic green woods. But most of all it's the berries . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Enter a new display name Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I'm kinda confused if it has a sad or happy mood. I guess it's a mix of both... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chim Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 it's not the phrygian scale dude f phrygian, though it's heavily out of tune. play the notes F or F#, G#, D# at the start (with a well tuned instrument or synth) and you'll get a cool chorusy effect with the main chord line. the chorus thing later on is practically the same except it changes the B key to C, making the scale F locrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 i'm fairly sure that aphex has no idea whether the mode that a track is in is phrygian or locrian or mixolydian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dr. Elemeno von Hat X: PhD Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 i always thought it was a nostalgic sort of song. early memories with your family and such. happy memories, but sad because it was long ago, perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chim Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 i'm fairly sure that aphex has no idea whether the mode that a track is in is phrygian or locrian or mixolydian. i find that notion pretty silly considering he uses it over and over again in different keys, and uses pentatonic scales as well.
