Guest Pete is your friend Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I bought that album in 98 or 99, but I never bothered to look at the track titles. Even now, I'll just drag the whole folder over to ye olde em pee three player without considering the individual files.. I may have gone for years without knowing the name of that track.. It's a true classic and a longtime favorite. On a related note, does anybody remember the live set in which RDJ drops this stellar track--and hard?? As I recall, there's also a lot of Squarepusher in the set (a bunch of classics from Selection Sixteen)... It's not the best recording, but it's one hell of a fine set. I can't seem to find the file... i remember this clearly. was there front row being assaulted by speakers when this hit and we fucking went mad. being from southern california it was rare to get aphex over here, let alone get him to play the shit we wanted to hear. was a pretty memorable aphex first for me. that night was nuts though, merzbow, rdj and boredoms shared the same stage.

perunamuusi Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 i always lol when ameican people talk of getting "front row seats" for gigs it reminds me of bad tv shows where someone says "hey i got front row tickets for aerosmith" or something rows lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berk Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 i like how it takes its time too. nice and long. Yeah, love how it builds, how the chords at the beginning of the track make it sound mysterious. And the strings are so damn nice. Is there anyone who also thinks that AFX always succeeds in making very 'storytelling' tracks, something that lots of other artists aren't quite as good in?

Is there anyone who also thinks that AFX always succeeds in making very 'storytelling' tracks, something that lots of other artists aren't quite as good in? Yes. That's because most artists in IDM or whatever aren't musicians. They've scrobbled some gear and software and are plinking about. AFX is that once-in-a-lifetime combination of musicianship and gear mastery that we may never see another example of in our lifetimes. Sorry to get all bumlicky but does anyone disagree? There are other people that are musician and masters of technology in the world though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 At around 4.18 where the reverb of the melody increases like a climatic moment, I love that. It's like a trademark Aphex technique he uses in a lot of his music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hahathhat Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 acrid smoking jam shed to elaborate on my car point, try a slow, deliberate drive in the rain early in the morning. breathe calmly and listen to acrid avid jam shred. it may be raining outside, but inside the car you're comfy and warm, free to drive around enjoy the beauty of it all.
