The Beauty of Being Numb

[Guest dese manz hatin]

The Beauty of Being Numb never seems to get a mention here, probably because only the second half is RDJ, but it is essentially godlike.

 

It seems to incorporate nearly everything of the ICBYD era....analogue, messy machinery sounds, a kind of dreamy atmosphere and those perfect melodies while generally reatining that amazing earthy feel.

Yeah, lovely song, the ending drags on too long though

[Capsaicin]

yeah his remixes for NIN are pretty good

[mcbpete]

At The Heart Of It All was the first Aphex Twin related thing I ever heard and is still one of my favourite tracks of his. Real deep sound of melancholy running all the way though it, a beautiful track...

[Guest dese manz hatin]
