Guest CapriBuddha Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I'm just in awe of this song. There's nothing else I've heard that's as beautiful, or evokes so much deep emotion, at least not in such an immediate way. I can just turn it on and straight away it puts my life and problems in perspective. It's so simple and yet so effective that it almost makes a mockery of everything that came before it tbh. Maybe this is going too far but it honestly seems to capture some sort of essence of the human condition for me... So if RDJ releases nothing but acid techno with wacky twisting bass lines for the rest of his life I couldn't be angry because he's never going to top Rhubarb nor is anyone else. Anyone feel the same way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berk Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Not sure if I think it's his best song but it's a beautiful track for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futureimage Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Definitely not the most beautiful thing I've ever heard, but definitely up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ansgaria Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Probably my favorite ambient piece from RDJ. Wisp's remix is fantastic as well, it really sticks to the beauty of the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elusive4 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 when it drops off / goes silent for a second around 40s or so into it, i stop breathing,,,and then it rushes back in and melts my breath away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nene multiple assgasms Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 it's like the most profound sadness and the most comforting peace and warmth at the same time. if I had to name an all-time favorite track it would be this one.

encym Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Extremely sweet track. I agree. One of those few electronic music instrumentals that you remember the melody of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fatcaesar Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I quite agree.. this piece really puts my anxiety at a rest, there are a few other tracks that does it as well but this sure is at the very top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShammenDelly Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I love Rhubarb, but i think stone in focus is better, its just one of those pieces of music that can be seen in a very happy moment or the saddest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Calx Sherbet Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 i love the second tone that comes in about 1/3 of the way through and stays for most of the track. it becomes so stark and and dreary, like it's "the end" of something. the end of what, i don't know. a story, a movie, a life, the Earth after life is long gone. i compare the feeling to most of Lovely Thunder by Harold Budd.

Guest CapriBuddha Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 this is beautiful http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4hQG-XTVa4 Oh that... yeah I guess it works in a sort of cheap way... I don't find two young men bonding over a beer, reluctantly acknowledging the beauty of the sunset behind them, stuggling to keep things lighthearted in order to prevent any dreaded mushy sentimentality from breaking out, and basically trying to defend their masculinity at all costs, to be beautiful tbh. It feels fucking awkward to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDO Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 on my top favs list for sure too. there's this arrangement some youtube guy did for the track, it is pretty great to play on guitar too. edit: oops i guess it was already posted, but here's the original guy. the tab's linked there too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTsUvMZSi9o edit 2. the guy makes a lot of arrangments for aphex's tracks for guitar. check them out.
