Lucas Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pauHspEM3ls I was listening to Mangle 11 and thought that this track is characteristic of Aphex talent in the way it couldn't really fit in any of his album and still all in the track sounds AFX. I mean, sometimes I feel like every very good Aphex Track could be the starter for a new musical genre. Mangle 11 could be on an epic dark DNB style album made by RDJ. Sorry to write this hardcore fan thread (anyway I suppose I'm in the right place for that) but I was hearing an Aphex track in the Favorite Music Video thread and I plugged my external HDD and listened to random Aphex tracks and it's been a while so it remembers me why I've an endless admiration for this guy.

gunnar Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 this track kicks my ass, one of my favourite of his. just by using the amen break in such unique passionate way is a showcase of incredible talent. nobody has ever made it flow like that.

Lucas Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Yeah, the way he compressed that break makes it so incisive... Also, I think that's the only track where Aphex use the amen break without hiding it, isn't it ? I think I've heard some amen snares in Hangable Auto Bulb EP but they're heavily processed so you can't recognise them unless you really pay attention.

J3FF3R00 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 ow, sorry. I made a search actually but maybe I mistaken in a letter or I don't know Hey, if there's one song that is worth having 2 threads about it, this is it. Off the fuckin chain. This track is straight up mind-blowing. The use of the amen is definitely sick. I also love the ambient textures in the background throughout the 2nd half of the song that pull you in. It's quite hypnotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 It is so fucking good, and I hadn't listened to it for months until now, so thanks for reminding me to do so. For some reason I always get the impression that it's inspired by those mystery shortwave radio stations, but I don't know why. It just gives me kind of the same unsettling feeling as they do. At the same time though, it's a total banger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 I think this track is somehow comparable to the Tuss' Deathfuck. you know, mental beats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest plutopia Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I've been glued to this track and White Lion for weeks (months?) in addition to the 5 other "Unreleased Tuss" tracks in the thread. I often listen to these combined with Drukqs (and Rushup Edge and Confederation Trough) as they flow together quite nicely in the mind's ear. I'm probably reading too much into it, but I think I'm getting the power station thing now (even though it's probably a complete fib..). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Dylan Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 This is really a Drukqs track, basically. The way he writes this track feels a lot like Mt-Saint-Michaels/Mont-Saint-Michel. Everything in it's composition relates to that album. A little more and he inserts a "puck" sample. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I suppose that track is closer to Drukqs than to any other album but still, in my mind it couldn't be on Drukqs. There's something different in its atmosphere. Darker maybe. A lot of Drukqs tracks are dark but they always have a counterpoint to that. Yeah that's it, that track is IMO too frontal for being on Drukqs.

Bob Dylan Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Oh it's mostly because of distortion-type effects. Drukqs is super-dry. The composition of Mangle is Drukqs-y, but the end result is a little more harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jones machine said he used to smoke a lot of joints with RDJ beside these wind turbines and listen to the sounds for inspiration wouldn't surprise me if they went up there tripping once and the sound design and nature of the turbines whilst tripping clearly inspired him ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
