Aphex Twin - Tha

[BUDxLOVEr314]

I just turned 20 a month ago but still i know some people who havent even heard of aphex twin or any of his entrancing work which is a sin because they listen to flux or skrillex i call blasfimy indeed. This was the begging and true roots to what dub or dubstep is now or had atleast a huge influence

[Vanadium]

I only like the ambient tracks from AT and this one is one of my favos.....

[jacderida]

Possibly my favourite track of all time. I could live for 1000 years and not get bored of this. I've thought before about having one question to ask Richard D. James, and definitely high up on my list would be about the voice samples that he used for this track. I bet though that that it will always be shrouded in mystery to all but his closest friends... I always bear in mind that he was 21 when it came out. Who knows how young he was when he made it.

[quimsolls1]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm such a nice and cushy song

[konjunktion26]

You can talk about knowledge or you can give knowledge. The primitive way to transport knowledge is to use words but the advanced way to transport higher knowledge is to project it trough music into your higher mind and this is what Aphex Twin does with some of his older stuff.

[Niklert]

This is a masterpiece.

[BlackLightDistrikt]

God damn classic... so expansive and meditative, but with a sick groove. Hard to believe this is almost 20 yrs old.

[deadmau5suckz]

David Guetta pwns aphex twin

[StudioScarecrow]

@deadmau5suckz What is it with you "_____sucks" users? There's been one for Bon Iver, Aphex Twin, and now deadmau5. And they all seem to love David Guetta. I'm guessing you're the same person.

[electronicexposure]

@StudioScarecrow maybe it is Dave Guetta

[igorcheteful]

@deadmau5suckz The only thing Guetta pwns Aphex Twin at is being a talentless sell-out.

[genebyegene]

@deadmau5suckz that's the most laughable thing ever put out there on the internet by anyone ever. Congrats...

[illfindyousomewhere]

@deadmau5suckz Oh my God. You're a loser at life.

[UserRED13]

@deadmau5suckz They don't even work in the same genre, not even a common broad one. Guetta makes dance/house music, Aphex Twin is electronica. Guetta is decent and at times can be good, but he isn't very creative. While I may have enjoyed his songs from time to time, it's not even fair to compare them. Aphex Twin is on such a higher lever, on a totally 'nother plane.

[brittamonoxide]

people are mentioning kanye probably because he acually samples the last part of the piano in Aphex's "avril 14th" on his song feat. john legend: "the blame game"

[colenbrak]

man my comment is pretty dumb now that I read it 9 months later... it's like one of those copy and paste comments that people write just to get thumbs up

@imaverydirtyboy

[coressimo]

just incredible

[imaverydirtyboy]

kanye is his own delusion. i dont know why

you even mentioned him

[AsocaDiez]

@imaverydirtyboy And I don't know why we're talking about Kanye west on an Aphex Twin video O_O

[Veneszkov]

Best Aphex track - and album

[strempel1949]

Absolut Perfekte Musik *****

[aa7111]

The genius of his music is its simplicity

[juvedoo99]

@aa7111 so true and it is interesting how squarepusher took the opposite approach to digital music, he went to the complex rythms and beats just goes to show what a genius can do. best album by aphex twin love it.

[yemoss]

i love AT because they let you add your own lyrics..

[ravelikearobot]

@yemoss Music as good as this doesn't need lyrics...

[gogolplex74]

@yemoss aphex twin isn't "they"

[javiceres]

Sublime.

[bld316]

isnt this one of the songs on Animusic 2? sounds similar right?

[VideoKiwi2008]

I have this album, and I must say, it defines the genre of electronic music. Its an absolute masterpiece and I think EVERYONE should have it in their collection, or at least listen to it. Albums like this arent produced today, and thats a pity. But at least it will always be a classic.

[kosemify]

fucking beautiful

[Chapix3]

this track goes faster on drugs , but slower at the same time

[thedjscotto]

this track is so warm, i don't feel like i can listen to it on this computer

[philrox427]

this track just made me vibrate so hard. the sound waaaaaaves man.

[ElectrumZephyr]

@colenbrak I have to concur with you! As I read in the Tao Te Ching,

"Those who know do not speak; those who speak do not know."

Precisely why I love artists like Aphex Twin and BT.

[game4win]

@ElectrumZephyr I LOVE BT! lol alot of people consider his stuff just dance music, but theres more to it. You hear substance and soul in there. BT doesn't write 'fluff"

[CptFarlow]

@ElectrumZephyr The Tao Te Ching is such an amazing book. I'm glad at least one other person in the world has had the pleasure to experience it's beauty.

[stcavato]

@CptFarlow a little more than one other person in the world has had that pleasure experience

[CptFarlow]

@stcavato Really? I figured we were the only two.

[xLordOfTheFliesx]

@ElectrumZephyr

The Tao is amazing.

[FloydTheBarbara]

@ElectrumZephyr but whoever uses that phrase is speaking XP

[KWIfilms]

@colenbrak Sounds like someone doesn't like rap.

[colenbrak]

@KWIfilms haha... i think kanye is a good rapper, and a better producer. i don't even know what prompted me to write that comment, or why so many people thumbed it up...

[hidalgo699]

kanye sucks. Aphex ROCKSSS, his music is a cosmic revelation

[Omgheytux]

@colenbrak actually yes rofl einstein and Leonardo da vinci have both been quoted referencing their geniuses

[PantherFox]

@Omgheytux

Upvotes made it fact, sorry

[geogaddi669]

@colenbrak Hip hop is full of self-proclaimed geniuses, kings, "Christs", and "Gods"--Kanye, the loon, is a perfect example. But does anybody really RESPECT Kanye West, the man? Fuck no. Electronica, on the other hand, has artists like Aphex Twin, who, though they truly are geniuses, don't try to inflate their ego to Godhood. They're just true to themselves and their music. And that is a hell of a lot more respectable.

Why this dichotomy, we ask ourselves...

[geogaddi669]

@geogaddi669 (in other words, i agree with you)

[colenbrak]

@geogaddi669 great artists make hip hop. kanye west is definitely a good artist, albeit arrogant.

[CCCPSimbirsk]

@colenbrak he may be an good artist, but his art is shit.

[CommanderCooper]

@colenbrak Uh, no.

[Dudechill123]

@colenbrak

Einstein had quite an ego when in company of fellow scientists actually.

[TheSlye1]

it might just be my laptop speakers but that pat pat pat pat that goes throughout the whole song sounds like someone hittin from the back real slow and steady hahahahhaaaaa

[enerbrat]

@TheSlye1 wouldnt be suprised if it was. he samples everything lol

[colenbrak]

@TheSlye1 Yeah, it's a really dumb comment. I might delete it just because it would be funny to see a top rated deleted comment...

[urcorrect]

@colenbrak you're right about their difference though... this is art, while most of western mainstream consists of identity supplements for the commercially hypnotized human resource

[MrBoxxed]

nothing about even still today - timeless is timeless....hand made anolg digital classic - machines and man......perfection

[MrBioPuppet]

Thanks for uploading this, I own it but still like listening to it on youtube or wherever I am...... true classic

[kyledrums]

this would be what constitutes as a "perfect song".

[108none]

Daft Punk - Rollin' and Scratchin )

[Waffellinoza]

haha I was 1 month old when this came out :)

[OscillatorCollective]

THIS IS AN AUDIBLE ENTHEOGENIC EXPERIENCE....

[tolstoythegreat]

its sounds pure human

[rnulll]

Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is by far the best cd he ever made (in my opinion)

[Chapix3]

@rnulll SAW 2 

[biggiesmartypants]

the synth is a field recording of heaven

[millsy2625]

This puts me to sleep every night so calming

[Ginne1]

Best Aphex Twin song... Undisputed to be honest

[774434]

@Ginne1 i would dispute that

[Ginne1]

@774434

Which song besides perhaps avril14th could compete with this?

[hashymotothiroiditis]

This album remains the gold standard even still today! Ha. In fact I challenge someone to make a better one than this. I bet they can't do it!

[auron2888]

@hashymotothiroiditis I bet I can

[StovePictures]

@hashymotothiroiditis This very well may be the best album ever. The best Aphex Twin album, and that's saying a lot, because druQks is pretty great.

[HiScoresBoards]

I love this track thanks for uploading it!!

[gunnerella]

One of his best tracks.

so beautiful ;-)
