[kragle2008]

i remember the IDM room in soulseek when this came out.. was a special time, everyone was rushing to get the best recording of it :) i would love this on vinyl now though!

[Chingophia]

@kragle2008 and here's me thinking soulseek was some sort of club XD

[kragle2008]

@Chingophia haha nah man, its the biggest p2p mp3 network on the net but its kept very underground still :) The IDM room help fund soulseek though hehe

[khaghgoo]

In my younger days I was on date with a girl and when I started my car this song was playing. She was like "this is the crap you listen to"? I tried to play it off like I was just listening to it for my laptop DJ sampling...for years I couldn't listen to it without a tinge of bitterness. Now I realize I should have kicked her out of the car for talking down on Aphex Twin.

[worldisgnarly]

@khaghgoo Yes you should have! what a bitch.

[happybirthdayto007]

@khaghgoo she woulda got the boot if i were you. not even just because its aphex twin. people that aren't musically open-minded suck.

[RagingBullDnB]

@khaghgoo I think we can all relate. Some (most) people just don't understand.

[Thenativejam]

Aphex Twin is a genious

[iloveshetlandponies]

This is so gorgeous. So many memories.

[kendallbob]

reminds me of my spring bike rides by the river i spent listening to this song

[KaunisRoheIine]

@jeanjacketsfolded lolololololololol good joke :P

[ReeceJackson]

I wasn't too into Analord when I heard it the first couple of times, after hearing this though it reminds me of his early music, might give it another go

[KaunisRoheIine]

I dont like this

[DarwenDevil58]

@KaunisRoheIine that is accepted in this realm of the internet ;D

[sleestack808]

@KaunisRoheIine fuck you very much

[KaunisRoheIine]

@sleestack808 why the hate? only cause form all the fucking Analord this is the only one I think its shit? You can fuck you shithead and suck my dick.

[deathragh1]

[renaud68]

Is there any possible way to download/find the analord series and/or chosen lords?

[itanimullitenretni]

@renaud68

rephlex dot com slash artists slash view slash AFX

[x24z26]

@renaud68

Chosen Lords is a CD you could order. Unfortunately, I haven't found anyway to download the whole Analord series. Chosen Lords has some good tracks, with IMO Fenix Funk 5 and xmd5a being the best cuts on there, but that's just me.

[rhymeswithgabriel]

@x24z26 it's quite easy to download the whole analord

[x24z26]

@rhymeswithgabriel

Well, I am definitely in favor of supporting artists I like by paying for their music, so that they can continue making more music. However, when they don't make it available for download or put it (all) out on CD, it does make it difficult for fans.

[rhymeswithgabriel]

@x24z26 same for me. if i can find a hard copy i'd totally get it. but it's so difficult to acquire things like this. i mean the only record store near me is literally over 1.5 hours away by car...

[193766666]

@rhymeswithgabriel I buy lots of his stuff from Discogs.

discogs.com/sell/list?release_­id=428328&ev=rb

this shit is stuck in my head aphex twin is brilliant

[theroomofwonder]

sounds great in 7.1 surround...

[Seiferzed]

after hearing this song i fired myself :P

[unionofonion]

@Seiferzed What a weak minded boy, you are.

[MonsieurRondu]

@unionofonion what?

[FreedomGotAnAK]

goddamn, would you check those madbosscore 808s.

[abcbamz17]

i love songs with these bmsr-like tones, cool

[Mannex17]

@abcbamz17 lol those "bmsr-like" tones are just called "analog synths"

[abcbamz17]

@Mannex17 analog synth would be the the instrument yes, but not the specific tone im reffering to,

bmsr uses really low frequencies with that vibrato that gives it that awkward almost lo-fi feel, thats what i meant. and this song consists almost completely just those tones just like bmsr, which really isn't common.

[colonelsquid]

So. . ., what does jog on imply?

[Corsonmcnash]

just got a few AFX and aphex twin (same person, just under a different name) albums on vinyl for christmas, this song is so good on vinyl.

[Kolenschopper]

@Corsonmcnash

you are bullshitting!!



[Corsonmcnash]

@Kolenschopper Not bullshitting :) I thank my brother, I think he ordered them from out of the country, since there were customs stickers all over the package. Best brother ever.

[sandy120]

@Corsonmcnash your brothers a legend u lucky s.o.b. i got a few aphex vynyls from back when i was younger the kick ass

[retnuHDJ]

@Corsonmcnash I envy you, as I do not own a record player or a single RDJ release on vinyl (or a good sounds system for that matter... But at least I have my awesome headphones) :D

[Corsonmcnash]

@retnuHDJ Sometimes thats all you need. Iv'e created a makeshift set up in my room consisting of some pretty decent computer speakers which hook up to a very nice stereo receiver, which then hooks up to my fathers old record player. I'm heading into college next year, and when I get an apartment, I plan on hooking something nicer up. However, until then this will have to do.

[retnuHDJ]

@Corsonmcnash True. I only got my headphones (well, headset) a few weeks ago, and music sounds amazing on it. I actually get to hear the panning of the sounds properly (not just from left earphone to right, but all round).

When I get moneys and my own place, I too will be getting a damn good setup :D

[protobuster]

this song is so amazing, aphex melodies and drums are.....

[Certainlynotsure]

Might be the best song ever made.

[kneecapped1000]

aphex is the top joggerer onna!

real top jogger this spot on top jogging joggers!

massive 100 meter dash respect to the circuit blown crew!

and the tin pot samplers....

[boxofz]

@kneecapped1000 If your unable to appreciate it your welcome to pendulum, eminem and the other garbage in your favorites, but don't bring your lame shit here, because no one watching this is interested

[shadowman6336aseye]

@boxofz Well said!

[retnuHDJ]

@boxofz Haha well said. Hopefully whoever that was you replyed to realised the error of their ways and thought "You know, maybe I shall listen to more of this AFX person and find out what it's all really about".

Then, with any luck, this so-called person will be addicted for life to good music :D

[picko100]

@boxofz I literally think he is retarded and should probably take a bath in sulphuric acid in his pathetic attempts to scorn people.

[WinXMillsy]

@boxofz Im hell interested ive started listen to aphex in at the end of 2009 and prolly listened to over 6000 hours of aphex :D

[boxofz]

@WinXMillsy right on, cant go wrong with aphex

[x24z26]

@WinXMillsy

If you listened to it 24 hours a day, it would take more than 8 months to reach 6,000 hours. That means you have spent approximately 50% of your life since you discovered RDJ, listening to him, according to your figures.

Time well spent IMO! ...but a little hard to believe too.

[WinXMillsy]

@x24z26 i got 4000 hours on Cod play and i listen to more aphex then i do play cod :)

[Unlimited035]

@WinXMillsy 4000 hours playing a videogame, dude you seriously need to do something with your life.

[Phexlar]

@Unlimited035 i know him in real life and its not really 4000 its like 700 mw2 and 400 black ops

[Unlimited035]

@Phexlar who cares? it's still retarded... go find a girl or something seriously =/

[WinXMillsy]

@Unlimited035 why find a girl when i can wank all day easier... 

[Unlimited035]

@WinXMillsy this guy FTW

[WinXMillsy]

@Unlimited035 :)

[SilentBombr]

@WinXMillsy LMAO truth

[WinXMillsy]

@Phexlar 690 in b/o

[jailbreakir]

@WinXMillsy thats a lot of aphex

[elscumo]

@WinXMillsy what a waste of your life. cod blows. thats 4000 hours you will never get back bro. not like it matters since if you are spending so much time playing a shitty game your life must suck anyway.

[WinXMillsy]

@elscumo You know nothing of me i'm a nice person now don't say my life sucks cause it' can get worse.

[Phexlar]

@elscumo Hey shut the fuck up man and what exactly do you do with your life then???

[NoCommentChick]

@boxofz You mean Enema Man and Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dogg? You kids get off my SL-1200!

[DinkiDiDude]

@boxofz yeah way to roast stuff for the sole reason of being popular with the masses....

[boxofz]

@DinkiDiDude was a bit roast now i look back at it

[praterzen]

before that i didn't know aphex i found a lot of great music but now i can't find better than him:(

i could piss bogseats and come up with a better tune than this...

[paranoidandroid192]

@kneecapped1000 Why have you come onto an Aphex Twin track just to call it shit. You know what I do if I don't like something. I don't listen to it but I also don't badmouth it because I know that what one person thinks is a masterpiece another thinks is a pile of shit. So just chill out mate.

[drugdaddy]

Well said.

[kneecapped1000]

@paranoidandroid192 no i wont chillout i think this is top pansy bollox...

[kneecapped1000]

its a bit commodore 64 ish to me,i can appreciate the people liking this.

but its a bit grey..and dull for me.....

its a bit of the trendy club isnt it?

like tracy emin or those posh wine bar art fanatics...

this guys spent his childhood rewiring big track and speak and spell.....

its soul less man wheres the bounce?

[wordslouderthanbombs]

@kneecapped10 Shame on you

[kneecapped10]

@wordslouderthanbombs lol what for speaking the truth..wheres the bounce that thing you know the spark the magic..its sit in the boiler room room music....

[MrROLY1973]

@kneecapped10

I hope what your name implies that you have been kneecapped sit down and shut up !

[Electroguy1]

@kneecapped10 Lol. It's called IDM for a reason. You need to find yourself some RIVVERSIIDE. ^_^

[drugdaddy]

@kneecapped10 Watchya talkin bout willis?

[kneecapped1000]

@drugdaddy you lot making a big deal out of this dpeak and spell bollox!

dear oh dear!

[drugdaddy]

@kneecapped1000 And you could do better yourself yea? Each to their own fool! Oh and if it was a speak and spell, its a bloody good circuit bent one at that!

[drugdaddy]

@drugdaddy Make us a piece, not on a program! Do it on hardware and upload it for us too see how brilliantly your music making skills are.

[kneecapped1000]

@drugdaddy wooooh talk about shirty..look im happy for you..

you like texas instruments and beep beep bop music..

hilarious you think this guys mozart,mozart played in key...

now go and have a middle class avant garde night...

[drugdaddy]

@kneecapped1000 Each to their own, you probably like drum and bass what I liked when I was 14-18 years old, I grew out of it. Aphex twin is one of the top music producers in the world, he covers alot of genres of music as well as basicly creating hes own.. Just cause this piece is a "speak and spell" to you, it isnt to others.

Oh and im not middle class, Im scum that was rioting with police before a squat rave on sat! Middle class crusties don't do that! PEACE.

[kneecapped1000]

@drugdaddy actually i like lots of music from mozart to hip hop to dnb to electro..

but im into grooves and ive always found this guy lacks ryhtm and flow and bounce,im into the nod head factor,hes pretty good at sound design but hes music knowledge aint that great,but its sound fields a few sculptured sounds but there aint much music going on....the bass lines take the piss.the grooves feel to straight wheres the swing..its static man..and it is pretence a little....

[drugdaddy]

@kneecapped1000 Oh well that's your view on AFX, fair play to you.. Try maybe listening to "The Tuss" one of his new alias's. "last rushup10" and "Synthacon9" are in my eyes brilliant pieces of music.

[murfyness]

@drugdaddy lolz 

[drugdaddy]

@kneecapped10 "this guy" has done more in his first 5 years of making music than you would do in your entire lifetime! And learn to talk properly you dim mug.

[dustXiron]

This song makes me incredibly happy. *looks at title of song* Oh, no wonder..

[VaIIentine]

I think its too soft and relaxing as for RDJ... Enjoyable, still.

@rocksoliddude1 is great*

[freddurst1999]

havent heard this song in years, oh the memories!!!!

[drugdaddy]

Cant wait to get this one on vinyl, up to analord 4 at the moment! Brilliant series so far! =]

I'd fookin love to shake RDJ's hand!

Legend!

[brownorangeblueband]

so sad

[alirezamortezai]

only a person with absolute ease of mind can make such a piece, a self employed person

[jarblewarble]

@alirezamortezai I think it just takes a bit of imagination to make music like this, but it's hard to record it. I actually can "hear" sounds like this if I try, but I can't record them because they only exist in my head, so recording one of those songs is like trying to turn a dream into a film that replicates it.

[DaiReborn]

I envy Aphex Twin so much. Tons of musical genius, and tons of gear in his house to make music with. I'm slowly building a collection of gear, so maybe I can one day be like him and support myself by making music in my basement. Although he does it in a former bank (in the vault I hear, what a cool place to put a studio! I wonder if he locks the giant vault doors every night with his gorgeous gear inside?). I'll never be like Aphex Twin, but the trying, the journey, it satisfies the soul.
