Aphex Twin - Acrid Avid Jam Shred (Moth Equals Remix 2008)

[ianmoore215]

VERY good!

[TheGero95]

This sounds great, really surprised me. If you remaster some things it can sound even better :)

[ooolohd]

didnt we all! lol.

[leafmould101]

Yep, really good job. You've done the original justice, and not tried to force your own interpretation. And the added bassline is a great progression of the mood. Well done!

[1801465416]

awesome!

[MilesDryva]

nice work...

[TeamAlphaTwo7]

My god, this is amazing!

[ChuChusChannel]

Good job! It's very calming.

[Spectermonkey]

...You managed to make RDJ look even creepier than he looked in that painting to begin with. O___O

[philiprawks]

OMFG. i know my aphex twin. i actually know his style so well. literally. i rape aphex twin. he is my idol. i downloaded this without paying much attention and was hooked on this track. NOW i realise this is NOT aphex himself. i.am.fucking. shocked. no words to describe. dude you nailed this track.

[khanexorcist]

Killa . . . . You nailed it ! :D

[omghai2u]

nice work man much respect to the king. glad to see some one appreciates the afx and does just remix it first try like most of these fukin terds. we should collab some ~shameless plug~ check my page for tunes!

[ProzacPie]

This is very good ...Nice work

[jimisonthenet1]

Well done!

[riseup20twelve]

and now just discovered a D/L link!! cheers mate

[riseup20twelve]

Brilliant remix.. every aspect of it is spot on and sounds just right.. great stuff! :)

[Fuckinthisshitup]

the picture is scary, the track is beautiful



[MOLYBDENUM23]

I consider myself a hardened Aphex fan, This is freakin awesome...Good job.

[rpeek90]

I think Richard would be proud of this one. Well done :)

[MothEquals]

@Marithopia thanks

[MRSEMARTIN]

I prefer it to the original!

[MothEquals]

@MRSEMARTIN that's high praise, I appreciate it :)

[Jonkopoppers]

@MRSEMARTIN me 2

[j5o14jq222]

@MRSEMARTIN same here 

[j5o14jq222]

Respond to this video...  but the original is good

[PeiinNagato]

Very nice work

You should be proud of yourself.This is an excellent piece of art.

[MothEquals]

@PeiinNagato that's kind of you to say, thank you :)

[octagon79]

I may have commented on this before but I'll say it again. This is the best Aphex remix that I've heard asides from his own remixes, and it's far better than any of the crappy remixes or mash-ups that warp have put out on recent compilations.

[drraygun]

beautiful..thank you for making it :)

[MothEquals]

@drraygun thanks for listening to it :)

[nancyjulian606]

Hell yeah, that's pretty groovy. I actually like it better than the original, and I LOVE the original. I love the part were it builds back up after that ping-y middle bit. With the pitch-bent violin type thing... so hell yeah, rock on dude!

[MothEquals]

@nancyjulian606 thanks for the very kind words, and I'm happy you like it. I'll rock on :)

[EvilerBowser1003]

woah woah a good aphex twin remix? what is this shit it's too good to exist

[MothEquals]

@EvilerBowser1003 maybe this is the Matrix? Either way, I appreciate the comment :)

[DrahcirXIII]

fucking brilliant

[MothEquals]

@DrahcirXIII fucking thanks! :)

[SemiazasxXx]

Wow... I love this remix, it helps me go to sleep when I can't, and makes me happy in gloomy days, and better yet, it's an awesome to chill to when I'm stoned :)

[MothEquals]

@SemiazasxXx thanks for the kind comment, and I'm glad you enjoy the track :)

[Kamari101]

Big booty hoes love this jam!

[MothEquals]

@Kamari101 and this jam loves those big booty hoes :)

[chemicalbeats1]

yah ill definetly have to give u props on this, very good

[MothEquals]

@chemicalbeats1 thanks for the comment :)

[fenixFUnk100]

brilliant piece of work, truly superb :D

[MothEquals]

@fenixFUnk100 very kind of you to say, thank you :)

[beetleva]

Just perfect thanx :)

[MothEquals]

@beetleva thanks for the comment :)

[knowsnowt]

Fantastic.  Just got better and better the longer it went on.

[MothEquals]

@TriplicityX that's Aphex Twin when he's angry (and happy about it).

[69mine]

this is a tite-ass mix Moth... Mucho Like-o

[MothEquals]

@69mine gracias :) glad you think so.

[DreaMagineable]

My god, I have lived to listen to this masterpiece.

[MothEquals]

@DreaMagineable thanks for the warm comment :)

[stripedhyenuh]

So I clicked on this out of morbid curiosity thinking "oh great, some idiot thought that remixing one of RDJ's best tracks would be a good idea". Then I ended up listening to the whole thing, because it's brilliant.

[MothEquals]

@stripedhyenuh I'm happy to have subverted your expectation :) thanks for the kind words.

[MrMcBubz]

same stream of consciousness that happened to stripedhyenuh happened to me. i like this remix alot. i'm glad you sampled my favorite part of the original. definitely gonna play this in the club if you're alright with that.

[dc0st]

Pure Art !

★★★★★

[MothEquals]

@dc0st Thanks dc0st. When YouTube take away your stars, write them in the comment section. ★★★★★ for being smart :)

[octagon79]

I know this is a big statement, but this is probably the best remix of Aphex I've ever heard, and I've ehard it all.

[MothEquals]

@octagon79 it is a big statement, and so it makes me very happy to read it. Thanks :)

[SkaterSerbia]

Please! Tell me where I can download/buy this? Brilliant remix.

[MothEquals]

@SkaterSerbia if you go to the website in the more info section, you can visit my profile and all of my tracks are available to download for free. You have to register as a member before you can download, but it's a respectable website, no annoying spam emails or anything. Thanks for the interest :)

[nSalekz]

Killing spree!

Moth! :)

[MothEquals]

@nSalekz killing in the most passive way possible, I hope? :) Thanks nSalekz

[nSalekz]

@MothEquals @MothEquals Dude,how could I give a negative comment to Aphex Twin,or to you?

Idk if you remember my other comments,but I'm a huge fan of yours ;)

My penis still tickles from the bass,my ears still sperm from the chaos this track put into me.

I feel like virgin FUCKING Mary who got raped from all the holes.

Hope you don't believe in fairy tales people.

Spread the love of music!

MI LUV DIS,spread your legs holy Mary! Let jesus become a chilling tune which will put a nice feeling in U!

[DiazoSoulPrint]

Wow, who would have thought it was possible to remix an aphex twin track and actually kind of make it their own. The original is one of my favorites off ICBYD and you have served it well... a rather impressive job indeed.

Now how do I get a copy?

[MothEquals]

@DiazoSoulPrint if you go to the website in the more info section, you can visit my profile and all of my tracks are available to download for free. You have to register as a member, though, but it's a respectable website. I'm glad you liked what I did with it :) Thanks for the comment.

[Pat1391]

i dig it

[MothEquals]

@Pat1391 glad to read it :)

[blackblackgrey]

Oh my god this is beutifull!!

Haha, Your video popped up in my subscriptions box and when I watched it this was in the sidebar... how have I not heard this before!!!!

The strings in the second half... are really bueitfull! Not heard the orignal (or can't remember it) but if that was an aphex twin melody, you certianly took it and made it into something new, and something really impressive!

Literrly have fallen into this song now. I'll see you all in a few days when I re-emerge.

[MothEquals]

@blackblackgrey that's very kind of you to say :) I didn't want to make a remix just using chopped up samples from the original so thought by using different instruments I'd make something more unique. I'd recommend listening to the original because, aside from it being a good track in itself, you can then compare the two. Thanks for the comment.

[bite2breakskin91]

Me likey

[MothEquals]

@bite2breakskin91 thanks very much :)

[yourthewanthickcunt]

Im listening to this on a tinny sounding laptop speaker and it still sounds good. Great job.

[MothEquals]

@yourthewanthickcunt thanks for the comment, that's good to know :)

[WatneyHeckbulb]

It's a brave man who attempts to remix the unremixable Aphex, but you've done really well with this. Nice dynamics :) Out of interest, what gear do you use, or are you entirely PC-based?

[MothEquals]

This was made entirely on PC (although I now use a Mac) using Audacity and Music 2002. I'm pleased you don't think I spoiled it :) Thanks for the comment, WatneyHeckbulb.

[korny1684]

wow this is awesome

[MothEquals]

Thanks korny1684, I'm happy you think so :)

[Jonkopoppers]

Best part i find is the breakdown 3.47

[MothEquals]

Thanks, Jonkopoppers :)

[summergypsy1]

great buildup

[MothEquals]

Glad you liked it, summergypsy1 :)

[Dakoder]

Fucking awesome!

[MothEquals]

Thanks Dakoder :)

[AlbertoBalsalm1624]

Really Cool! This altogether both captures and compliments the spirit of the original track. I'm off to look for more Moth Equals. :)

[MothEquals]

And I'm off to make more Moth Equals :) Thanks AlbertoBalsalm1624.

[Jonkopoppers]

Better than original great job !

[MothEquals]

That's high praise, thanks Jonkopoppers :)

[SomeShows]

"STOP MAKING--"

[MothEquals]

"...That Big FACE!"

[Tighen31305]

Richard is ANGRY RAWR!!!

I love this! Thanks for sharing!!

[MothEquals]

He's angry and yet reveling in it :) Thanks for commenting, Tighen31305!

[visinikiaiznemti]

I like metal... and I like this, good work!

[MothEquals]

Thanks visinikiaiznemti :)

[aeopmusic]

excellent work

[MothEquals]

Thanks for the comment, aeopmusic :)

[eggbertsmith]

This gave me psychological diarrhea.

[MothEquals]

I don't know whether to feel proud or ashamed :)

[TheSenileFeline]

Really good. The beat and synths are, for lack of a better word, delicious.

[MothEquals]

Thanks TheSenileFeline :).

[ahamkara]

Wow, nice work!

[MothEquals]

Thank you ahamkara :).

[Sublimit007]

you capture my favourite part of the original... the synth that waves in at 2:52 gives me euphoria every time, and your remix has a similar affect on me... well done lad

[MothEquals]

I appreciate the comment, Sublimit007, thank you :).

[Elsid1111]

this is absolutely amazing!

[MothEquals]

Nice of you to say so, Elsid1111 :)

[sebrian]

Nice!

[MothEquals]

Thanks!

[LondonGabbaSquat]

that moved me :)

[MothEquals]

Good to hear, LondonGabbaSquat :).

[e1anator]

Another Thumbs up from a hardcore Aphex fan. Brilliant remix.

[MothEquals]

Thank you e1anator, glad to hear it :).

[Stryongo]

I didn't think this track could get any better.

[MothEquals]

Thanks, Stryongo :).

[dubscarab]

Love it.

[MothEquals]

Thanks for the comment, dubscarab :).

[CrimsonPhantom151]

this is good, i think you'll like mine whenever i finish makin it.

[MothEquals]

Let me know when you upload it and I'll check it out. Thanks, CrimsonPhantom151 :).

[supernoodlerage]

very nice !

[MothEquals]

Thank you, supernoodlerage :).

[131eclipse131]

metamorphimusic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MothEquals]

a new word! Thanks 131eclipse131 :)

[dragunov3r]

Very nicely done...

[MothEquals]

Thanks dragunov3r :)

[madinify]

nice work man, i love it :D!

[MothEquals]

Thanks madinify :)

[midinerd]

you should speed it up about 17%#$:)

[MothEquals]

no, you should speed it up about 17% :) I'm happy with it as it is.

[midinerd]

((((((((( ;)

[Itriphus]

No, it should not be sped up whatsoever. I love this. How many remixes have you done?

[midinerd]

man if my old roommate tried to remix this track, he'd just fucking drag and drop it into live and crossfade with squarepusher tracks. thank fucking god you did this and it reminds me of NIN, which we all know is sort of what brought richard to the states (further down the spiral) to begin with... so well done thank you I have goosebumps!

[MothEquals]

Thanks for the positive comment, midinerd :) I appreciate it.

[nadiaenaed]

Fucking immense!! Keep it up dude!

[MothEquals]

Thanks nadiaenaed :) I will.

[almost0never]

Where can I get an mp3 download of this? :(

[MothEquals]

In the 'more info' section there's a link to my account on a website called InternetDJ, and (after a quick registration) you can download all of my music for free. Some of it is in album folders, and some of it (as this track is) is separate. If you have any problems finding or downloading it, just let me know :)

[ChubTubHippo]

Hey there,any chance you could upload it to a file sharing website such as zshare or something because im having some troubles registering :S

[almost0never]

So good Man! Keep up the good Stuff!

[MothEquals]

I'll do my best. Thanks almost0never :).

[MrTobeThePope]

i... i just don't get it out of my head...

great work, as he said, epic.

[MothEquals]

MrTobeThePope, I appreciate the comment :) Thanks.

[MrTobeThePope]

no, thank you :]

[Lulzcaek]

Uber cool dude, epic win.

[MothEquals]

Thanks Lulzcaek :)

[mbv11]

good job

[MothEquals]

Thanks, mbv11 :)

[4TT4CK]

nice !

[MothEquals]

thanks ! :)

[Dyserga]

Good shit, do you do live shows?

[MothEquals]

Not yet. At the moment any shows would simply consist of me standing by a computer and clicking 'play', then dancing along. In the future, if I get equipment that allows me to mess around with the sound live (turntables, kaos pad, looping station etc.), I might be able to put on more of a performance. Thanks for the interest though, Dyserga :)

[peeldown]

i find your work to at least parallel the originals, i constantly listen to what you did with portishead's "only you". i wish i could get a catalogue of your work as to become part of the anthem to which i function

[MothEquals]

Thanks for the high praise, peeldown :) You can download the majority of my music for free from the website featured in the 'more info' section, although it requires a quick registration, so feel free to construct a catalogue of my work for your aural pleasure.

[brh986]

random noise

[MothEquals]

It is noise, but it's in no way random. I know because I made it.

[andyfitz1212]

Yeah you tell him MothEquals, and shutup brh986.

[peeldown]

you must be as pointless and vague as your ridiculous name

[andyfitz1212]

And you should talk? "peeldown" What the fuck does that mean?

[MothEquals]

Sorry guys, this argument is an exercise in futility, and I suspect its cause was a simple misunderstanding (along the lines of - Peeldown, addressing Brh986, posted his comment as a reply to Andyfitz1212, so Andyfitz1212 thought Peeldown's comment was directed at him... voilà). Shake hands and make up :)

[peeldown]

i am sorry andyfitz1212. i did mean to reply to br986 when i replied to a comment of yours.... i retract what i wrote and am admitting i am computer iliterate.

[andyfitz1212]

This is probably one of the coolest songs I have ever heard. It creates great influence for me and this is awesome because I am a guitar player. Awesome job.

[MothEquals]

Thanks andyfitz1212, it's very kind of you to say so :)

[andyfitz1212]

This is sick

[konservburq]

Good job, I like this.

[rdcreferent]

Found this when looking for the original - this was really well done!

[MothEquals]

Thanks, rdcreferent, nice of you to say so :)

[Campier50]

How do i get this on my ipod? is it possible?

[MothEquals]

Most of my music is available for free download at the web address in the more info section, although you may have to register first. Then, as long as you can get mp3s onto your ipod, it should be fine. Thanks for the interest, Campier50 :)

[paulreeder24]

Avid = greedy, lustful Acrid = Bitter sweet taste which could be acid.

the name is an anagram: avrid avid jam shred= richard david james. don't read too much into it haha

[MothEquals]

Well that settles it then! Thanks paulreeder24 :) Ah, people search for deep, concealed meanings in everything, even when there's nothing beyond the superficial.

[theulv]

Could have been made by the king himself... Great!

[MothEquals]

I appreciate it, theulv :)

[alphapaddy]

This is very very well done. Kudos :)

[MothEquals]

Thanks for the comment, alphapaddy :)

[meltyourtv]

What program you usin'?

[MothEquals]

Audacity and Music 2002 at the moment, which has its limitations, but is also easy for someone without much technical know-how.

[meltyourtv]

Wow. I'm downloading this.

[MothEquals]

Download until your heart is content :)

[MothEquals]

Thanks for the insight, FUCKSALT666 :) Avid is more commonly used to mean keen and enthusiastic though, so the use of the word in the title may well denote that definition.

[hanutannamn]

this is so great :D
