[catscan1905]

[chicitychyea]

sick live, damn so much equipment probably.

[synthburn]

yeah like a laptop and piece of software and a power adapter, and and an audio cable

[vordkaze]

@synthburn no doubt, space bar status.

[stemface]

Sounds like Bizzy B - Jah Works is played too!

[infinitewisdom21]

One of a kind wish I had the chance 2 see aphex live does anyone know if he tours anymore ?

[FabboTube]

Well, at the moment he tours with Florian Hecker, he's been to Bloc Party 2009.

Next week they gonna perform here in the Netherlands :D and 17 or 18 juli they are performing in Germany at the Melt Festival.

So lucky me :) I c you live in USA :(

[superirish4354]

[ownator]

soon to be in Poland :DDD (august)

[vordkaze]

@infinitewisdom21 ya aphex twin played at coachella the past two years, soo theres a chance u might get to see him again somewhere in the states.

[ezoner75]

What is this that kicks in around :26 ? Amazing sound...

[Vinyltoast]

Hnipian by Wisp

It's an awesome song, you bet your socks.

[PrivateBuckwheat]

Thank you for telling me about that song. I just listened to it and it's amaaazing.

[uqulel2000]

By the way, Wisp is also great artist. And part of his work is free. Not Honor Beats from which this tune is, but its worth every penny.

[AlexCopyPaste]

amazing set, and i had the pleasure to be there. i think nothing will come close to that experience. i got a bad recording of that set, does anyone have a good one?

[danielconant1]

beautiful.

[thinkingoutloud39]

he isinside that mechine? controlling it wile makeing that beautiful sound? this is what i needed to see right now and hear ahhh

[hardsparx]

he is a modern day beethoven...what a genius! AND HE WAS BORN IN IRELAND!!!!!!!

[themysteriouscow]

i thought he was born in cornwall or is that just where he lived

[calumisdead]

Born in Cornwall yeah. Not Irealnd.

[Wishywashy2]

His parents are Irish though - confusion input

[calumisdead]

I thought his parents were Cornish, he was born in Ireland (for whatever reason) but still lived and grew up in Cornwall.

Ah ballz to this. Listen to the music.

[pussymagnetsuperpimp]

he was born in limerick in ireland. but grew up in cornwall

[HorrisNorris]

whoa, looks like an amazing concert

[Kuroiyuki90]

The beginning is sooo beautiful, just hear the harmony, it fits with everything he mixes together... Love it!!!!

[wellmellgell]

is this a cover of way out west?

[Lompican]

Amazing

[romschi]

I WAS THERE!!!!!!!!!

Woohooooo

[uqulel2000]

Ist Wisp and the track from his record "Honor Beats" Great stuff. IDM

[duman012888]

luv da begining

[jel22]

does anyone know the tune that starts at 24 seconds in? or is it all one big tune from the beginning...

[drumr1987]

Equinox - Acid Rain V.I.P(Brakeage Final Chapter Mix) is thrack whit the heavy bassline. Cheers

[bass0ramic]

im loving everything about this vid up until the wet fart bass starting at about 3:33. Anyone know the name of the song in the beggining?

[drumr1987]

Equinox - Acid Rain V.I.P(Brakeage Final Chapter Mix) is thrack whit the heavy bassline. Cheers

[bass0ramic]

im loving everything about this vid up until the wet fart bass starting at about 3:33. Anyone know the name of the song in the beggining?

[pulp61]

The 'wet fart bass' is just the recorders inability to aptly capture such a low frequency

[Nicetry75]

beginning song is Hnipian by Wisp, but i think it's a remix judjing by the AIR RAID SAMPLES! god i love RDJ...

[movingpicture]

those air raid samples are just actual synths in hnipian.

[Nicetry75]

really? Hnipian doesn't seem to have them or those breaks in the begining. I think it was just the end of a mix of another song.

[movingpicture]

oh, you mean the ones in the beginning? my fault mate. yeah, they are air raid sirens. i thought you mean the held synth notes when the drum break ends.

[scrappyrusski]

only retards get thier music on itunes

[MadCircle01]

ha-ha-ha so sure

[bjk555]

this mix ROCKS!

[bjk555]

unfortunately most of his songs on itunes are sold by song not album :(

[APhexCoke]

The Album "Druqs" were great!

[liszts]

lol

[Kuroiyuki90]

I can play Avril 14th on the piano. That's also one of my favorite songs. I agree with you APhexCoke, Druqs is awesome! =)

greetz

[stonejeffrico]

Sorry for my bad english.. I am german ^^

[TwilightElk]

I cant find Wisp music. There was a website where you could download his music, but now only a few are avaiable.

Anything?

[Nicetry75]

Look on iTunes. It has three of his fantastic albums. NTHNDER, Honor Beats (this song is on that one) and Building Dragons-EP. They all rock. If you don't have iTunes, I don't know what to say.

[TwilightElk]

I have iTunes, and I have seen his work on it, but...I don't wanna buy unless I download it first.

I download music and if I like it, i tend to buy the albums.

[Nicetry75]

You will absolutly NOT be dissapointed. Wisp is all the sweet melodies of Mu-ziq and Aphex Twin along with the sick beats of Squarepusher and Venetian Snares. Definetly check out Honor Beats. That's his best album in my opinion.

[oOPAIOo]

nice

whats the name of this song

[Nicetry75]

Hnipian by Wisp

[Hennesey89]

techno-mozart

[kabelstege]

does AT still do music?

[TwilightElk]

Oh ya, absolutely. Rumors have it he's playing under a new alias: The Tuss. It's true, do some research :) If it is him, then he's making even better music than ever :D

[kabelstege]

fantastic!!! Thanks alot

[jazzrigal]

He's still under Aphex Twin as well though cos i'm going to see him under that name in a couple of weeks!

[TwilightElk]

Lucky!! Where?

[jazzrigal]

He's playing at the Warehouse Project in manchester, uk. Gonna be sweeeeeeet! Also, if you don't know him already check out Otto Van Shirach, i'm seeing him at same place same night and its going to be masseeeeeeeev!

[Nicetry75]

I thought the tuss was tow guys, neither of which is RDJ. Though, I bought Rushup Edge, and I must say, it sounded A LOT like him!

[Kuroiyuki90]

No, that's not what I meant, I really do love his other works too, I didn't say that I only like druqs, you know. And yes, I can be crazy sometimes...

greetz

[blystyryng]

check out some official comments on the movies he's done with chris Cunningham about this::: tuss is one of his pseudonyms, he's been producing music not as Aphex pretty much all the time.

[edsoad]

hahahah he just says hello to some random guy

[maccrimbo]

simply amazing!!

[Nicetry75]

Gotta love Wisp!!! Hnipian is my favorite song by him!!!

[TwilightElk]

Sound-wise, this is really well done compared to most YouTube concert videos... Good job :)

[thecomalilies]

aphex twin is a fucking genius. he needs to put out a new cd. drukqs is a masterpiece. who can hang with aphex twin even at all?

[YellowStoned]

He's putting out more stuff as AFX. Look up 'Chosen Lords'. That's his latest release...well, his latest release on CD. I think he's put out some stuff on vinyl.

[movingpicture]

the synth on that is a beauty!

[Nicetry75]

Favorite Wisp song! (1st Half)

[fbfiveohv3]

i'm a huge fan. if richie james ever hits the states... i'll drive up to 8 hours to see him do a set of anything at all.

[silvastomp]

amazing!

One thing I'll never seem to get and thats what producers do which are also DJ's...they play OTHER peoples music when its actualy them (as producers) which are *mixing* it. AFX could do about 50 shows with his unreleased material alone. Wouldn't you all rather listen to Aphex Twin music when you go to see AFX live?

[GPXXX]

Aphex Twin still considers himself part of the techno/idm/rave/electronics/wh­atever scene. A scene as some may say he has outgrown.

I think this is a good thing AFX plays music of other people. After all these years he still knows wehere he's coming from and he's not stuck up his own arse.

[HorrisNorris]

id say he went out of the 'techno/idm/rave/electronics/w­hatever scene' from around i care because you do till drukqs, but hes made a return with the analord series

[manchead]

wat are the second and third song titles,aint half bad!

[4m3rik4nzb4dd4zz]

OMG! SO BEAUTY!

[fusionfreq]

afx is remixing 'hnipian' by artist 'wisp' in the first half. awesome.

[DickyB1979]

I seen Aphex Twin once and DJ AFX once. And I have to say the live show for Aphex Twin was more like a weird ceramony with people in robes and shit lol. DJ AFX was the tits.

[12kredline]

thanks for the vid..just left me with a big smile while listening to it. I couldn't imagine what it would be there to see it live. ty!

[mhskpl]

could I know title of this track? quality is not so good... mainly because of bass...

[ipris]

a fantastic show.

[fusionfreq]

afx is remixing 'hnipian' by artist 'wisp' in the first half. awesome.

took me yonks to find that out. glad i did tho. wooo hoo. would like his remix tho! anyone got it.?!? record off the desk from melt?

[sisforawesome]

lol, it's not a remix. that's the original track.

[FedjaM]

no. its a remix. specially at the end of the track.

[Nicetry75]

What do u call the begining with the frickin air raid samples?

[fusionfreq]

where's richard playing this year? any fests? please respond.

[I0Take0Drukqs0]

aphex twin is playing at ATP somewhere in england, in december at a butlins or something. i do not know exactly the plans but i know there will also be portishead and a load of doom metal (lol) earth etc

[Dagibit]

I'd like to know how much you (and particularly he) plan and rehearse for these things.

[twintron]

I have seen AFX twice and both times he played from inside a childs wendy house. Richard is the best!

[oneillnufc]

That comment made me laugh, i love aphex, where did you see him?

[fusionfreq]

when i hear aphex and square pusher live there are always these extra special moments in the set ...songs that you think you already know that are 'not on a cd' that send your heart running off and your mind feeling like" holy shit musical dejavu".

[Sikq]

Aphex is my personal god... but i must admit i had no chance experiencing his music on concert... so i have to get along with videos and dream of it...

[GrynHelix]

the best electroinic artist ever and always will be

[MCERFUS]

he rarely has come to the US maybe 3 or 4 times, i want to see him so bad, ive seen squarepusher and autechre but not aphex... bummer, someday..

[neonmeat]

Old hat. Aphex threw in the towel when Venetian Snares came to town. He knew he couldn't match the big Canadian in temrs of full on live performances.

Aphex in now the grandaddy. His last gig i saw at the Triptych last year was mostly shite, no cutting edge whatsoever, i was v.disappointed.

[thecomalilies]

venetian snares is a computer nerd. aphex twin is a composer.

[weatherkop]

HA! It's not jungle wars, it's STYLE WARS. Snares will never have the depth of style Aphex has. Venetian snares already played himself out with 10 albums in one year, all the same shit. Muziq is better than V Snares among many others.

[chutcheese]

Yeah... aphex twin is a FAR FAR superior composer than v snares. just because he plays faster tempos and mixes up time signatures like crazy doesn't mean he's fitting those elements together perfectly. Don't get me wrong... I really like his music... i'm a fan but when it comes to producing some brilliant compositions it belongs to aphex or squarepusher.

[sereneserenade]

I agree, I love V Snares though.

[jhvirring]

Haha that guy would be me, asking for Fabbo who's filming for sunglasses while they are on the top of my head :P

[daytripper1987]

and i was there, in the middle of the crowd..

was fucking amazing..

[metalslugzorz]

Richard Owns Faces and Melts Minds, I hope in plays in CA soon or ever i wouldnt know.

Anyone know how Where to Find out when hes doing a show.

[syn82]

He hardly plays in England let alone the US although I think he has done some US dates in the past.

[s1480472]

Does anybody know the name of the first track?it is a brilliant song

[spaceb]

probably one of the God-knows-how-many songs he only plays live and'll never release. I don't think he wastes much time coming up with track names anyway ;)

[wizp]

Hnipian... :]

[Romaindeud]

From the excellent producer, sir WISP hehe :)

[Digifruitella]

what is the track title?

[toberborgan1]

Did anyone else notice something significant about minute mark 1:16? the Guy in the audience talking fits pefectly with the music.

[zupamen]

good-good-GOOOOOD!!!

=D

[SoulLab]

00:20; Saturday; 15.07.2006 on the Melt!Festival06 near Deassau/Germany. I was there and he really bombed my brain out

[BroodjeGezond]

[heartmiser]
