aphex twin as [bradley strider] - bradley's beat

[boinghd]

what the heck is that synth sound he always uses?? like a chorus of trumpets or brass... you know the one. I just need to know what the hell it is. It's lke his trademark sound.. so chill

[Caharpuka]

Yes

[viktorybomb]

Jizd ~„~

[boinghd]

@viktorybomb 8;)

[bassmattes]

is this the tetris theme on acid? it is dreat anyway!

[aeopmusic]

The is probably the first 120 BPM thump, thump dance track ever made.

[moonwalker915]

cool

[Conkern65]

Ehhh, the most generic work by Richard D James, My least favourite :(

[LySeRgIa2]

@Conkern65 Not trying to be a dick, but what songs do you like most? Aphex Twin songs, most of them were mostly clubby but complex, Polygon Window was a lot like Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works but to me some of the songs were even more ambient.

Richard D James as Bradley Strider seems something in between Polygon Window and Aphex Twin if really think for a second; this is like acid techno, house music, not super dancy but not way ambient.

Wouldn't say generic, not overly complex

[Conkern65]

@LySeRgIa2 My Favourite songs by Aphex twin are, in this order, 15: Ventolin (Salbutamol Mix) 14: Italic Eyeball 13: Quoth 12: Equation 11: Beetles 10: Rhubarb 9: Humanoid Must not escape 8: Bu Bu Bu Ba 7: Fantasia 6: Digeridoo 5: Melodies From Mars 10 4: Mount Saint Michel + Saint Micheal's Mount 3: Pac-Man (Original Mix) 2: Rushup I Bank 12 1: GAK 1

[LySeRgIa2]

@Conkern65 ah, most of your list doesn't match mine lol.

Gak 1, Digeridoo, Fantasia, Quoth, and Italic Eyeball, were some the songs you liked that I liked. Most music that I like is usually more industrial.

I can see why you're not so much into Bradley's Beat though LOL. It's a little to chill and not quite spastic enough, makes sense.

[Conkern65]

@LySeRgIa2 I like his chill stuff too, I loved SAW 85-92 and SAW 2, In fact, SAW 2 was the second album I bought of his, next to the Come to Daddy EP. Looka at my List, Bu Bu Bu Ba, Rhubarb, Beetles, do you not consider those "chill"?

[Conkern65]

@Conkern65 I revoke my entire bit about this, I love this song!!!!!!!!!!!

[brauliomorrison]

Me encantan todos los proyectos de Richard!! muy bueno ;)

[imslicc]

[angryclaudespeed]

woah where the fuck have i been i never knew about this little side project or whatever you want to call it im so out of the rdj loop nowadays

[moclark]

bring that rare shit!

[medula007]

sick sick sick sick tune  asma

[8bitmeta]

love it. been trying to track this down for a while

[strawhattedman]

Thanks, kantenbaer, another Aphex record I have never been able to find I now know. Doesn't sound like anything else I can think of by RDJ... In fact, I would never have guessed this was made by the same man who wrote SAW II. But somehow it was...

[depechemodevilla]

wrote saw 2?

[breakyrself]

yeah, crazy eh? many people don't know that afx wrote the script for one of the films in the Saw series

[strawhattedman]

Haha. Er, yeah, he's written dozens of horror flicks. Most set in Cornwall, I believe. Maybe.

[HappyTreeHomie]

i think he meant S(elected) A(ambient) W(orks) 2

hehe...^^

[jontykint]

im not so sure

[jontykint]

he wrote saw 17

[ollywally74]

SAW = Selected Ambiant Works :)

Aphex is the MAN

[zwerty007]

@ollywally74 Ambient, Ambiance is a feeling of a place, but ambience is the music.

[ollywally74]

@zwerty007 I wrote ambient with a typo, not ambiance ;)

[zwerty007]

@strawhattedman Its amazing that just by saying wrote instead of made people think he scripted the MOVIE saw lol

[depechemodevilla]

This sounds pretty sick, wished he would have kept doing more chill acid shit

[SexBirdCake]

I'm pretty sure this is no acid though.

[djgiga]

this is 100% acid

[sportsfiend12]

is there a huge difference between acid and electronica? cos i thought aphex twin was either electronica or techno unless they're the same thing :S

[djgiga]

acid is an early form of electronic music. AFX does that style alot as well as the rephlex label.

[reyjll]

I don't think Aphex Twin cares for labels for his music. Like a true artist he just creates without any thouht of his impact on the world. And labels imply limitations, but as we all know he has none. But I do still just call it electronic music because I think it sums it up without getting into the details.

[sportsfiend12]

@reyjll agreed, i'd rather folk just enjoy the tunes rather than arguin over specific music genres and stuff

[SexBirdCake]

No it really isn't. Love it though

[vennnnnnn]

wow thanks!

nice song!
