  • What is it with this song? It's so serene and tranquil yet simultaneously, lonely and desolate. It makes me crave company.

  • Takes me back to the good times in the early nineties when coldcut would play this track on their show, solid steel on kiss fm. They were the best times.

  • Ok - decided... taken me about 10 years but ... favorite track of all time.

  • This makes me want to play Minecraft.

  • When this music came out I was glad music could be about exploring sound and possibilities of emotions, and not just conveying trite expressions or dumb things people say that make you squirm.

  • the theme of every chinatown.

  • youtube comment.

  • lets robotrip

  • I heard it in Afraid Of monsters ! Fantastic : >

  • the dound...it's like....getting inside my head...

  • This makes my chest feel extremely empty, I just cry at this song and don't know why, it's a lingering feeling of dread and happiness at the same time, this is truly ecstasy in musical form.

  • This is by far my most favorite song ever. No matter when or where, I always feel completely at ease when I hear it. It even makes me doze off when I have trouble falling asleep. This song is pure magic in all of its simplicity. Beautiful.

  • @6Fritzzzzz perfectly said

  • i member hearing this sont when i was like... fuckin 6. couldnt stop crying.

  • Therapy for my mind... can't describe it better.

  • can't stop taking these pills man

  • @TheHeartlessMaster Afraid of Monsters? :D

    ~T

  • @Tthedragon

    yep :D

  • @TheHeartlessMaster just cant stop taking them

  • This is a musical piece, not a "song".

  • i was at an airplane window hearing this song, through headsets. it was better than drugs

  • @everynickistaken1 exactly! aphex twin is great music for the airport experience.

  • @Mocib but the question is then what were the words in the original, unaltered vocal sample?

  • new world disorder 9 never enough teaser trailer brought me here

  • Comment removed

  • I want to curl up inside this song, but I can't, because it's already managed to curl up in the empty space of my chest.

  • @KittybellChan You fucking suck.

  • @KittybellChan Saying retarded shit dosent make you deep, it makes you look like a retard.

  • @Darthshepius Just as saying trollish things doesn't make you look tough, it makes you look like a troll.

    I was merely expressing how the song made me feel, nothing deep or special about it that, just some silly thoughts that came to mind while listening.

    And let's not fight and just enjoy the music, after all I like Aphex Twin, you most likely like Aphex Twin if you're here, so why pester people for enjoying the music?

  • Does anyone know what they girl is saying? It sounds something like, "pop (or bop) your eyes out...pop, pop no one....".

    I'm sure that's not it though. Anyone?

  • @x24z26 There are no words at all. It's just really short vocal samples modified by effects.

  • I have over 800 plays of this song... to me it just says "everything's good"

  • why cant i buy this song off itunes?

  • This song makes me think of things which have haunted man from its very beginning. The terrifying nature of existence.... The most serene forrests and landscapes... and the isolation of being the first human to be alive...A world seemingly full of things just like you... but completely different.....Oh, shit did i just off on a stoner rant? My bad. But seriously, this song is fucked up in the most beautiful way possible.

  • @XxxHelicesxxX no worries brah i hear u

  • @XxxHelicesxxX You are probably the only one on this comment board with decent taste in music, you see? All the other users here listen to fucking Deadmau5, Daft Punk and watch piece of shit anime shows.

  • @TheClarenceter What's bad about Daft Punk?

  • @FenixiaDuo It's self explainatory, anyone who likes Daft Punk is physically capable of listening to this, a bit of an outcast, original and underground part of music; is MUCH different from Daft Punk, if someone just listens to this and at the same time puts their ears to Daft Punk. It's fucking amazing how Humans can be this dumb; they get offered the most original, stable and complex types of GOOD music, and then they listen to Daft Punk and compare it, too. And Death Note? FUCK.

  • @TheClarenceter I think Daft Punk is very original. There wouldn't be the types of Techno, Dance, or Electronica music of today without Daft Punk's influence. Although, Im not taking anything away from Aphex Twin, the stuff that he makes is some of the most original things, but I wouldn't necessarily call it Complex music. It's fairly minimalist, but that's the best thing about it.

  • @FenixiaDuo Ambient is usually minimalist, ALOT of the WORKS of Aphex Twin is complex, as a musical genre it's not, remember that minimalist music is not too normal to NOT be referred to as complex music, rather not as a genre, but why and how it is like that, heard of La Monte Young, Steve Reich and William Basinski? They all make minimalist music, and it's far from "normal" music. Complex in the GENRE includes bands and musicians like Sun City Girls, Captain Beefheart etc.

  • @TheClarenceter I would think a complex ambient group would be something like Boards of Canada, where their use of nostalgic type soundscapes and various samples makes so many different layers of sound. Or even Autechre where you have no idea how they make those sounds (even though simply warping tracks can make those sounds). I just find minimalist music to be beautiful, not 'complex'. for complexity in song-writing, I turn to Post-Rock groups like Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

  • @FenixiaDuo Yes, but GY!BE is rather much more of already simple minimalist musical pieces put together so avidly and in such large numbers that it finally leads them to complexity in the genre itself. Autechre and Boards of Canada is mainly complex ambience, if you choose to address it that way.

  • @TheClarenceter Well it seems we've come to an agreement then :) At least we have love of the same type of music. I actually write stuff like GY!BE and The Album Leaf

  • @FenixiaDuo I never dis-agreed or agreed with anyone, I'm here to tell you the truth and even the depth about whatever you may bring up. Content?

  • @TheClarenceter Well it's all subjective, but Im done with that part of the conversation. Just check my profile for content.

  • @FenixiaDuo So, people who act out these acts (listening to Daft Punk and the latter of shit), will never actually get the point to music made with effort.

  • @TheClarenceter I enjoy listening to Daft Punk, see. The one's who doesn't get music are the ones who can't seem to get into their heads that music is an artform. And as such, it's conceived differently by the listeners. You don't think Daft Punk puts effort into their music? Everyone has their own tastes, what makes a true music lover is being able to look at multiple yet very different types of music and still manage to find some sort of joy in them. Oh, and don't get me wrong. I love APX.

  • @Macz338 APX???? Most AFX fans do not choose to like things such as Daft Punk, simply because we do not want to down-grade ourselves to a less intelligent group of people. Ignorance isn't the key thing here. I'm sure many of us have gone through there music that requires no thinking or thought what-so ever.

  • @PatrolTard You're talking about the REAL fans, and not the litter of shit that you mostly find on the Internet.

  • @Macz338 What the hell is APX? I dearly hope you're not trying to say AFX, because AFX is not a nick of "Aphex Twin", two completely different names for the same artist, just like Bradley Strider and Polygon Window. Daft Punk is nowhere near Aphex Twin, it is a humongous turd of mainstream bollocks. Just like 90% of those who "listen" to Aphex Twin these days, you are a normal little douchebag that believes you can achieve classifications and titles or personas out of nowhere.

  • @TheClarenceter I believe I speak decent English, not that that is the topic of this discussion. I never compared the two, I simply said that I don't believe that Daft Punk in itself is bad music. You're the one bring it up. For that matter, I don't listen to Aphex Twin to achieve anything but the sheer pleasure of listening to good music. That you're pretentious not to believe that your choice in music is in fact the right one and that the rest are wrong has nothing to do with me.

  • @Macz338 Sheer pleasure is the right thing to attend to in music, if you are rather willing to put feelings into music, the mind is another way of getting the "pleasure" as you describe it; from music, my REAL point on here is that Aphex Twin is a far more advanced artist in music that Daft Punk, Daft Punk may have had some traces of it, but they are long gone due to exploitation and the mainstream. If you may think that Aphex Twin is too original and "pleasuring" in his own genre....

  • @Macz338 Cont: Try Squarepusher, Boards of Canada (only sometimes), Deathprod, perhaps? There's ALOT of good music, if you just look for it YOURSELF.

  • @TheClarenceter I am constantly looking for good music myself and I'm already an avid fan of Boards of Canada. I never said Daft Punk are anywhere near as good as Aphex Twin for that matter, just that I don't view them as shitty artists. Nor can they be compared, Aphex Twin creates a unique atmosphere within his music whereas Daft Punk is mostly dance music and the like.

  • @Macz338 Brought up in a valid argument, Daft Punk IS comparable to Aphex Twin. Try out Deathprod if you like Ambient.

  • @Macz338 Music usually starts with the work of a genius, it continues with an original listener, it then continues by the insecure ones who choose to copy everything they do and after that even more inferior people start doing the same fucking bullshit. Your English sucks, by the way; just because you are Danish.

  • @FenixiaDuo of*

  • thank you Aphex Twin

  • I found this song from the movie Manic. What a great film.

  • genius 

  • The transition at 4:57 makes me sick it's so beautiful.

  • a few years ago, i was watching movies on sundance and manic came on, and my jaw dropped when this track played in the beginning. it was an infinite win.

  • @poscam24 that just happened to me last night the exact same way. same channel and everything.

  • @trickster0zero what this guy means?...what channel?

  • I fucking love this song so much

  • Does anyone remember the animated version of this which involved ripples or something of that sort? I need reminding. It was mindblowing!

  • @daemocoles Do you mean On? youtube.com/watch?v=B-US91WU8z­A

  • @tonyttt31 nah it was a digital animation, I think it was white boxes with ripples undulating through them. It was perfect for this tune - it would have passed off as minimalist art!

  • I'm tucked away in a corner behind the sofa and i"m still afraid

  • deaaaaaaaaaaaad jaaaa 

  • that suX -.-

  • reminds me of fallout or half life 2.... hl2 more tho. 

  • @theguyindawheelchair lol. Why did you remove it. I'm sure we aren't the only ones.

  • I played this at my friends party and everyone stopped dancing and opened the windows with inverted eyes.

  • This music is artistically inspiring to me.

  • After awhile, I heard "Fuck you" and "Fuck yourself" and "jizz jizz jizz jizz jizz..." I love this song.

  • this song was implemented sooooooooo well in Manic.

  • i eat my chinese food to this song.

  • great song..hypnothic...

  • wow, apparently this buy below me, solidfreak123, wants to know what err noises play when u turn the power off in the half-life mod... wtf does that have to do with this song?

  • @ilikemitchhedberg Yeah, I didn't know what the fuck I was doing. I posted that late at night, I was tired and didn't really care what I posted.

  • Comment removed

  • Listening to this song, I think to myself, "what have I become?"

  • @MarioBrosClassic Fuck off, don't even dare talk about death note crap here.

  • Comment removed

  • I swear to god, i think i just fell through the floor while trying to hold onto my body.

    And thats what this song made me feel like.

  • This is my favorite Aphex Twin track. i find it amazingly soothing. I can--and do--listen to it over and over.

  • Dude, this was in the movie Manic. It made the the show far more realistic and slightly creepy. It was awsome!

  • the look of the aphex logo is really nice

  • Does the lyrics say poke your eyes out?

  • @airefc

    That was frightening

  • @nekonuzze:

    no not that one the one that everyone was saying sounded like it was in a disney movie

  • @XxxHelicesxxX Well Z Twig IS the song nekonuzze was talking about. Someone talked about how it would fit in a Disney movie, then it kinda "went around". But I highly doubt any tracks from Selected Ambient Works Volume II or any other song from Mr. Aphex Twin's albums would ever appear in any Disney movie or cartoon. Ever. Wouldn't really fit.

  • this album is da shit I love this and radiator and another track im forgetting... the one which was in GTA4

  • @XxxHelicesxxX

    You mean B+W Stripes (Z Twig)?

  • I just fell through 20 different dreamscapes listening to this.

  • just purely beautiful

  • "I really need to take these pills."

  • @ShadicoTheHedgehog "i cant stop taking them... FUCK!"

  • @ShadicoTheHedgehog Thank god 6 people were thinking what I was thinking.

  • @ShadicoTheHedgehog I knew I remember this track on fonzythedog's walkthrough of afraid of monsters dc!

  • @ShadicoTheHedgehog Afraid of monsters reference

  • @GORDENFRECHMEN No shit, Napoleon.

  • are you calling him a midget or a planner in the winter

  • @ShadicoTheHedgehog *door opens*

    Huh?

  • @ShadicoTheHedgehog "Damn it!"

  • @ShadicoTheHedgehog "I can't stop taking them."

  • @ShadicoTheHedgehog Oh my god. I played afriad of monsters (scarier than nightmare house 0_o) and i was watching how to survive nuclkear fallout or somthing, i heard this song, deja vu.

  • aphexastic

  • I SAW THE FACE OF ALLAH TO THIS SONG

  • I had sex to this song. It was cold and isolated.

  • @dwaynebenzie33 sounds like you masturbated to this song

  • @dwaynebenzie33 LMFAO

  • @dwaynebenzie33 nice.

  • @dwaynebenzie33 fucking geeza!

  • @dwaynebenzie33 That sounds horrible. Thanks for the warning.

  • @dwaynebenzie33 try drugs

  • @dwaynebenzie33 I had a girl leave me because I played this so often. She was a Phish fan, so she can go to hell anyway. Fucking bitch.

  • @stick1000 lol

  • @dwaynebenzie33 whoa

  • @dwaynebenzie33 ahahaha

  • @dwaynebenzie33 sitting alone in the dark and fapping to some porn and people you wish you could have sex with isn't actually having sex.

    Keep your unwanted fantasies of what you wish you had to yourself.

    You don't see me talking about what I enjoy, do you?

  • @unionofonion It's quite funny considering how you know absolutely nothing about the guy. Furthermore, it was a response to a popular Youtube fad in which people would reply to a song with: "I had sex to this song." Not actually being a statement in itself, rather a parody of all the dickheads posting comments like that. Also, what's the point in getting all hostile? We're all here to enjoy some great music, if you wish to spark arguments, or just act like I dick then I suggest you go outside.

  • @Macz338 People who make parodies of parodies, mostly boring internet memes and all of the human get together shit should not actually listen to this.
