aphex twin - lichen [reworked by wisp]

[nylertuckles]

it's just alright... like wisp

[phiellaep]

i really like wisp but i'm not sure he should have tried to remix such a perfect song...

[ExcessiveSpareTime]

...Well, I can see why Shako-Pani likes him so much. Other than that, this guy's just... okay.

[Conqlusion19]

damn thats very good

[JustMeNoOther]

Excellent work !!!! I liked so much !!! could you pass me the original one in mp3, please?

Aphex one of the bests - remakers of he, the ones who most know how to do it, to not commit a crime against electronic music =)

[RugalReturns]

this is not apex twin

[eighty4toads]

Thanks for destroying a great an original peice of music! Wanker.

[reyjll]

@eighty4toads I love remixes. You still have the original to listen to... I wouldn't hate. The only sad thing is if you heard this version first without hearing the original.

[xinjinbei]

Sounds a little like Come On My Selector by Squarepusher.

[reyjll]

@xinjinbei Yeah there's a sample and break beats from SP.

[reyjll]

@xinjinbei Yes, there are samples and break beats from that song.

[djugel]

yeah.. when I first heard Wisp I thought it would bring me back to the old happy hardcore days... Good happy go lucky silly rave.. but no..

meh,, is right.

[djugel]

this is a terrible version...

[otacon451]

@djugel yea i find wisp kinda meh

[dennis090]

great remix!

[mdevelde]

Ah this is a terrible remix!

The added sounds doubling the melody are so out of tune to the original it's horrible.

The original isn't in 12tet tuning, Wisp should've taken the trouble to match the original microtuning..

[ubmilitant]

@mdevelde your a music snobbery bellend

[slackmaster2000]

Lichen is an awesome track, but Brian Eno still owns him; AFX should have made more tracks like Lichen but he didn't

[DjHyphie]

@slackmaster2000 Listen to Rhubarb, Blue Calx, Stone In Focus.... These tracks are other really chilled out amazing track by Aphex Twin, and a must for any ambient music lover, or a must for people who like good music.

If you isten to them on youtube, be sure to add &fmt=18 to the end of the address bar for higher quality :).

[sheatheman]

i saw wisp live. such a good set. i wasn't that into him but when he started his set everyone gravitated towards the set. good show.

[ertaser]

gotta love this man

[AFXTODD]

Nice remix. Added some nice parts but didnt kill the original.

[windowlicker1]

nice

[Dantso]

sounds like wisp, aphex twin, squarepusher and flashbulb put together :)

[martyn748]

@Dantso Thats because it the same guy, "Richard D James" he is a god!!!!!

[Dantso]

@martyn748 Wisp is not RDJ mate, it's Reid Dunn from Niagara Falls, New York.

[Dantso]

@martyn748 if you meant that

[asiancowstamp]

this is pretty nice and inventive. it keeps the original feeling of the song well enough and adds the sort of pseudo-euphoria drum track. i think it would be a lot better if the beat were switched up a bit, more like aphex does; its a bit to driving and controlling whereas aphex uses the beat in conjunction with the other sound and they work together. but i guess thats just me :)

[DjHyphie]

@asiancowstamp your tottalty rcorrect i agree with what you said. That drum beat is actully a really poor choice for this track. I like the ideas here, but he could have done WAY better with the drums... thats a standard drum loop found in many sample packs... The way Aphex makes the drums to go with the music so it all works in harmony is simply sublime :).

[carolinesimone]

nice find :)

[MrTaranius1]

GENIAL :-)

[cirqueduprick]

i always thought katabatic by wisp sounded a shitload like lichen...

[flambadsilly]

wisp wisp bleh

[kyledrums]

meh, it's decent

[kurtisblow3000]

is this really wisp and not just some dude who mixed come on my selector and lichen?

[TheGreenSpangler]

No this really is Wisp, he re worked 4 songs off of Selected Ambient Works Volume 2 all of them are pretty danm good!

[odigje]

yes check the site recommended :)

[DaimosRakial]

This 1 reminds me of The day of night...its a silent hill soundtrack.... also reminds me of Staires of fire just the same by Akiro yomato (or however u spell it lol)

[thevillagehoodllem]

very nice its like a remix of the greatest song

[PantherFox]

No, it's not. The original is far superior to this, but that isn't to say that this is bad.

[Aphex1son]

not bad at all

[Jonnygraham24]

'lichen' is in my opinion his best song, it grows on u its just the most peaceful sounding thing, feels like its from another world...never get tired of this gem

[PrivateBuckwheat]

I love lichen so much... It's like an orchestra from another planet playing their superior instruments in simple, beautiful harmonies... or maybe it's just a really good ambient song....

[googlekopfkind]

PLEASE can anyone add the original lichen of aphex twin on youtube ???PLS

[kantenbaer]

i'm really suprised it's not on youtube already, i'll upload it today

[kantenbaer]

Ok, I can't! YouTube won't let me due to copyright issues! Sorry!

[McGuyvers]

Yeah there were a few... also one with an "bright UFO light.." in a blue sky aperience.. in a Forgotten American state/village.. with people talking/wondering what kind of thing they see. quit cool!

[Soriphen]

There's a way to upload music by just changing the pitch of the song to -3.0 using Audacity.

[LolBananaPhone]

Really now?

[Soriphen]

@LolBananaPhone You can also just sign some form or w/e and add it without any modification. That's how I got Alberto Balsalm in one of my videos.

[zdsrtgnzetmyet]

i thought youd like to know that richard doesnt write most of his music, he gets me to make the majority of it.

[McGuyvers]

r u willow Teh Wips!?? _0.0_ .. (=

[zdsrtgnzetmyet]

_0.0_

[DeRex9]

Richard is a genius, I like most of his work.

[McGuyvers]

Anyway.. good work from WISP!

I do a Japenese dog bark myself rightnow!

[Limperich]

how does it sound, when a japanese dog barks@u ?

[McGuyvers]

Whaf Whaf... grrrrrrrr!

[Limperich]

oh ... i thougt it would sound a little different ... maybe a little funnier. ..

... i don´t like dogs.

but i like this song

[Wiggles2000]

Ye I'm pretty sure that little "uhoh" sample is from squarepushers Come on my selector. Anyone else recognize it? and no... this isn't bad imo... this is fuckin great, and so is the original

[klaas123456789123456]

yeah I recognize it from the come on my selector but maybe squarepusher sampled it from somewhere else?

[Wiggles2000]

ye i was thinking that... it'd be pretty mental if they both took the same sample without hearing eachothers mixes though o.o

or maybe he just got that japanese dog to bark, and recorded it

[McGuyvers]

I hear it in thousend jungle/breakcore trackzz and hip hop thingzz uhoh! not a big mystery...

JB's James Brown i guess! +)

[48kbrain]

@klaas123456789123456 think!

[paranapoleon]

its bad the original is 10000000000 better

[Limperich]

das Original is zu lahm ...

[myelin8]

nice if you have more of these tracks please upload!

[playerthe2nd]

dude you can get the ep free on wisp's site, along with nearly ALL his albums

[BMS1974]

Beautiful, it seems another synchronisity in my life, after arguing with loved ones over trivialities(but still important enough to move me), so often I then get esoteric freedom from things like this.

[bluelimelight2]

This made my day better ^^

[GCLU]

nice beat to it, has its own sense of ambience

[Rubmanation]

indeed

[johnhalloween]

[HorrisNorris]

[maccrimbo]

[AphexTwinAFX]

Reid Dunn from Niagara Falls, New York
