[R00TZSP]

I be 'dat pretty motherfucker!

Harlem's what I'm reppin'!

Tell 'em quit the bitchin' we gon' make it in a second.

[MrJokinace]

Richard. RICHARD!!!!! the shop teacher's wife from South Park.

[2121pooper]

Those Mushrooms are getting Hard listening to this song.....we have something in common

[GazpachoDude]

Psilocybe Cubensis and Amanita Muscaria are the mushrooms shown in the video, both of which are potent hallucinogens, in case you were wondering.

[kole081]

my favorite part 2:14 to 2:15

[jarblewarble]

This kind of reminds me of "Close to the Edit" by Art of Noise.

[laughorgomad]

Any LIVE versions?

[eponiaTTree]

this is pitiful, and turns me off penii's and aphex twin at the same time ... gee what a bummer???

[LintonSamuelDawson66]

Beautiful :D

[LintonSamuelDawson66]

Lets put it the easy way this is ambient electronic music. period!

[christoffer323]

This video is depicting some fascinating shit. It is depicting life as a cycle and illustrates it beautifully. Fuck I`m high.

[FlooperMap]

In this modern age, this music would gather peolpe around it, like fire did when it was iceage

[MrMunchhead]

Can this be put into any genre?

I doubt so

[jarblewarble]

My cats love this music. :)

[CrackyChan]

Aphex Twin is IDM, it means Intelligent dance music, means you have to be intelligent in order to comprehend all these sick beats!

[sellout87]

@CrackyChan Ouch!

[jarblewarble]

All of Aphex Twin's music reminds me of all the sounds that I've ever heard in my life, rendered as music. What makes this style so impressive is the way that it combines so many different types of sounds to create music.

[LSDanBird]

I dont give a fuck if other people dont like aphex, i dont know why anyone should care what music other people like or dont like. thats not the point. In my opinion tho, Aphex twin is mind blowing. - (not that anyone should care)

[SuperSheo]

The video is awesome too!

[ugetdownfrmthere]

i've been stuck in a dubstep funk for two weeks.gota go back to some more special times

it's so clean and doesn't overreach into other genres.he's just himself.no shitty industrial or rap vocals.no slammin blinky prodigy malarky.just aphex twin

[MrIcwiener]

@ugetdownfrmthere Say "dubstep" again. I dare you. I double-dare you.

[PatrikBerlin09]

how did I never hear this. my life...just changed

[RandyFust1634]

@PatrikBerlin09 Richard tends to do that to people. :)

[LIGHTRONIX]

youtube comment

[kole081]

Who Argues On Aphex Twin Musix Doesn't Deserve To Be Here.

[gaBehcuoDsuoitneterP]

Aphex Twin nosejob. just sayin. =P

[cookluuue123331]

taikutsu

[NirvanaIndia]

2:05 Kurt Cobain!!

I adore Aphex Twin, he blows up my mind every time I listen to his music/masterpieces.

[FlooperMap]

I thought, before I knew much about aphextwin, that this was something of his first

[matthewcassidy86]

I love lamp!

[defstar65]

8 people can't hear.

[Conqlusion19]

I've an IQ of 470 and ... shut the fuck up

[Peppepoppldoppl]

Why do American teenagers watch this, you're on the other side of the ocean and all of you are trash.

[rorscachbestbud123]

@Peppepoppldoppl Nah, some of us are okay.

[Peppepoppldoppl]

@rorscachbestbud123 How?

[rorscachbestbud123]

@Peppepoppldoppl Cause some of us don't go around on youtube videos, hating on other people, generalizing groups of people, saying rude things, and attacking people for who they are. Some of us are responsible on here. And you calling us trash, my friend, are just stooping to our level of idiocracy that you probably think you know so well. So how about we agree that everyone's equal, stop talking, and listen to this good music?

[Peppepoppldoppl]

@rorscachbestbud123 No.

[Peppepoppldoppl]

@rorscachbestbud123 I don't want to see any more American teenagers with small pricks commenting on every single video on YT about dicks, ballsacks and how much they try to get laid, I'll show you American kids, cross the Atlantic.

[rorscachbestbud123]

@Peppepoppldoppl lol ok, but a good majority of us respect youtube and its users so dont get pissed at the populus, if anything get pissed at the actual people commenting

[Peppepoppldoppl]

@rorscachbestbud123 Has no cause on this.

[Kargaroc]

@Peppepoppldoppl racist is racist is racist is racist

[Peppepoppldoppl]

@Kargaroc Nowhere to be found is racism.

[SuperHappyFunTimeLol]

i want to jack off on these mushrooms and then eat them

[SisterPhister]

Psilocybin Cubensis!



[Hjerrick]

I'm not the only one thinking that this video is kinda dirty am I?

[enjoiyourlunch]

boner boner boner boner boner ballsack boner

[MrUbertubers]

LOL WUT



[TropicalConfederate]

My dick is large.

[Polaf3456]

Mmm shrooms :3

[munchchewy0]

He is my inspiration for making music. I want to hangout with him one day, and make music. Cheers.

[yoginiclare]

Ive  always thought of him as a Modern Magical mushroomed Mozart. x

[michaelmcmichaelson]

calming on a SHIT day

[boxofz]

he really does have a knack for making some of the best songs ever made

[kole081]

I Like Hip-Hop,But Richard Is Pure Genious.

[jimisonthenet1]

I think I have an addiction to Aphex Twin... I'll live with it :)

[Mannex17]

psylocibins hell yeah

[dklustick]

why doesn't Richard make music for the film industry? my life is so much more intensified when I listen to him

[souljaboitellm]

@dklustick lol

[dklustick]

@souljaboitellm

hows that funny? haha

[souljaboitellm]

@souljaboitellm just, Richard doesn't make or won't make music for the film or mainstream music industry. Ones madonna asked him to compose music for her, he agreed only under the terms that she dresses like a pig in a music video. that just sums it up lol. Richard is not the commercialling type, i rather he stays that way too, imo.

[Grendel938]

This song is beautiful.

[fochs1]

WOW



[jungleboards]

@jbluvdub give him a couple hundred years.

[Infares]

@Intelectual95 I'm thinking you took some kind of online IQ test and brute forced your way through it repeatedly until you got something higher than the initial 80 that you got the first time you took it.

[Zandonus]

lol my iq is 65 and i wouldn't post such filthy comments as you people...

[sniperquasi]

@Zandonus IQ isn't really a valid measurement

[WeponOfChoyce]

I'm not angry at them or anything because that would make me like them...but it's just really strange that anyone could bring themselves to believe they don't like this song. I'm sad for them :'(

[marinegirl232]

What's with everyone posting what theire I.Q. is..?

[Dukenukem812]

yum =)

[Laarrshh]

1:39 Jesus of sound

[splendid1000]

@Intelectual95

LOL bleepy bloop? There's no bleepy bloop in this you moron. This is more subtle, ambient work. This is not even classified as true electronic genius. .....Avenged Sevenfold...LOLOL are u serious dude?

Nobody with an iq of 170 would ever dare leave a comment like this. Don't bother trying to prove me wrong, I have a 180 IQ, so I'm smarter than you and I am right anyway sooo...

[xPsychoxClownx]

@splendid1000 that dude was a troll man his fuckin account is deleted and everything

[splendid1000]

Yah I hate morons like that. If it's not the same old bullshit they are used to then it must suck. Their lack of broadened taste only proves their lack of intelligence. Put some vocals over this song and it could be considered ambient rock or a multitude of other genres. Almost all pop, rock and hip hop you hear on the radio now has electronic elements lol, even hard rock bands like Avenged Sevenhold. Only this is way better than 99 percent of that shit, regardless of what you want to call it.

[Kargaroc]

@splendid1000 avenged sevenfold hard rock lololololol

[MetalMatt93]

@splendid1000

>If it's not the same old bullshit they are used to then it must suck

>this is way better than 99 percent of that shit

Lol, enjoy contradicting yourself.

[splendid1000]

@MetalMatt93

Huh ? How is that a contradiction ? Just because I happen to like Aphex Twin more than most mainstream pop doesn't mean I dont enjoy and tolerate many other genres like rap, hip hop, r&b, house, rock, even some mainstream pop. I have a very widespread taste in music covering almost every genre. That's the opposite of contradiction buddy. If I were to say ' I only listen to Aphex Twin because it's better than all other music ' ... that would be a contradiction. I never said that.

[chubblemunch]

@splendid1000 Pretentious much?

[splendid1000]

@chubblemunch

Pretentious because I don't like when people talk shit about an entire genre I happen to really enjoy, when noone asked for their opinion ? Don't dish out what you can't take.

[chubblemunch]

@splendid1000 Pretentious because you think you're better or more intelligent than people just because you listen to a certain genre or artist. I used to be like that too.

[splendid1000]

@chubblemunch

So you're saying its more intelligent to be closed minded ? People who are afraid to step outside of their comfort zone are usually missing out on a lot in life. Most people would agree.

[tlowndes2]

@splendid1000 I think he was taking the piss. I hope so anyway...

[gumbules]

@splendid1000

iq of 180 and yet you still feed trolls

[splendid1000]

@gumbules

Can't geniuses have pets?

[FRIENDSELECTRICNINA]

would love to try the HONGOS, A-TWIN at hi sbest , hahah

[MorganStack]

Brave, brave lizard. Persevering on an impossibly long journey.

[viktorybomb]

@MorganStack This is hilarious

[killiotta1]

now if there were just something innocent that looked like vaginas . . . .

[AphexDreamer]

@killiotta1 And gave acid trips when you ate it :)

[killiotta1]

@AphexDreamer haha, that too. . lmao

[Stewiegriffinist]

7 people are allergic to mushrooms.

[Slang4Art]

@Angel5FromDark And how whiny others are.

[MrROLY1973]

@Slang4Art

hahahahahahahaha 

[TRYER25]

Those are some happy mushrooms=Z

[LukeShetler]

IT'S A COCK!

[DenwarTheoriginal]

Mmmmmmmm........PANCAKES!!!!!

[TheKanifolka]

damn. i can call it MUSIC!! real feelings

[TheWhiteShark100]

[youhadxmyheart]

[rawrberrys]

[missyloulawless]

local lad do wish him the best XXXX ;)

[mikewtp]

Any other Aphex tracks that are similar to this one in placidity (relative to a lot of their other songs) and ambiance? I'm fucking loving this!

[autumnspiders]

@mikewtp You'll want to look at Selected Ambient Works Volumes 1 and 2. 2 particularly has 30 songs, is very slow moving and hit and miss in places, but what must be some of the greatest ambient tracks of all time are on there.

[Merzbowxnoise]

Hey!

There are some parts of Nannou in the vid!

[KingKKevinKev]

first time i listend to afx i ate some mexican shrooms from holland... i will remember that day for eternity!

[nuke97]

Shrooms and Aphex Twin........just stay away from his music videos!! ha ha ha :D

[DysphoricExemption]

sorry your videos didnt come out as planned :[ i still loved it. even if it was darkness, your supporting aphex twin. are all of these edible mushrooms to get u high?

[LightWillIgniteUsAll]

Seems like a fun guy. *badumboompsht* *brick*

[FlipCube]

His musicianship is truly profound 

[sitjar]

What's this about "Mozart of our time"?

Mozart was feckin awful.

[F33bs]

@sitjar Agree, though I don't think Mozard was "awful." Aphex is much more similar to Satie or something. He tinkers with melodies and pushes boundaries.

[sitjar]

@F33bs Ok, "awful" might be overplaying it a bit, "predictable" is a much better adjective as he never strayed out of the box for more than a few bars without resolving any discordances.

I suppose it was the early days of the tempered keyboard but if JS Bach could stumble into Jazz territory 200 yrs before its time, Mozart should at least have thrown in a few bars of Fripp style loops to boulster his (IMO) unworthy reputation as a genius.

[F33bs]

@sitjar Yeah, I know what you mean. Never have been much of a purist classical fan myself. I appreciate minimalism much more, though I do have a soft spot for Chopin.

[sitjar]

@F33bs listen to sofia gubaidulina "Am Rande des Abgrunds".....this piece gets better and better as it goes on, so even if you don't like it at first, give it a chance.

[Obiwan198]

Aphex Grin for the win!

[TheGolem83]

Germany loves R.D.J

[prosurv123]

Awesome. This guy is a genius

[dilps]

Love the music...the real question is where the heck did he come up with the names for his songs?! Epic strangeness.

[theoneandonlyhut]

@dilps i think sometimes it's harder to find a name for a song than actually make one, so maybe he hates to give a song a name^^

[dilps]

@theoneandonlyhut Yeah, depends what you're going for too, I don't know if you knew but off the Richard D. James album, a lot of the song titles are a lot of references from where he was living - Cornwall, so there must be some meanings behind the titles.

[EdwardMarshall1982]

@dilps well pancake lizard = food animal. Donkey rhubarb = animal food. there on the same album and they share a common theme but i just quit worrying about.

[kove00]

@toekneecrass

Everyone can play mozart with the right gear. To compose is a different thing.

[Minus42Zero]

Even without words this says so many powerful things just like xtal. Aphex do that Voodoo that you do so well, he is an amazing composer I agree the Mozart of our time.

[organica420]

he is the god of music of our time and sadly his genius wil only be recognised many years after hes gone

[Voltaire805]

..On God's Spaceship Earth....

[LIGHTRONIX]

he looks like jesus, except with more of that anti-christ vibe...

[HolbergEM]

Best part of the video starts at 2.30. The whole song sounds like the hymn of Nature. Thumbs up!

[olivierpil]

it wouldnt surprise me, this went with the space-craft containing all human evidence of excistence that was launched into infinite space. or at least it should've been! if so, i would be proud for once to be a habitant of planet earth! just like our fellow earthling Richard D. James.

[poorpy134]

Oh man at 3:03 when the strings come in I get so jealous this is such a masterpiece it's amazing. I don't why I get so jealous I'm only 15 but I aspire to make music even better than this one day, but Richard D. James will always be one of my biggest inspirations.

[gothgospel]

shrooms and pancake lizards

[christttophercole373]

YUMMY SHROOMS

[reapvkz1]

Ñam, drugs x)

[ZoeMushroom]

yeahhh =] good job wonderfull

[Lenidoll]

very special flowing in the mind and soul....nice

[DjHyphie]

Another Aphex/RDJ track unheard by me until now. Im not even surpised any more at the amount of just pure genius tracks by this guy. He just pisses them out lol...

[kenney236]

mmm i like that deep sound underneath everything

[broadcastmyass4u]

best ending ever

[SCoNeIRL]

mmmmmm penis

[69crafty]

Are you sure this is called Pancake Lizard? as it`s on the Donkey Rubarb E.P and none of the track`s have name`s , there just one two three and four and this track is four.

[yubbers123]

@69crafty 100% confidant. Look it up.

[Plagueoc]

check again my friend.

[samsungz18]

super video clip :)

[smutyhouse]

Love this song so much. It gets me every time! wish he would make more stuff like this.

[SteveFusionX]

nice vid. i enjoyed that

[GoLeIrO13]

IDM <3

[nshrzg13]

Mmmm shrooooooooooms... *-*

[EoThorne]

Timing isn't everything. I thought it was quite nice to look at, and couldn't see it any other way now. That would be the fault of 'First Impressions' You still made a good one. Cheers

[rrippp]

I <3 psilocybin. But alas, if tke it again I will end up in a padded cell. Oh woe is me! lol

[Scriblington]

Those mushrooms are amazing, goes realy well with the music. Very chilled out.

[otacon451]

damn, prolly shouldnt be watching videos of psylocibe cubensis and amanitas at work
