Aphex Twin - Heliosphan [HD]

The super-talented, legendary composer/producer Richard D. James, as Aphex Twin, released Heliosphan to the world in 1992 as a track on the double LP "Selected Ambient Works 85-92." A superb example of electronic music, this soulful and expansive piece is as beautiful and as relevant today as it was when it was first released.

Here I present a slowed down version of the song. It's as if a record were played at about 2/3 speed, with a bit of compression and reverb. This is one of my favourite songs, and by prolonging and deepening it, I intend to make it a bit more relishable, especially for those who are already familiar with it. I intend no copyright infringement; clearly, this is not a commercial offering. If any representative from the relevant record companies, or of course RDJ himself, asks me to remove this from youtube, I will do so. I have the highest respect for RDJ as a musician, and I encourage anyone who loves this song to go ahead and purchase the full double album on which it appears, because every song in the album is mint. I've bought it a couple of times myself!

The picture in the video is from http://mariellaazzopardi.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/sunset_rainbow_by_msaric... I found it via a google image search.

All that being said, I hope you will relax and enjoy the vibes. I know I do!
