So umm. . . yeah not really sure how to start this very overdue message that’s late even by my standards of procrastination. First and foremost, I’m still alive. Sorry for taking 5 years to make that known. I’ve got several legitimate reasons and countless acceptable excuses, but it’s still shitty nonetheless. I used to have a few real life friends subscribed to the channel. They could have done me a solid and pointed that one out in chat, but hey, it’s really no one’s fault but my own. If something tragic happens in the future though it’s 100% on them to relay the message lol. Will try to keep this update as brief as possible. Reasons I stopped uploading: -copyright strikes -Misdiagnosed medical issues -Trying to salvage a broken marriage -Lost access to the PC with my files and editing software Things that have since changed: -A divorce that ended up being good for everyone in the long run. -A better late than never ASD (Aspergers) diagnosis that explained so many things in my life. -negotiated the safe return of my ancient Alienware. Most (if not all) of the files were located and a backup performed. She’s in rough shape though and will likely require gutting in the near future. My house is basically the Parris Island for electronics because not every device will survive the unrelenting barrage of nerd and become my daily driver. Probably not the best time or place for an inside joke but oh well it happened. I’ll address the future of the channel and answer any questions here in the next few days. This will likely get posted on multiple uploads, under the community tab, etc. . .
An old friend of mine got turned into atmospheric and piano stuff back in the day and would tell me all about Aphex Twin and why and how I should listen to him. I tried and for one reason or another I just couldn't get it, even though I respected my friend's opinion when it came to music. We kinda drifted apart and maybe 4-5 years later I heard he was a kick ass (almost a pioneer)musician in Ireland of that type of music that he espoused to me back in the day. I was so happy for him as he was so passionate about what he was doing musically and couldn't give two shites if people liked it or not. Then he died of some rare heart thing, in his mid 30s, just as he was getting some recognition. A healthy guy who preferred fishing on a hidden spot on a river than lapping up praise in a Dublin music spot. His name was Conor Walsh and I wish I got to know him more when he was alive. Conor Walsh I drink this can of cheap Lidl Perlenbacher in salute to you. Gone but never forgotten.
Flann Flynn ,- as a German, I apologize that you have to drink this dirty beer of a foreign occupying power. Thank you for your comment on Conar Walsh. RIP Conar.
Hey, here I am! Someone that loves this track as much as you do. Unfortunately, you probably meant someone in your close proximity. Now that, is truly a special thing.
I don't know what it is, but there's something sinister about this track. It's lovely and relaxing at first, but if I listen long enough it's like I can just make out the silhouette of something malevolent and predatory moving behind the scenes. Such a strange admixture of calming and upsetting.
This feels like the calm before the storm, something terrible is coming, so it is best to just enjoy the calm while it's here. This image is perfect, as if a huge wave of darkness, filled with vile creatures are about to consume the light. You are there, waiting, enjoying the last moments of peace you have before it all gets ripped away from you. Beautiful, and sad.
I remember being on a flight after concluding a business trip. It was one of those shitty late night/early morning A.M. flights where you dose off and wake up. I looked outside the window. As I usually do, I like window seat. I look at the Earth, and marvel at the scenery whether it's the clouds, the ocean, the desert, the mountains. I was reading a book. Can't remember which one. I wanted some light music to accompany my reading. So I put in my headphones, and entered the flight entertainment menu that was available on the airline. Aphex Twin was one of the options in the music menu. Imagine. Outside the window was few blinking lights of some small random towns we were probably passing over. It was cool inside. The constant "whirring" monotonous aircraft "white noise". I put in Aphex twin and began reading my book. It was the Selected Ambient Works - album. By the end of the second track (Tha) I put down my book. There was no internet, but my first instinct was to google these guys. I stared into the monitor. The track names were strangely titled too. What is this feeling? Why do I like this stuff? I had it on repeat for my entire flight. I continued humming it/playing it in my head even throughout passport control, before arriving home. That's my story with Aphex Twin. Every time I get on a flight, one of their sound tracks hit me.
Even the smallest dose of melatonin can give you the most vivid dreams, every time I take it and listen to Aphex Twin, I have lucid dreams, and I can always hear this song in the background.
Who could possibly dislike this? This is just perfect in Title and Realisation. The ultimate Tune for being in between "letting go" and "being gone". AT at it`s Best.
@@mikenorledge4110 I just want to understand I'm not a native english speaker so I don't understand why you are talking about grammr :) I never met him and I was believing this tank story was just a legend :O
This track is so mellow that I zoned out and dropped my custard cream into my cup of Horlicks. Thing is this was last October and I still can't fucking get it out. It's like it hardened to the sides like a limpet. I don't know if I need a teaspoon or a chisel or a therapist or what. Has anyone else experienced this while listening to this track? I could really use some advice tbh. It's my favourite bloody mug an all.
I was about to comment how insanely English this comment sounds but it's good to know you aren't from England. I would have felt really sorry for you if you were from there.
Sometimes I prefer the simplicity of Richard's tracks over his more complex ones. Don't get me wrong, boy/girl is still my favourite track of him. But this track is one of those that can just carry you away in a smooth rocking-chair of compelling soundwaves. Just like Z-twig!
I decided to at least temporarily return from my uploading hiatus to post this amazing new release by Richard. A few others will probably follow. Enjoy : )
YarbTheLegend Glad to see you back, Yarb! Love this channel, and grown to love the work of RDJ more and more. Loving this new soundcloud stuff, especially Japan! You should upload some stuff off Syro and the superb new EP too. Keep going strong :)
@@thedarksoul4585 You might want to check out following playlist of the best electronic gems I collected over the years. I bet you would find stuff you'll like in there m.ruclips.net/p/PL31BSvvOE3BNfPNCHST1OYWLIAy1lwvOp
Aphex is easily one of my top favorite artists. He reminds me of my childhood although finding him at age 20. Idk, his just music feels so satisfying to the ears both ambient and techno.
I love when a song matches its title. this track is definitely telling me to go to sleep. its like dread cause im tired and cant sleep but slowly it sets in.
Love how he is able to mix all the different synthesis styles and make it sound good. Very low cutoff on various elements, I like that. Very calming and mellow effect.
This song makes the whole world feel so quiet when it's all so loud. Plus, i always feel so nostalgic and depressed when i listen to this from time to time. Such a good song...
One of those tracks you can replay for an hour and not grow tired of it.. Love this. :) Going to make a mix for sleeping soon, this will be in it for sure.
I feel like calling it SAW3 would be a little too gimmicky for his tastes. Have you scoured through the vast data dumps of unreleased content? I've barely scratched the surface but I bet you'll find plenty of haunting, ambient gems in there.
There's something about this tone, something eerily similar yet very unique that I just can't express in words. It's not the aspect of vocabulary that stopping me, but something much deeper. maybe on the side of self-realization that I lack till now. Hopefully, one day I will be able to express what kind of feelings this song truly evokes in me.
@@dutchmountainsnake5379 You're aware things like depression exist right? These things can make comfort very elusive. And that's not even mentioning physical discomfort like disabilities which can make PHYSICAL comfort impossible.
@@adamtownshend3719 depression isnt like an immune disease which strikes at random, it's there for a reason and telling you something. you have power over it
This beautiful track is apt considering the time we are currently living in. Quarantine has given my anxiety and bipolar disorder a real challenge everyday. I've even had trippy, reality shattering experiences. For example, playing Red Dead 2 where in the game it was dim and raining. When I paused and went into the kitchen I gasped because the weather was bright and it was daylight. I can't distinguish dreams from reality all that well and a panic attack feels like it's always around the corner. The ups and downs are intense and it's so difficult to accept life may never be the same again.
Hi my unknown friend, have a listen to Tripzville "Point Zero " ruclips.net/video/qKdGEiCL_Kk/видео.html. You may enjoy the uplifting message within this ambient tune. Blessings from New Zealand.
This is not a song, this resembles that fogged feeling where you feel confused and at the verge of slipping into a void because past has been very difficult and things dont seem to turn up well in near future. You think. You miss something. You feel... nothing. The prospect of dying attracts you more than that of living. You want to fall asleep
Imagine if you will, riding along the edge of a cliff. Glancing down in to darkness. Would you wager there would be life down there? Would you call it life? All that is devoid of light. Like the fading glimpses of sunshine on a cold winter’s day, darkness is coming for you. Edging ever closer as day breaks. Like arms stretching out to embrace an old friend. I will have you for a time. Once the shadows devour the last specs of light, you will know darkness, and i will have you for a time.
this song -to me- feels like you're in a coocoon and you don't know whats coming next. In this state of mind you're a kind of timewarp back to your future memories of being a butterfly, but you don't know yet what is a butterfly exactly
During a stormy & heavy rain night, I listened to this song & got an artistic ephiphany. I closed my eyes & saw images that would pair very well with the ambience of this song. To me, just fall asleep is about someone in a coma who is subconsciously reminded daily by society that he's no longer useful. It's both a battle with his own mind & the battle of not slipping into oblivion & getting forgotten by the people he once knew & who loved him. I just saw cars on a highway rushing about, sped up shots of wheather changes, decomposing animals, etc. While all this going on, the main motive of this video is the comatosed patient lying in the hospital bed. If you listen closely, you can hear a high beeping noise eventually in the song. Which could be symbolic for life support machinery. Even though I'm a musician, I'm very tempted to pair cinematographic material & enhance the beautiful audio of this track. Music like that really serves as a blank canvas for sorting out your thoughts or for visions or memories to occur.
Other people have said this I know. This is probably in the top ten. Mainly because of the symbolism. The title, the melody, the background, the feeling, the mystery. This is more than music it is a feeling where creativity comes from. The intent is to create something different but somewhat relatable to understand. Calling Aphex Twin a musician would be obvious, but I see him as an inventor of something. Something that will find you digging deeper into the rabbit hole.
Many thanks indeed. I'd missed this one when it came out. When I think of Aphex Twin, it's never material as sedate as this that immediately comes into my mind.
It's 3.45am and although I get to sleep in tomorrow it's back to work the day after, and as usual my bodyclock will be so out of sync there'll be no point even trying to sleep earlier tomorrow night. Listining to RUclips music like this at 4am keeps me going but sure messes up my circadian rhythm for work.
Your work is among the very very few things left to enjoy for me, Aphex Twin. Soon I might not be able to enjoy even this. But I existed, or believe so, on this terrible planet, and I enjoyed it 🥲
In the middle of the song played on autoplay from youtube I realised I was listening to music, I got completely hypnotised by this piece. Forgot about the sounds, it was something natural. Now the song is over and I can hear the giant emptiness soaking in through my ears.
I had a RUclips playlist going on in the background while I worked when this track came on. It's remarkably unsettling. Yes, it's charming and relaxing on its face, but the repeating phrase really started to put my hair on end. It reminds me of recurring sound loops in old videogames, and the minor-ey sound feels like something strange is trying to break into my mind.
Simplemente increíble. Lloro de la emoción de escuchar algo tan autista y lejano al ser humano. Nunca nadie ha ido tan lejos. La música a través de sueños lúcidos de Aphex Twin es definitivamente la octava maravilla.

Reasons I stopped uploading:
-copyright strikes

-Lost access to the PC with my files and editing software
Things that have since changed:
-A divorce that ended up being good for everyone in the long run.
-A better late than never ASD (Aspergers) diagnosis that explained so many things in my life.
-negotiated the safe return of my ancient Alienware. Most (if not all) of the files were located and a backup performed. She’s in rough shape though and will likely require gutting in the near future. My house is basically the Parris Island for electronics because not every device will survive the unrelenting barrage of nerd and become my daily driver.

Ambient aphex is just something else. Hopefully he'll one day release another pure ambient album like saw2
We can only hope my friend. I love his whole discography but its his more mellower ambient songs I love the most.
True ambient maybe, but some of the tracks on SAW2 were creepy. "Hankie" (track 4) is definitely one of them.
@@adid.5585 I feel like most of the tracks on s.a.w.2 could be used in a crime documentary or horror film.

While all this going on, the main motive of this video is the comatosed patient lying in the hospital bed.
If you listen closely, you can hear a high beeping noise eventually in the song. Which could be symbolic for life support machinery.
Even though I'm a musician, I'm very tempted to pair cinematographic material & enhance the beautiful audio of this track.
Music like that really serves as a blank canvas for sorting out your thoughts or for visions or memories to occur.
Thanks Yarb, keep posting premium quality of maestro Aphex tracks.
Sounds like something from selected ambient works 2
It's possible that it was recorded in that era as Richard is known to put out songs decades after recording them.
Other people have said this I know. This is probably in the top ten. Mainly because of the symbolism. The title, the melody, the background, the feeling, the mystery. This is more than music it is a feeling where creativity comes from. The intent is to create something different but somewhat relatable to understand. Calling Aphex Twin a musician would be obvious, but I see him as an inventor of something. Something that will find you digging deeper into the rabbit hole.
Many thanks indeed. I'd missed this one when it came out. When I think of Aphex Twin, it's never material as sedate as this that immediately comes into my mind.
An ambient track that rattles the subs is what I'm talkin bout...
@s rattles the furniture that surrounds, rather. Subs are fine, rest assured👌🏼
It's 3.45am and although I get to sleep in tomorrow it's back to work the day after, and as usual my bodyclock will be so out of sync there'll be no point even trying to sleep earlier tomorrow night.
Listining to RUclips music like this at 4am keeps me going but sure messes up my circadian rhythm for work.
Literally same. 3am now
i dont want this to end but everything else
Your work is among the very very few things left to enjoy for me, Aphex Twin. Soon I might not be able to enjoy even this. But I existed, or believe so, on this terrible planet, and I enjoyed it 🥲
Aphex Twin, the Ambient God
This plays in my head 24/7
This is what is played right before you get judged by God
🤨🤣 that’s weird that you picture that while listening to this I don’t see that at all
No it’s not. Gos doesn’t exist. But i believe in ghosts. It may be their music.
Amazing video 😻😻
I love the atmosphere 💜
In the middle of the song played on autoplay from youtube I realised I was listening to music, I got completely hypnotised by this piece. Forgot about the sounds, it was something natural. Now the song is over and I can hear the giant emptiness soaking in through my ears.
3:03 when that sounds kicked in...it's so beautiful.
I had a RUclips playlist going on in the background while I worked when this track came on. It's remarkably unsettling. Yes, it's charming and relaxing on its face, but the repeating phrase really started to put my hair on end. It reminds me of recurring sound loops in old videogames, and the minor-ey sound feels like something strange is trying to break into my mind.
Can stress headphones enough for it
music to study, think and concentrate :)
I love the background
Simplemente increíble. Lloro de la emoción de escuchar algo tan autista y lejano al ser humano. Nunca nadie ha ido tan lejos. La música a través de sueños lúcidos de Aphex Twin es definitivamente la octava maravilla.
I want this playin in loop at my funeral
Please
How am I just hearing this from him. And definitely a favorite already.
This masterpiece grants the purest epiphanies.
Best song for taking a nap
i was watching the pictures i got in 2020 while this song started playing in the background. i just realized we are living in the apocalypse.
This is what I hear when the sleep paralysis monster appears in the corner of the room.
hehe....yeah
hahahaa
You're the kind of guy that I never forgot to bring up at the party
Vaush is cool
Soundtrack of smoking a blunt layed down in the middle of nowhere on a full moon night
Finally, a true AT ambient track
More like _Selected Ambient Techno Works 85-92_, am I right?
You'd like SAW II by him as well
Finally? You never heard Rhubarb or Stone in Focus? There are many others as well.
perfect sound, as always. Luv u Afx.
это уже слилось с моим ритмом сердца, с импульсами мозга
perfect peace and reflection
i remember commenting on the soundcloud that it sounds like a super metroid track, it still does lol
Listeing to this while reading the eclipse go down in Berserk is whole trip, I now relate this song to the laws of causality.
Where has this been all my life. Makes me temporarily forget all the bullshit.
All night this!😌
Just close your eyes and breathe to the song.
Windows XP on a rainy day.

Yarb you are indeed a legend
