My sister recently died and I've been doing alot of reminiscing lately, tunes like these bring me back to our family home when we were altogether and I used to sneak up to my room after a big night and watch MTV as I struggled to sleep before dawn. I miss her and those days badly.
As a kid I used to suffer from nightmares, I remember regularly coming downstairs with my mother when I couldn't sleep and putting MTV on late at night and this would regularly be on, it used to fascinate and comfort me at the same time.
It was 1995. I was around 15 years old. I had never heard electronic music except nine inch nails and a little prodigy. I went to my friends house who was from New Jersey (RIP Mike, see you on the other side) he played this song with the video in his party room garage with a decent sound system with the black lights glowing and the herbs burning. I was totally transfixed. Nothing sounded like this. It was aggressive and beautifully elegant at the same time. Along with u-zip Auteurs he played it furthered my palette in this realm of distorted beats with ethereal melodies. I was HOOKED. Until this very day this is my favorite genre. Nothing can touch it. I don’t give a shit what the music snobs say about what higher art or composition is. This is the sound made for me. It’s raw , emotive and of course intelligent.
I think we're about the same age. Have you heard ruclips.net/video/qqtAG-MXXdg/видео.html It's one of those good oldies, they did not release nearly as much music as Aphex Twin has, then or since, but that one tune -- depending on your associations -- may be something you'd also like. I am left with a feeling the electronic music development scene was completely different then (and it figures I guess, time moves things), something more naive, more idealistic, more experimental, the production value was smaller but talent was in places just seeping out from every pore. P.S. I also love Orbital :)))
I was 15 in 2008… so from the next generation I’d like to inform you that you are missing out of you don’t explore Deadmau5 more as well. I agree with you tho! Genre is bliss.
Aphex Twin was my main inspiration to get into music production. I accidentally bought the Richard D. James album as a kid when it was released. So glad I made that mistake.
The first Aphex Twin song i ever heard. I was like 10 or 11. This one really changed my life. I started producing music, studied Acoustics and RDJs songs became soundtrack to my life, helped me especially back in my elementary school when i was a total outcast. I dont like "this changed my life" bullshit, but for real, this song here has changed my life.
It's funny to me how little discussed or esteemed this music video seems to be. Not only is it directed by Jarvis Cocker, i.e. THE Jarvis Cocker, being one of the few music video projects he worked on for Warp before Pulp blew up in the mid-90s, but it's also just genuinely super ambitious stop-motion, incorporating huge props and complex object movements and interactions in a very large outdoor space, with constantly changing weather, on a small island in North-West England. It's one of my all-time favourite music videos. In my brain its imagery is connected intimately to how I think about RDJ's music in general.
When I lived in Japan I use to listen to this song in the morning, at low volume on headphones, sitting on the train that brought me from Tokyo to Chiba. I've always thought that the first part of this song fitted perfectly to the view from the train with the first sun in the morning. This and Slowdive's 'alison' were my favourite for that moment of the day. Good memories..
When did you live in Japan and what did you do there? I studied at a university in Fukuoka from 1999 to 2000 and went hitchhiking through Tokyo and on to Chiba where my girlfriend had family. I only got into Aphex later though back in the UK. Boy do I miss Japan, it is amazing there.
@@matthewdevereux1288 Hello! I lived in there from November 2019 to September 2021! I was there as a 'ryugakusei': I wanted to study Japanese first the get a job in the import-export from and to Italy or going to a university or a senmongakko. It ends that I didn't get then infamous job visa but went back to my country with many positive experiences: from the school first, the arubaito(the part-time job) I did and the moments with my ex-girlfriend and friends. I had some bad experiences too but it's life. Aphex twin was one of my daily listening so I can relate with it a lot! Thanks for have shared your experience.. I miss the land of the rising sun a lot too!
@@matthewdevereux1288 I went to Japan 3 times in total and everytime I've noticed some little changes, so in 10 years became really different i guess, but I don't know about Fukuoka because I've never been there.. anyway for me studying Japanese was difficult to speak and understand at the very beginning but as soon as I started the part time job I reached a good level i can say..not the highest level but a medium/N3 level😊
Not only do I think Jarvis Cocker himself is in that diving suit, I also think it wasn't provided by the costume department...he just showed up in his typical attire.
@Mäyrä Peuranen You're not alone; most people long for the time in their youth when they were happy and carefree. "Don't be sad it's over, be glad it happened"
@@jodysenior9423 This video was given a few seconds blast in the "Breakers" section of TotP 25/11/93 along with a New Entry mention in the chart listing graphics during someone else's video...as Aphex Twin. EDIT: Just replayed it to get the chart placing - of 32 - it was during Elton John & Kiki Dee's True Love fucking dirge of a video/song (yet at no.2 held back by Meat Loaf's sixth week at no.1)! Further EDIT, thanks to Wiki: The previous year (1992) he'd "appeared as the Dice Man on the Warp Records compilation Artificial Intelligence with the track "Polygon Window;" the compilation would help birth the genre later known as "intelligent dance music" and help launch the career of Aphex Twin alongside Autechre and Richie Hawtin. In 1993, there followed his first releases on Warp: Surfing on Sine Waves (the second entry in the label's Artificial Intelligence series) and the EP Quoth, as Polygon Window, and later in the year the "On" EP, which entered the top 40 on the UK charts." - so you're thinking of the EP before this one.
I remember recording this from MTV on my VHS recorder. I had a tape full of weird clips that I played over and over again, like The Prodigy's "One Love" and partial X-MIX compilations. And Beavis and Butthead.
it's 7 am in the morning and the sun is rising, the weather is slightly fogged but otherwise calm, i thought I'd start this day with this on and boy was it so fitting with the theme around me, just thought I'd comment this so that i can remember how good of a day it is so far, one way to cherish the moment or another
I live in Cornwall, just outside Lanner, but I wasn’t born here, I was made on Wirral just like this video ;) Hilbre Island to be exact. It blows my mind to see this and now live (unknowingly) so close to where much of Rich’s music was composed.
So many comments about how AFX inspired people to start producing music. Same with me. I remember being a metal head for the longest time, but when i heard AFX for the first time, i was blown away and had to start learning electronic music production
Ahhhhh memories I remember this playing on "the chart show " on Saturday mornings here in the UK around 1993 .Me (being 12 at the time ) & my big sister taped it on our vhs recorder, then kept watching it over & over,we loved this tune & the video!!
I just want you to know that I play rhubarb every morning. It's part of my waking ritual. I was in hospital for a stint back in 2018 and I nurse walked in while I had it playing. Just to let you know man, it's an epic sound... outstanding even. Blessings
One of the first tracks I remember hearing back on MTV when I was younger. I was fascinated with it. I used to keep a VHS to try and record any Aphex Video that came on. It was always about 2:00am and his tracks always felt like hypnagogic hallucinations. Ah to be young again.
I saw this video for about 6 months in my recommendations but I usually don't watch over-suggested videos. Today I found a reason to open this, I found a Miki the Dolphin mix from 1993, on the cover there were his favourite tracks, this was at 1st place. I love to close circles in my life, and make adventures in discovering music. Thanks Miki, thanks Aphex.
This will always be a legendary late night fever dream I saw on MTV AMP one time that I couldn't remember the name of until one day I finally found it.
When I was about 13, during a family meeting in which I was the only youngster, I sat alone on the sofa and watched videoclips on TV. And this clip appeared. I remembered it year after year, sometimes wondering if it was true or dream. 12 years later, I discovered Aphex Twin with Iz Us, immediately fell in love and discovered On once again. I felt like I had retrieved a missing part in the jigsaw of my life.
I always thought it had a bit of a beatles vibe to it. A bit like those later strawberryfields and walrus vibes. But Richard put a way more naive and happily childish approach to it and this is why I admire it so much. I felt understood when I found this, being like 14 years old and somehow getting it.
I really love how the early warp stuff had such “freedom” in their videos. Really hard to articulate. It made you want to watch the whole thing in detail. By the time idm got more complicated, somehow the videos seemed less pure and free. Not necessarily worse, tho
It reminds me so much of just working on a computer. The organic shots in the beginning are glitched out just enough to make them feel electric like our nature inspired wallpapers.
Это не просто музыка, это поток, состояние, в которое можно попасть только спустя долгие годы жизненного опыта, понимания…. Гениальная вещь. Ничего лучшего не нашёл ещё. Спасибо тебе, Ричард.
I don't want much for my birthday. I just want the person reading this to be healthy, happy and loved. Wishing you a good day! Most likes I’ve ever gotten! 500+
I'll never stop picturing some bizarre mashup of the Windowlicker video intro segment combined with the mental image of Richard D. James puttzing around the Welsh countryside in a tank.... s'fun for the brain....
The very first song that introduced me to Aphex Twin was the video for " Come to Daddy ". It made such an impression on me. I was completely intrigued. Up to that point, i had never heard ANYTHING like it. I was expecting the rest of his sound to be similar in tone and harshness. Much to my surprise and delight, This song "On", was/is such a departure from what i was expecting. 23+ years forward, this song still compels me. It's pure nostalgia to me. Thee BEST.
I love listening to this music , this song it feels like me . I understand and feel deep thoughts and emotions that I find unexplainable to anyone around me , I feel like I can’t connect with anyone else on a deeper level only myself, idk what I’m searching for anymore but maybe I’ll be happier alone for the rest of my days
This always reminds me of walking my Mam's friend to the bus stop one night in November 1993. There wasn't any funny stuff going on, it just reminds me of it.
Never met RDJ but I did meet the designer of his Aphex logo a few times. Can't remember his name but he started up the company Prototype21 with his uncle. He also won a competition to design the original Kiss FM logo. I'm sure the print company are still going strong.
This was Paul Nicholson, Richard's close friend. He also performed few times with RDJ as stage dancer in the early days. Besides Aphex Twin logo, his other famous work is Laughing Man symbol, designed for Ghost In The Shell anime from 2000s.
@@B1SCOOPBrilliant chap, great memories of visiting his print shop. I'm sure it was his Uncle I also met. Really kind people & used to love Paul's designs.
I spent a couple of years in the mid 90s methodically perusing the used CD racks in a record store just outside of Albany, NY, choosing interesting album covers and band names, and would take them to the bank of CD players and headphones. On one of these explorations I came across the CD single of this, with "73 yips", and it was mind blowing.
This music has been with me for the last decade of my life and it literally has helped shaper how I think and who I am I appreciate your work much love from the states🌟

There wasn't any funny stuff going on, it just reminds me of it.
this video explains a deaf person, how aphex twin music is like
alpha alpaca this and the t69 collapse video
@@justagirlandherphone what a beautiful positive comment
You don't stop being you Sarah ❤
A deaf person can still feel those bass and kick sounds :)
What about a blind person
It’s “what it’s like” or “how it is.” Not “how it’s like.”
this was 32 in the uk charts.
mr blobby was number one.
uk are a diverse bunch
Anyone else hear "alright!" at 1:19?... if you're wearing headphones you'll hear it in the left ear.
alright. coming from your left!
Actually, it was his parents, screaming to turn the music down :D
I think it’s “Richard!”
@@enneff its usually "Richard!"
Your all wrong it’s just some geeza goin “oioi!”
That is one of the best budget music videos ever, hard work and massive imagination
Remember watching this at a mates house while we were trippin off some double dipped super strawberries. What a tune and video, masterpiece.
recommended by a casual pal.. now he counts as a bro' . beautiful work folks, a whole new level of chill. ;)
No weekend night in the early 90’s without watchin’ this gem on MTV ❤️
My mother played me Aphex Twin when she was pregrant with me. I remember just feeling like the happiest fetus.
coming back with the classics hey Richard?
love it!
Never met RDJ but I did meet the designer of his Aphex logo a few times. Can't remember his name but he started up the company Prototype21 with his uncle. He also won a competition to design the original Kiss FM logo. I'm sure the print company are still going strong.
This was Paul Nicholson, Richard's close friend. He also performed few times with RDJ as stage dancer in the early days. Besides Aphex Twin logo, his other famous work is Laughing Man symbol, designed for Ghost In The Shell anime from 2000s.
@@B1SCOOPBrilliant chap, great memories of visiting his print shop. I'm sure it was his Uncle I also met. Really kind people & used to love Paul's designs.
Truly legendary artist
I have seen this on Viva in the 90s. Cracking song. Thank you whoever downloaded this song.
On a clear night, stargazing and seeing those hundreds of light years far world... And playing this music on the background...I cannot ask for more
Jarvis Cocker is quite a genius when made this gem
Hello Aphex community. Much love.
This video reminds me the 'I Spy' books I had when I was a kid. I loved those books...
Salvador Dali would have loved this video.
One of the few Aphex works to not be disturbing
Im jealous of anyone who is hearing this song for the first time like i did in 93'. Its like being zapped in the heart by total fucking joy.
I spent a couple of years in the mid 90s methodically perusing the used CD racks in a record store just outside of Albany, NY, choosing interesting album covers and band names, and would take them to the bank of CD players and headphones. On one of these explorations I came across the CD single of this, with "73 yips", and it was mind blowing.
ive said it a hundred times and ill say it a million more, but Aphex Twin is the god of percussion (in a digital format)
never seen "on" in that quality. Thanks Aphex Twin for uploading!
One of the best tunes ever. Truly gem.
Polygon Window Surfing on Sine Waves fell into my lap in 94. Horizon expanded with that one.
2019. Richard, you’re still the man!
Thanks so much for reuploading this!
One word. TIMELESS!
This music has been with me for the last decade of my life and it literally has helped shaper how I think and who I am I appreciate your work much love from the states🌟
Thankyou Richard ❤ I felt like I was always missing something until I heard your music ❤
so fucking true wow!
this whole song is amazing
When I have a nightmare , this is playing
I search for this long time....must be destiny to find it and listen it again.,...after i dont know 30 years?
