Cursed be the profane tabernacle of Orion, for it is the place where Cepheus will never be, lest Armageddon occur! *Anathema!* The profane tabernacle the mortals call subway is a place of uncleanliness and damnation! For real though, it's not actually healthy, and like all fast food joints, the hygiene there is vastly insufficient.
I'm 60 years old. A lot of ups and downs in life, as I suppose there are for most people. I put in my earbuds and walk in the night to the grocery store with this playing. It gives me a sense of gratefulness for being alive. There's a full moon tonight, shining through light clouds.
I listened to Aphex Twin as a teenager to calm my anxiety. It's now years later, and I'm here playing their ambient works as lullabies for my sleeping baby. She is such a happy looking baby rn and I could live in this moment forever
@@xiclops Sorry if you may be going through something hard but, You need to give your life meaning and purpose, I know I may be sounding naive but you have to give your life meaning and purpose in order to keep going. Have a good day.
I'm 121 years old. Every time I listen to aphex twin i feel like my blood pressure lowers to that level where 40 km of earth ends and magma starts running, pure energy in my stream of consciousness it feels like I'm 1 month old again, sure thing i've been there done that messed around, and this music feels like i landed on Neptune to finally grasp this sense of calmness and serenity
I'm 3 years old, I have yet to learn how talk, so music such as this proved excellent for my eclectic palette. I would tell you more about the joys of this music however I have just shat myself, and must attend to it.
I've always been a daydreamer. When times got tough, i always retrieved back into my imagination. I lived off of my dreams basically, to the point where it got in the way of my daily life. I've finally made peace with the fact that there is a time to live and a time to dream, and i can't give into my desire to escape reality all the time. Whenever i do give myself that privilege though, it is always to Richard's music. It brings back all my fantasy worlds, all the wishes I've suppressed. His music reminds me of all the people I've been, of all the pain and all the joy, the random memories that make me feel warm inside. And it keeps me going. I am finally pursuing my dreams in a concrete and proactive way instead of keeping them inside, from fear to hope that they'll actually come true. I am so grateful to be alive and to have so much to live for. I hope this comment will help people who need comforting, as well as a little motivation to push through fear and shame, and to dare to live. I know i will be coming back to it from time to time, when remembering gets hard. Love to you all. May we always remember that life is worth living, and that we are loved and appreciated, and that our efforts matter. Godspeed to us all ✨✨
Ahhm another Dissociative Daydreamer in the wild! I still do this but I'm trying to balance it out with studying how to paint so I can put the ideas on paper now, too.
_Stone In Focus_ IS...THE...MOST immersive piece of ambient atmosphere I've ever encountered. It's transcendent, but yet so simple. It sounds to me like a theme of Earth itself.
Those little ticks that are not even hi hats or any type of drums are just.. so much better than drums. Thinking about it now.. Aphex is such a legend. He makes the absolute most relaxing ambient music while at the same he creates the most insane crazy sounding music like Vordhosbn. And he does them all well. It wouldn't be farfetched at all to say that he may very well be responsible if not for creating than for Inspiring many many new music genres
@@Speedster189 Plus he doesn't even have any musical training, it's insane. and you're right - a lot of huge musical artists have said he influenced their work.
He's also a well known liar in interviews. He even says this much. He just used to take the pish. Most of this stuff was either an Oberheim rack, DX7 or sampler.
@Baltazar Razatlab See as much as a like your fervour it's just no as true as you would like to believe. Yep he maybe has made some adjustments to some gear. Apparently he started an engineering course but never finished it. My mate could solder his broken guitar leads at 14 years old, doesn't mean he made guitar leads. A lot of the titles of his songs mention gear that was made by companies and he happily admited he just used to tell lies in interviews for a laugh.
I'm a college student, studying abroad in Germany. Been pretty depressed, slacking on assignments, room is getting dirtier. Trying to make up on some work. Feels like this mix is all that helps me focus sometimes.
Yeah I am from Germany and also currently studying have an exam tomorrow. I often hear that the german culture can be rough at first I hope your better now and can enjoy your time here!
Rhubarb is one I’ve been listening to for almost 15 years. It takes me back to being a teenager and having no worries. I was just looking forward with hope. What a time.
@@larvancioramos9748 Even when I was young I have always been very aware of the value that youth and being a kid/teenager holds. Looking back on it now I am grateful that I enjoyed that time of my life as much as I possibly could. I wish more kids could realise what I realised very early on in my life.
@@NvmThemHereIAm well done, really dificult to see on these current times. Nowadays generations seems lost, I dont blame them, we, the older ones did nothing to prevent or stop this mess. God luck to you
This song doesnt make me think about the past at all. It makes me think of the distant future a bit maybe, one beyond my lifetime. But more than anything it just brings me peace, and makes me happy that i am alive.
Close your eyes, lay down in a dark room an let your imagination take control. I just had one of the most peaceful moment in my life listening to this.
After nearly losing my life, I never really processed it. But hearing this really set it in. I made it, I survived, I have a second chance at life, so don’t waste it. Don’t ever waste your life man. Don’t worry about superficial things. Do what you love. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Just take it easy.
I've been there since a long time ago... Nothing personal, just the dangers of life 😅 I totally agree with you. I'm fine with death, but I prefer the living. Wasting the living is the most tragic thing to do
Aphex Twin’s music saved me form depression in high school. It was literally like rehabilitation for me. His music has such a soul to it, that I cannot describe with words. It’s almost like God would’ve made it for pepole. I can’t say how thankfull I am for this guy
the sounds do have a resonance with melancholia and a yearning for changing things in the past. I have to be careful how much I listen to this but it does have a place in the medicine chest of music playlists..
@@nairamdiam same. I think it’s very melancholy and hiræth. Music is a gift from a higher power. It’s transcendental; it’s like a tool to be used when spoken language becomes obsolete. Something that has never left me is the feeling I got reading The Silmarillion, when the gods created the universe with music.
@@catturnstotea3722 I once had that special someone as well... Though we listened to this together in a bad moment, in fact we broke up shortly after I discovered this song, and the few times we listened to this together, it made her cry and as a consequence of this, I felt terrible and now I feel like this song has sucked up all the sadness of that moment of my life. Enjoy the precious moments with your girl, especially when listening to masterpieces like this and the atmoshpere is not polluted with sadness and the acknowledgment of an imminent break-up..
A very cool thing about Aphex is the breadth of his musical feeling. Sure these are beautiful, transcendent, relaxing songs, but he also produces fun, gripping, exciting music too. He's a very cool guy, and my life is definitely better because of this man. I'm an atheist, so the best I can say is, may the universe bless this man with many years of life and bless him with more inspiration to craft wonderful music.
I'm moving to Tokyo in October. Every time I listen to Aphex I get this feeling I'm living inside my memories. I'll miss the States but I think mostly I'll miss my family. Excited for the future but also terrified
I just want to say thank to Aphex twin and who made this compilation. I survived 2 clinical deaths, addiction and worst thing. But since my teenage-hood i’ve been coming back there and calming myself. Now im 22, recovered, enjoying nature and loneliness, focused on my art and i still play this ambient, when it’s hard for me to sleep. No medications helped me like this calming sounds and meditations. Thank you
Internet radio station out of San Francisco, SomaFM, has a channel called Drone Zone. All this kind of music 24/7 with one station ident per hour and NO COMMERCIALS! I love this kind of music so much. Calms my ASD brain.
@@thewol7534 I've heard of them, back when I used internet radio for ambient stations. Now I just subscribe to Hearts Of Space, they have all the programs they broadcast for the last 40 years. You can make your own playlists too.
I'm glad you can breathe good air again, brother. I'm 44 years old, from 15 to 30 ruin my life in alcohol. Now i'm clean, i'm strong, i've a wonderful daughter. Stay on the right way and life will reward you ❤
I’m 22 years old and I feel like time passes so fast, I feel like I am a train that never stops, my thoughts and feelings are always sabotaging myself and my possibilities to expand my self, this mix makes me feel like there is a possibility to re do the way I am to the world… also I listen to this when I’m about to sleep, it gives me a deep dream
It's 04:04 am on a sunday, i'm home after a full saturday. I'm halfway through the playlist while studying and writing an article for an upcoming academic event, and Aphex's music makes me feel like everything's under control somehow. It's the first time in a very long time that i genuinely feel relaxed, and not wishing i was somewhere else than where i am.
I dont think Richard will ever make something has monolithic, atmospheric and absolutely grand as Selected Ambient Works Volume ii. It's one of those albums that just comes in a lifetime and never to be replicated ever again.
You really understand the value of some tracks on there a lot later.For example #7 sounded so unlikable at the first listen but after a few more i understood it wasnt trying to be like rhubarb or stone in focus this was its own thing and it made me appreciate it more.
If I may give you some recommendations, try Andre 3000's new album "New Blue Sun" and maybe some japanese new age like Hiroshi Yoshimura's "Soundscape 1" or his "Green" Album
And then... And then your moment will end. The joy and anxiety of being part of a vital algorithm. An unmistakable hidden siren will announce the end of your shift here. Only then will it be time to fill the suitcase with memories, joys, and sorrows... The more abundant it is, the more serene the departure will be... For now love, walk, and live...
it really isnt. this is more of a childhood memory that you forgot but you somehow remember it out of nowhere. im kinda tired of the feeling that doesnt exist comments since you know, that feeling does exist
@@bbb-dk7pz I think it’s just relaxing and peaceful music, and that triggers memories from when you were relaxed or however you felt at that time. Maybe in your childhood you were more relaxed because you were less stressed, and maybe they can’t describe a memory like that as there was never a time of complete peace in their lives. You are right that a lot of people say that exact same thing though, but maybe they genuinely do feel that way. Who knows.
Lichen sounds to me like i somehow awoke in what i dream up to be heaven. Vast green plains, flowers blooming all around, insects buzzing and flying, feeding off the plants, a blue sky bathing everything in the light of the warm spring sun, with a soft breeze tingling the skin. And clouds, low and fluffy, with a perceptible yet slow movement. Everything sort of glittering and shining, alive and harmonious.
When he's gone, over the centuries to come, if we still can hear these works, many people will look back and think he was the Greatest composer of our time and one of the greatest composers ever, one who actually created the sounds as well as creating the atmospheres and pieces.. I hope his music is heard for many aeons to come.. Makes me wonder why i even try to write songs or music when i hear the mastery of this.. Peace everyone, spread love..i hope your day gets better if it is a tough one.. Best wishes from Rolland..x
It's been a bit over 2 months since my best friend died. His name was Connor, and he was the funniest man I had ever met. He was 23. He did not listen too Aphex Twin, but I often did and he was aware of this. I guess that, by proxy, I somehow associate this music to remembering him in some fashion. I don't know why, all of that sort of psychological complex shit is way above me. It could just be that the ambient nature of Richards music acts as a backdrop for my mind to wander through, bringing me to think about the obvious hole in my life now. I like to believe however that this music's beauty reflects Connor in an abstract sort of way. Or maybe my brain is still just trying to cope. Science says that you simply stop existing once you die. I hope not. I miss you Connor. I don't want you to not exist.
I played Killing Floor (location shown on this video) through all of my undergrad years. It's a very odd but welcome feeling seeing this paired with Aphex Twin's ambient stuff. It feels like I'm revisiting a happy place where times were simpler
i was looking for this comment, KF was godlike. maining the santa skin all year round, spamming voice lines while flipping scrakes with the hunting shotgun, one-shotting patrick on wave 11 with pipe bomb hat before they nerfed it... good times. patriarch: "What have you done to my children?!?!?" 20 stacked pipebombs: *"BEEP BEEP BEEP"* I must say also that the nutcracker fleshpounds were super intense too, personally found them even more intimidating than the default model. I remember plenty of times where that face being 90% of my screen was the last thing i saw before instantly dying 😂
I'm halfway through my life, physically fading, mentally sharper but understand less now then ever before... Caught between the euphoric recall of my past memories and the projected fears of the future... But this is beautiful.
Rhubarb feels as if you are witnessing, rather digesting, that a life you've once loved - a long one - has come to a close and nothing can be done to avert or change the outcome. It feels as if you are being comforted, but not in a reassuring way as to make you feel hopeful for what is to come. Truly a wonderful piece. Just discovered this artist. Everyone in this comment section seems to have their own interesting and equally unique takes on the music.
@@lunalaeclipse7155 oh, right on. That's pretty cool that someone else gets where I'm coming from. I hope you enjoy your night fam as well as your listen.
That first track pulls you in. It feels how a cold winter day is when there isnt any wind but the sun is just beginning to warm things, like right around ten or eleven and that coldness that comes with the melting of the water in the air has gone away and you can feel the basking comfort of the sun, its like a little solar blanket around you. But you still feel the cold, but its not enough to trouble you. And if anything you feel like you prefer it than to just be inside and warm, Im really glad i found this guy.
That is an extremely specific mood and setting thats hard to capture or feel and the fact that this song captures that and you're able to articulate it for me to understand the feeling perfectly makes me feel like I stumbled across the Alice in wonderland key and door at the same time and everything I knew wasn't real
Wow, man. Your description really took me somewhere else. To those days in past when i had different worries, and different dreams. When i seen world in more kind way. I was more naive, but actually closer to important things. I was thinking less but i was thinking about things which were actually important to me. I lived in the moment, in the present. Clear soul, simple mind. Just waiting for the tea to be prepared, enjoying time with people which i dont know where are they now. Watching old buildings, and thinking how it was when they they were "alive", how it was in the past. How future is going to be. For me ? For this world ? Actually no. Just for this place. If i am going to still feel this feelings which i have now. Just looking outside of the window, looking at the strangers, i see myself in them, its almost as a mirror.
I typed the following in a new comment, but I'll add it as a reply in here because I think it belongs with you guys too. Something I've begun to recognize as an older person-29 is just barely beginning to get older-is that some media is fun & gripping but necessarily narrow like a roller coaster or a racetrack, while other media is beautiful, transcendent & open like a relaxing day at the beach or falling asleep in an open field. These songs are clearly the latter. Maybe I semi-consciously recognized this difference a long time ago, but this is the first time I've tried to articulate this as an adult.
hey hey, I'm way out of touch with the world of streamers, and following and subbing. For the last few years I've been doomscrolling Reddit for hours a day, before/during/after work...but only left a small handful of comments. But I came here to say...this playlist vibed so well with Minecraft. Trying to bond with my wife who I introduced Aphex Twin to 10 years ago. I'm at 33 minutes in, can't wait to return to it next session :) Thanks for putting this together.
Удивительная музыка которая прекрасно подходит для того чтобы разгрузить голову и просто молча посидеть подумать куда я иду по этой дорого под названием жизнь
the game is Killing Floor the map is Foundry the music is pure gold. thanks for this mix. edit: its been more than a year since I started to listen to Aphex Twin. I still love ambient songs, still love songs that make me reflect, meditate, and at the same time, make me sad, or even cry. I would recommend these albums if you're into that kind of song as well: Rock Action by Mogwai and Seraphim by How to Disappear Completely. mogwai is post rock and HTDC is what I would call dreaming without sleep, death without being dead. keep listening, friends, I hope I see you guys again sooner than later
I couldn't listen to it when RUclips auto played it a few months ago - 3 seconds in, and I knew I had to immediately turn it off. It was bringing me back to the dark abyss I felt after my breakup just over a year ago. When the world turned a pale shade of grey, when the light inside of me flickered into darkness. When my hope dried up and my heart and soul shattered into a million broken pieces. When my world suddenly came crashing down and everything I thought was a constant became lost from view. But RUclips just auto played this again, after I was listening to an old remix I'd made. I instantly recognised it, and filled up with emotion. I went to close the video, but this time, I did not stop it. I listened. I felt. Shivers racing up and down my entire body, tears swelling behind my eyes. "Is this a good idea?" I asked myself. Then it dawned on me. I have finally reached that final stage - moving on, acceptance, peace. All of my hard work has paid off. I can sit and listen, experiencing the existential pain I once couldn't escape... and realise I'm okay, realise she was truly so bad for me, but move forward with no grudges, no hatred, just forgiveness, acceptance, and peace. It's incredible that music can evoke such visceral emotions, such profound memories, and such deeply felt feelings.
#3 fills me with a feeling so deep and melancholic I couldn't describe it. It feels like a collapse or a hug after an insurmountable time going alone, weathering troubles and suffering in silence. Doom looms inevitable, but a momentary embrace makes everything feel ok, for just a moment. It's like knowing everything's crumbling around you, but still being told "you've done so well. You did it. It's finished." I feel like I can rest knowing that everything comes to an end, and what you do before it does is all that matters. It means more to me than I can say
SAW series amongst my favourite albums of all time… SAWll is very personal, reminds me of times back in the day. I remember seeing piles of SAWll CD albums in a bargain bin in Virgin or Our Price back in ‘94-95 and I couldn’t understand why. I read at the time a comment by Dr Alex Paterson (of The Orb), he said something along the lines of ‘no one will understand this album now but in years to come it will be revered’. So true 👍 I was lucky enough to see Aphex twin 6 times or so in the ‘90’s. Good times. 😎
This mix made me cry a little, just from the peace and harmony alone. When you tune out the world with just these songs, and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones to boot it has the oddest and most intoxicating effect.
Slipping into the liminal space. It’s making me cry as well. Just to be free. To be somewhere untouched. To feel surrounded by love in an elevated form. To feel held.
@@mclare71 That's damn serene and a very true to heart of this artist. I am not sure why the feeling of liminal places makes me feel comfortable and safe, maybe because we come from something like that once.. all of us. I'm not really sure but your words are so true.
Off 📴🗣️ and whatever is best 😉 with a few things 😉☺️☺️☺️ if you can get in a bit to get back and forth to be a little bit less 😉 with a few people I know you got it but I think 💬 is it 🤣😜 and I have no idea how I feel asleep and I think 💬 is fame.
LONG before time had a name, me and my buddies Fiktor n Shaki were on Vodno mountain smoking the za whilst this music was playing. I thrive in the memories and yearn for that moment once again.
I listened to Aphex on my 11 day Caribbean cruise. Now when i listen to these songs i think fondly of the excitement of arriving in a different colorful country every day, no cares in the world. Music + travel creates memories that will last a lifetime
58:50 This is the ending of Medievil Rave MK2 [pre plague mix] for those asking. There's other tracks on this mix, that are segmented, as well. Time-stamping would be a challenge.
I've been making electronic music for like 15 years and spent those years trying to mix every element as clear as possible without losing body. Now im trying to do this ambient, muffled, high-end lacking type stuff and its hard as fuck let me tell you. Love it
This hits right home for me, not just for the beautiful music created by Aphex Twin, but because the looped video looks just like my University and I have to say that it's been hell for me all these years until I passed the last subject back in October. This just teleported me to all these evenings studying there and wandering through the hallways. Difficult times as hell, but I'll never regret any second of my experience there. Learned economics, but also learned failure and how to overcome your worst self.
I met a nice lady on the train, we exchanged numbers. It was all so fast and pure coincidence, it felt good. I thought that this was a sign. Now it‘s not really working out and I am questioning myself if destiny even exists …
In the sky (1:05:40) it's like... i can't describe it. I knew already the other music from that compilation so that's why i'm talking about this one, but damn. It really touch something really deep inside me. It's simultaneously really sad and happy. Love it.
For me, I think "In the Sky" captures the feeling of a very brief happy moment from childhood ... the memory is very elusive, but deeply felt on some level; thinking I'll probably never feel that happy ever again, but grateful it occurred at some point.
This was the mix I listened with the only person that made me feel alive and understood at college. The atmosphere of those weekends in my room with her lessened every wound. Never experienced magic until those days.
Thank You for selecting a variety of sounds- surely to satisfy most. Just like lay down ❤& take it in, w a grateful heart. Ton of awesome music around the planet. And for us now, an 8 note scale w endless potential. And 1,000s of yrs.ago...it was Drums & Reeds, flutes & Stringed Lyres. ❤ Peace frm.Pa
i wanted to take a moment to appreciate this wonder if work. i love aphex twin music, i was shaky coming into it but once i was in i never wanted to leave
My parents live on a property of 19 acres of land. 9 acres are woods. Listening to this during an evening walk in the woods on a warm summer night is just.. enchanting. The moon lighting the sky abdvthe wind rustling the trees...
I'm 38 and used to listen to Aphex Twin's music (ambient and otherwise) when I was 14. Crazy. Haven't thought about it in a long time, the algorithm took me here.
i love this stuff. Ita always great just to get into this kinda mindset and just float away. It’s hard to explain the feeling it is- but its almost like all problems are made small, and you get that feeling that perhaps things dont matter that much. If I could I’d always be listening and watching this stuff. Thinking of new worlds, new stories. Combining old worlds with fictional ones, building characters in your mind that you can control. Listening to this is just very peaceful and thought provoking
I come here by pure chance. By the whim of the algorithm that brought me to this video at an indeterminate moment in my endless wandering through meaningless YT videos. I am lost, there is no better definition of what I have done with my life. No purpose, no destiny, just watching time go by waiting to die by some whim of fate, because I'm not even brave enough to do it by myself even though I think it's the only feasible and honourable way out that I think my life can have. This video won't fix anything, the nonsense I live in is hopeless. But it is giving me fourty minutes (so far) of a peace that I haven't felt for so long that I can't remember the last time I experienced it. I can't give you any positive advice, like so many I read in this comments section. I can only tell you to value yourselves enough not to give up as human beings, as I have done, finding myself today, November 16, 2.024, as a living dead person, hoping that God, in his infinite mercy, will decide to take me soon. Sorry for such a mournful message. Thank you for reading me. Don't despise me. And thanks to Richard, who is a genius I've admired for almost twenty years. May God keep you.
I love the magic essence in the Aphex Twin melodies....I like to listen to them at not very good times in my life and they give you a sense of nostalgia.....they make you think a lot about yourself. I love the loop you chose for this mix with the rain, I love the rain :). I'm a composer too and I'm composing right now ambient melodies, Aphex Twin is giving me a lot of inspiration for that.
So thankful to be included in this mix! No joke, I was sitting in my room doing homework and was like... huh that bassline sounds familiar and it was mine
This is so strange and peaceful at the same time. I can feel it in my body 😮!!! Just perfect for this moment in my life, it fills you up and purges at the same time... good in, push out the bad?! Ok, it's 1:35 a.m. ciao/gnight/good day to you. 😊
you may feel hopeless because you want peace, tranquillity or freedom, experiences which feel like they can't be achieved within because you're subject to this world. The only option is to change the world. not through a major once-in-a-lifetime action, but by turning up every day. people shaped this world, and so people like us can make it different.
I am so grateful that my son and I were able to experience this music together . Such reflection on what should be important , the answers seems so obvious at times , then the music turns off and we fk it all up again .
I’m going through the comments everyone saying they feel at peace but some of this music is so deeply haunting to me it makes me think about my past, friends long gone, places I’ve visited now so far away. Like I’m slipping closer and closer to my end collecting all of these memories that will fade away. I seriously can’t even listen to this music it makes me so sad and I’m not even a sad person.
i used to listen to this when I was driving back to my house leaving my ex at her place, stopped listening to music for 7 or 8 months and listening to this is like wow...............
I am tripping out thinking about time! We are living our own experiences but sharing in these ethereal moments like some collective consciousness! I’m pretty sure most of you are pretty chill people and we all would vibe. May God grant us peace in our adventures
I grew up listening to this stuff, and was lucky enough to see Richard D. James in LA many years ago at All Tomorrows Parties. I used to play this music for my son as a baby and he would cry. Now years later I understand, as he's said it makes him too sad to listen to and sometimes sounds scary when he's falling asleep. Music that elicits that strong an emotional response means it's good music. I just wish he appreciated it as much as myself. Sometimes it's difficult for me to listen to as well as it causes many memories to come flooding back.
When i listen to aphex twin i have some strange feeling that is hard to define, like i belonged in some long forgotten time or place. Like remembering some undefined moment from early childhood. Stillness, sadness, hope, all in one feeling. Like remembering of long forgotten home.
Heard this music in a game world with a friend, it was the first time I got to truly know him. Now it's bringing me a lot of good memories of not jaut that night but the brief but absolutely wonderful friendship we've had over the last near year. Though it feels like it's been decades already, and I can't thank the world creator more for introducing me to this music.

I'm 60 years old. A lot of ups and downs in life, as I suppose there are for most people. I put in my earbuds and walk in the night to the grocery store with this playing. It gives me a sense of gratefulness for being alive. There's a full moon tonight, shining through light clouds.
congrats getting this far champ you're a real warrior 💪
sounds like a very peaceful existence
Living legend 🙌
You´re doing right. You have life experience, worth more than gold...

hi ena
Absolutely my friend, rhubarb hits somewhere special
Yes it’s heavenly
I'm 3 years old, I have yet to learn how talk, so music such as this proved excellent for my eclectic palette. I would tell you more about the joys of this music however I have just shat myself, and must attend to it.

Thank freaking You!
I've always been a daydreamer. When times got tough, i always retrieved back into my imagination. I lived off of my dreams basically, to the point where it got in the way of my daily life. I've finally made peace with the fact that there is a time to live and a time to dream, and i can't give into my desire to escape reality all the time. Whenever i do give myself that privilege though, it is always to Richard's music. It brings back all my fantasy worlds, all the wishes I've suppressed. His music reminds me of all the people I've been, of all the pain and all the joy, the random memories that make me feel warm inside. And it keeps me going. I am finally pursuing my dreams in a concrete and proactive way instead of keeping them inside, from fear to hope that they'll actually come true. I am so grateful to be alive and to have so much to live for. I hope this comment will help people who need comforting, as well as a little motivation to push through fear and shame, and to dare to live. I know i will be coming back to it from time to time, when remembering gets hard. Love to you all. May we always remember that life is worth living, and that we are loved and appreciated, and that our efforts matter. Godspeed to us all ✨✨
me too. btw whos this richard fella ,Ted?
@★luxih★ you might wanna read about "schizoid disorder" on wiki. I got this diagnosed some ten years ago.
Ahhm another Dissociative Daydreamer in the wild! I still do this but I'm trying to balance it out with studying how to paint so I can put the ideas on paper now, too.
@@BrgArt schizoid is far different than the average day dreamer. Shouldn’t be so quick to diagnose people on the internet…

_Stone In Focus_ IS...THE...MOST immersive piece of ambient atmosphere I've ever encountered. It's transcendent, but yet so simple. It sounds to me like a theme of Earth itself.
Those little ticks that are not even hi hats or any type of drums are just.. so much better than drums. Thinking about it now.. Aphex is such a legend. He makes the absolute most relaxing ambient music while at the same he creates the most insane crazy sounding music like Vordhosbn. And he does them all well. It wouldn't be farfetched at all to say that he may very well be responsible if not for creating than for Inspiring many many new music genres
The sound of psilocybin
@@Speedster189 Plus he doesn't even have any musical training, it's insane. and you're right - a lot of huge musical artists have said he influenced their work.
I recommend everyone who enjoys it to listen to Bibio’s Phantom Brickworks
@@lucasskovgaard3526 gotta love bibio
Knowing this guy is a self-taught musician that made all his synthesizers from scratch just blows my mind to the skies
he didnt make all his synthesizers from scratch. Yes, he made the synth _patches,_ but that article was really overblown
@@Otocol Yeah, i was gonna reply with that
I also doubt that legend that he is self-taught, he reportedly had music teachers in Cornwall.
He's also a well known liar in interviews. He even says this much. He just used to take the pish. Most of this stuff was either an Oberheim rack, DX7 or sampler.
@Baltazar Razatlab See as much as a like your fervour it's just no as true as you would like to believe. Yep he maybe has made some adjustments to some gear. Apparently he started an engineering course but never finished it. My mate could solder his broken guitar leads at 14 years old, doesn't mean he made guitar leads. A lot of the titles of his songs mention gear that was made by companies and he happily admited he just used to tell lies in interviews for a laugh.
I'm really diggin this vibe. Chillest type of music for chaotic minds
Goodluck with your journey man . Never doubt yourself
I'm a college student, studying abroad in Germany. Been pretty depressed, slacking on assignments, room is getting dirtier. Trying to make up on some work. Feels like this mix is all that helps me focus sometimes.
Yeah I am from Germany and also currently studying have an exam tomorrow. I often hear that the german culture can be rough at first I hope your better now and can enjoy your time here!
Rhubarb is one I’ve been listening to for almost 15 years. It takes me back to being a teenager and having no worries. I was just looking forward with hope. What a time.
What a time indeed yes!
Do we know those were the best times?
I did not, I did not enjoy properly back then, now almost all is gone, almost.
@@larvancioramos9748 Even when I was young I have always been very aware of the value that youth and being a kid/teenager holds. Looking back on it now I am grateful that I enjoyed that time of my life as much as I possibly could. I wish more kids could realise what I realised very early on in my life.
@@NvmThemHereIAm well done, really dificult to see on these current times.

It's the only song I know that can consistently jerk my brain to engage in a certain type of rumination. Always remembering the past
This song doesnt make me think about the past at all. It makes me think of the distant future a bit maybe, one beyond my lifetime. But more than anything it just brings me peace, and makes me happy that i am alive.
Close your eyes, lay down in a dark room an let your imagination take control. I just had one of the most peaceful moment in my life listening to this.
a couple months ago every night i would just turn on aphex and listen in my room with my lights off, truly nothing like it
@@boxmold5861 I suggest Brian Eno's 'Music For Airports' or 'Neroli'....
Idem
What about Eno’s Thursday Afternoon?
@@MrTomb789 I suggest listening to both at the same time.
After nearly losing my life, I never really processed it. But hearing this really set it in. I made it, I survived, I have a second chance at life, so don’t waste it. Don’t ever waste your life man. Don’t worry about superficial things. Do what you love. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Just take it easy.
the best wishes 4 you
I've been there since a long time ago... Nothing personal, just the dangers of life 😅
I totally agree with you.
I'm fine with death, but I prefer the living. Wasting the living is the most tragic thing to do
Aphex Twin’s music saved me form depression in high school. It was literally like rehabilitation for me. His music has such a soul to it, that I cannot describe with words. It’s almost like God would’ve made it for pepole. I can’t say how thankfull I am for this guy
the sounds do have a resonance with melancholia and a yearning for changing things in the past. I have to be careful how much I listen to this but it does have a place in the medicine chest of music playlists..
music therapy is real
@Shmuzhin Phuzin you know, when I listen to it nowadays, it depresses me too. But in a good and pleasant way
@@nairamdiam same. I think it’s very melancholy and hiræth. Music is a gift from a higher power. It’s transcendental; it’s like a tool to be used when spoken language becomes obsolete.
Something that has never left me is the feeling I got reading The Silmarillion, when the gods created the universe with music.
Agree, it is surreal how he just came up with these tracks and nailed the atmosphere so well and so consistently. One of my most pleasant surprises.
I wish I knew someone who would be listening this with me.
Someone definitely was and I am now.
I am very lucky to have someone for that and she is as beautiful as the song for me
We all are together
@@catturnstotea3722 Amazing
@@catturnstotea3722 I once had that special someone as well... Though we listened to this together in a bad moment, in fact we broke up shortly after I discovered this song, and the few times we listened to this together, it made her cry and as a consequence of this, I felt terrible and now I feel like this song has sucked up all the sadness of that moment of my life. Enjoy the precious moments with your girl, especially when listening to masterpieces like this and the atmoshpere is not polluted with sadness and the acknowledgment of an imminent break-up..
Aphex Twin is a genius. I had no idea he also wrote such healing and soothing music.
His name is Richard D. James, from Cornwall
@@TheReapersSon that explains it then
A very cool thing about Aphex is the breadth of his musical feeling. Sure these are beautiful, transcendent, relaxing songs, but he also produces fun, gripping, exciting music too. He's a very cool guy, and my life is definitely better because of this man. I'm an atheist, so the best I can say is, may the universe bless this man with many years of life and bless him with more inspiration to craft wonderful music.
Welcome to a voyage of discovery :)
i think all intelligent people have both a wild and soft side. aphex really shows he does with his music
I'm moving to Tokyo in October. Every time I listen to Aphex I get this feeling I'm living inside my memories. I'll miss the States but I think mostly I'll miss my family. Excited for the future but also terrified
Good luck
My brother has been learning Japanese for 4 years now, he may be moving soon as well. If you have any tips send them my way and I'll give to him!
Enjoy making new memories in Japan! You will do great
good luck
good luck !
I just want to say thank to Aphex twin and who made this compilation. I survived 2 clinical deaths, addiction and worst thing. But since my teenage-hood i’ve been coming back there and calming myself. Now im 22, recovered, enjoying nature and loneliness, focused on my art and i still play this ambient, when it’s hard for me to sleep. No medications helped me like this calming sounds and meditations. Thank you
Internet radio station out of San Francisco, SomaFM, has a channel called Drone Zone. All this kind of music 24/7 with one station ident per hour and NO COMMERCIALS! I love this kind of music so much. Calms my ASD brain.
stay strong bro❤
@@thewol7534 I've heard of them, back when I used internet radio for ambient stations. Now I just subscribe to Hearts Of Space, they have all the programs they broadcast for the last 40 years. You can make your own playlists too.
I'm glad you can breathe good air again, brother. I'm 44 years old, from 15 to 30 ruin my life in alcohol. Now i'm clean, i'm strong, i've a wonderful daughter. Stay on the right way and life will reward you ❤
I’m 22 years old and I feel like time passes so fast, I feel like I am a train that never stops, my thoughts and feelings are always sabotaging myself and my possibilities to expand my self, this mix makes me feel like there is a possibility to re do the way I am to the world… also I listen to this when I’m about to sleep, it gives me a deep dream
It's 04:04 am on a sunday, i'm home after a full saturday. I'm halfway through the playlist while studying and writing an article for an upcoming academic event, and Aphex's music makes me feel like everything's under control somehow. It's the first time in a very long time that i genuinely feel relaxed, and not wishing i was somewhere else than where i am.
How are things going now?
so honored to have seen Aphex Twin open for NIN back in 2001.
That sounds magical
A Perfect Circle opening for NIN in SF was good but I’d take Aphex over that any day haha
That happened? Omg
I dont think Richard will ever make something has monolithic, atmospheric and absolutely grand as Selected Ambient Works Volume ii. It's one of those albums that just comes in a lifetime and never to be replicated ever again.
You really understand the value of some tracks on there a lot later.For example #7 sounded so unlikable at the first listen but after a few more i understood it wasnt trying to be like rhubarb or stone in focus this was its own thing and it made me appreciate it more.
AFX and reggae saved me from emotional collapse. With all this stress reintroducing back into my soul.
If I may give you some recommendations, try Andre 3000's new album "New Blue Sun" and maybe some japanese new age like Hiroshi Yoshimura's "Soundscape 1" or his "Green" Album
I googled "the markiplier fiber optic cable ambient music" and somehow youtube got me the correct result
Aphex Twin most genius ❤️🔥
And then...
And then your moment will end. The joy and anxiety of being part of a vital algorithm.
An unmistakable hidden siren will announce the end of your shift here.
Only then will it be time to fill the suitcase with memories, joys, and sorrows...
The more abundant it is, the more serene the departure will be...
For now love, walk, and live...
That first track brings me to tears

Incredible music and atmosphere. Feel loneliness when I hear it. Afraid of loosing my family before I get enough time with them
It’s like a memory that you’ve never experienced or a feeling that can’t be put into words
it really isnt. this is more of a childhood memory that you forgot but you somehow remember it out of nowhere. im kinda tired of the feeling that doesnt exist comments since you know, that feeling does exist
@@bbb-dk7pz L comment
@incognito i just keep seeing the damn '' feeling that doesnt exist'' comment under any vaporwawe or ambient music video and its just annoying now
@@bbb-dk7pz I think it’s just relaxing and peaceful music, and that triggers memories from when you were relaxed or however you felt at that time. Maybe in your childhood you were more relaxed because you were less stressed, and maybe they can’t describe a memory like that as there was never a time of complete peace in their lives. You are right that a lot of people say that exact same thing though, but maybe they genuinely do feel that way. Who knows.
It's god beckoning for us to come home.
Lichen sounds to me like i somehow awoke in what i dream up to be heaven. Vast green plains, flowers blooming all around, insects buzzing and flying, feeding off the plants, a blue sky bathing everything in the light of the warm spring sun, with a soft breeze tingling the skin. And clouds, low and fluffy, with a perceptible yet slow movement. Everything sort of glittering and shining, alive and harmonious.
Dude, I feel so good when I listen to Aphex Twin in the silence of the night. It's just a lot of peace
When he's gone, over the centuries to come, if we still can hear these works, many people will look back and think he was the Greatest composer of our time and one of the greatest composers ever, one who actually created the sounds as well as creating the atmospheres and pieces.. I hope his music is heard for many aeons to come.. Makes me wonder why i even try to write songs or music when i hear the mastery of this.. Peace everyone, spread love..i hope your day gets better if it is a tough one.. Best wishes from Rolland..x

It's been a bit over 2 months since my best friend died. His name was Connor, and he was the funniest man I had ever met. He was 23. He did not listen too Aphex Twin, but I often did and he was aware of this. I guess that, by proxy, I somehow associate this music to remembering him in some fashion. I don't know why, all of that sort of psychological complex shit is way above me. It could just be that the ambient nature of Richards music acts as a backdrop for my mind to wander through, bringing me to think about the obvious hole in my life now. I like to believe however that this music's beauty reflects Connor in an abstract sort of way. Or maybe my brain is still just trying to cope. Science says that you simply stop existing once you die. I hope not. I miss you Connor. I don't want you to not exist.
i am a sad person i love sad music but this mix is one of the saddest most beautiful reminders
you are a person who is also sad, not the other way around. do not condense yourself to your condition.
Rhubarb and Stone in Focus are really good pieces of music and some of my favorites of Aphex Twin's work. Aphex Twin has good quality music.
Mentally noted. Say the most obvious crap about a genius and get tons of likes lol… so this dude makes ok music to you?
@@cafferacercalm down dude
I played Killing Floor (location shown on this video) through all of my undergrad years. It's a very odd but welcome feeling seeing this paired with Aphex Twin's ambient stuff. It feels like I'm revisiting a happy place where times were simpler
More like relaxing floor.

I'm halfway through my life, physically fading, mentally sharper but understand less now then ever before... Caught between the euphoric recall of my past memories and the projected fears of the future... But this is beautiful.
Welcome to the club my friend. Be well.
Rhubarb feels as if you are witnessing, rather digesting, that a life you've once loved - a long one - has come to a close and nothing can be done to avert or change the outcome. It feels as if you are being comforted, but not in a reassuring way as to make you feel hopeful for what is to come. Truly a wonderful piece.
Just discovered this artist. Everyone in this comment section seems to have their own interesting and equally unique takes on the music.
you put into words exactly what i was thinking while hearing this
@@lunalaeclipse7155 oh, right on. That's pretty cool that someone else gets where I'm coming from. I hope you enjoy your night fam as well as your listen.
That first track pulls you in. It feels how a cold winter day is when there isnt any wind but the sun is just beginning to warm things, like right around ten or eleven and that coldness that comes with the melting of the water in the air has gone away and you can feel the basking comfort of the sun, its like a little solar blanket around you. But you still feel the cold, but its not enough to trouble you. And if anything you feel like you prefer it than to just be inside and warm, Im really glad i found this guy.
That is an extremely specific mood and setting thats hard to capture or feel and the fact that this song captures that and you're able to articulate it for me to understand the feeling perfectly makes me feel like I stumbled across the Alice in wonderland key and door at the same time and everything I knew wasn't real
Wow, man. Your description really took me somewhere else. To those days in past when i had different worries, and different dreams. When i seen world in more kind way. I was more naive, but actually closer to important things. I was thinking less but i was thinking about things which were actually important to me. I lived in the moment, in the present. Clear soul, simple mind. Just waiting for the tea to be prepared, enjoying time with people which i dont know where are they now. Watching old buildings, and thinking how it was when they they were "alive", how it was in the past. How future is going to be. For me ? For this world ? Actually no. Just for this place. If i am going to still feel this feelings which i have now. Just looking outside of the window, looking at the strangers, i see myself in them, its almost as a mirror.
I typed the following in a new comment, but I'll add it as a reply in here because I think it belongs with you guys too.
Something I've begun to recognize as an older person-29 is just barely beginning to get older-is that some media is fun & gripping but necessarily narrow like a roller coaster or a racetrack, while other media is beautiful, transcendent & open like a relaxing day at the beach or falling asleep in an open field. These songs are clearly the latter. Maybe I semi-consciously recognized this difference a long time ago, but this is the first time I've tried to articulate this as an adult.
I felt the warmth and cold reading this
This is so late 90s/early 00s, I remember the local children's hospital always looking this eerie and in my memories hearing similar frequencies (:
The visuals remind me of the eerie atmosphere of halo 3 odst, love it
I love that soundtrack too
hey hey, I'm way out of touch with the world of streamers, and following and subbing. For the last few years I've been doomscrolling Reddit for hours a day, before/during/after work...but only left a small handful of comments. But I came here to say...this playlist vibed so well with Minecraft. Trying to bond with my wife who I introduced Aphex Twin to 10 years ago. I'm at 33 minutes in, can't wait to return to it next session :) Thanks for putting this together.
Удивительная музыка которая прекрасно подходит для того чтобы разгрузить голову и просто молча посидеть подумать куда я иду по этой дорого под названием жизнь
the game is Killing Floor
the map is Foundry
the music is pure gold. thanks for this mix.
edit: its been more than a year since I started to listen to Aphex Twin. I still love ambient songs, still love songs that make me reflect, meditate, and at the same time, make me sad, or even cry. I would recommend these albums if you're into that kind of song as well: Rock Action by Mogwai and Seraphim by How to Disappear Completely. mogwai is post rock and HTDC is what I would call dreaming without sleep, death without being dead. keep listening, friends, I hope I see you guys again sooner than later
Thanks for the info
First track got me in tears. Incredibly beautiful and sad.
agree, one of Aphex's peaks
I couldn't listen to it when RUclips auto played it a few months ago - 3 seconds in, and I knew I had to immediately turn it off. It was bringing me back to the dark abyss I felt after my breakup just over a year ago. When the world turned a pale shade of grey, when the light inside of me flickered into darkness. When my hope dried up and my heart and soul shattered into a million broken pieces. When my world suddenly came crashing down and everything I thought was a constant became lost from view.
But RUclips just auto played this again, after I was listening to an old remix I'd made. I instantly recognised it, and filled up with emotion. I went to close the video, but this time, I did not stop it. I listened. I felt. Shivers racing up and down my entire body, tears swelling behind my eyes. "Is this a good idea?" I asked myself. Then it dawned on me. I have finally reached that final stage - moving on, acceptance, peace. All of my hard work has paid off. I can sit and listen, experiencing the existential pain I once couldn't escape... and realise I'm okay, realise she was truly so bad for me, but move forward with no grudges, no hatred, just forgiveness, acceptance, and peace.
It's incredible that music can evoke such visceral emotions, such profound memories, and such deeply felt feelings.
#3 fills me with a feeling so deep and melancholic I couldn't describe it. It feels like a collapse or a hug after an insurmountable time going alone, weathering troubles and suffering in silence. Doom looms inevitable, but a momentary embrace makes everything feel ok, for just a moment. It's like knowing everything's crumbling around you, but still being told "you've done so well. You did it. It's finished." I feel like I can rest knowing that everything comes to an end, and what you do before it does is all that matters. It means more to me than I can say
It's snowing today, i let myself down again. Remorse is hard, courage to try again is beautifully hopeless; giving up is even moreso.
SAW series amongst my favourite albums of all time… SAWll is very personal, reminds me of times back in the day. I remember seeing piles of SAWll CD albums in a bargain bin in Virgin or Our Price back in ‘94-95 and I couldn’t understand why. I read at the time a comment by Dr Alex Paterson (of The Orb), he said something along the lines of ‘no one will understand this album now but in years to come it will be revered’. So true 👍
I was lucky enough to see Aphex twin 6 times or so in the ‘90’s. Good times. 😎
This mix made me cry a little, just from the peace and harmony alone. When you tune out the world with just these songs, and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones to boot it has the oddest and most intoxicating effect.
Slipping into the liminal space. It’s making me cry as well. Just to be free. To be somewhere untouched. To feel surrounded by love in an elevated form. To feel held.
@@mclare71 That's damn serene and a very true to heart of this artist. I am not sure why the feeling of liminal places makes me feel comfortable and safe, maybe because we come from something like that once.. all of us. I'm not really sure but your words are so true.
With you there.

LONG before time had a name, me and my buddies Fiktor n Shaki were on Vodno mountain smoking the za whilst this music was playing. I thrive in the memories and yearn for that moment once again.
I listened to Aphex on my 11 day Caribbean cruise. Now when i listen to these songs i think fondly of the excitement of arriving in a different colorful country every day, no cares in the world. Music + travel creates memories that will last a lifetime
Thanks Aphex twin for creating music that people could never recreate. It’s awesome
58:50 This is the ending of Medievil Rave MK2 [pre plague mix] for those asking. There's other tracks on this mix, that are segmented, as well. Time-stamping would be a challenge.
I've been making electronic music for like 15 years and spent those years trying to mix every element as clear as possible without losing body. Now im trying to do this ambient, muffled, high-end lacking type stuff and its hard as fuck let me tell you. Love it
Stone in Focus just kills me. Incredible track. Thanks for this comp
This hits right home for me, not just for the beautiful music created by Aphex Twin, but because the looped video looks just like my University and I have to say that it's been hell for me all these years until I passed the last subject back in October. This just teleported me to all these evenings studying there and wandering through the hallways. Difficult times as hell, but I'll never regret any second of my experience there. Learned economics, but also learned failure and how to overcome your worst self.
Rhubarb is one the most beautiful things i have ever heard..
I’m listening this while right now it’s raining and the music and the sound of the rain from the roof mix perfectly 🙃
I met a nice lady on the train, we exchanged numbers. It was all so fast and pure coincidence, it felt good. I thought that this was a sign. Now it‘s not really working out and I am questioning myself if destiny even exists …
In the sky (1:05:40) it's like... i can't describe it. I knew already the other music from that compilation so that's why i'm talking about this one, but damn. It really touch something really deep inside me. It's simultaneously really sad and happy. Love it.
For me, I think "In the Sky" captures the feeling of a very brief happy moment from childhood ... the memory is very elusive, but deeply felt on some level; thinking I'll probably never feel that happy ever again, but grateful it occurred at some point.
This was the mix I listened with the only person that made me feel alive and understood at college. The atmosphere of those weekends in my room with her lessened every wound. Never experienced magic until those days.
Thank You for selecting a variety of sounds- surely to satisfy most. Just like lay down ❤& take it in, w a grateful heart. Ton of awesome music around the planet. And for us now, an 8 note scale w endless potential. And 1,000s of yrs.ago...it was Drums & Reeds, flutes & Stringed Lyres. ❤ Peace frm.Pa
Fml, 10 seconds into this mix and the tears begin to fall
This is the best study music I have found so far. It really does something to one's mind... everything just makes sense.
I'm just hearing this for the first time. Incredible. Thanks youtube.
i wanted to take a moment to appreciate this wonder if work.
i love aphex twin music, i was shaky coming into it but once i was in i never wanted to leave
I always come back to this video every once in a while over the years. Thank you for making this.
i love aphex twin but mostly his ambient music, it makes me feel calm and nostalgic in a way.
I love hearing Aphex Twin, it’s wonderful❤️ I hear his music while I’m studying and it helps a lot!!
My parents live on a property of 19 acres of land. 9 acres are woods. Listening to this during an evening walk in the woods on a warm summer night is just.. enchanting. The moon lighting the sky abdvthe wind rustling the trees...
Wow, is their property in America??
44 years old and aphex is my hero got my now 15 year old into production 😊
I'm 38 and used to listen to Aphex Twin's music (ambient and otherwise) when I was 14. Crazy. Haven't thought about it in a long time, the algorithm took me here.
i love this stuff. Ita always great just to get into this kinda mindset and just float away. It’s hard to explain the feeling it is- but its almost like all problems are made small, and you get that feeling that perhaps things dont matter that much. If I could I’d always be listening and watching this stuff. Thinking of new worlds, new stories. Combining old worlds with fictional ones, building characters in your mind that you can control. Listening to this is just very peaceful and thought provoking
This location looks so relaxing.
Places you see in dreams
1:01:53 This always hits me in the feels ever since it opened his Brooklyn set a few years ago.
I come here by pure chance. By the whim of the algorithm that brought me to this video at an indeterminate moment in my endless wandering through meaningless YT videos. I am lost, there is no better definition of what I have done with my life. No purpose, no destiny, just watching time go by waiting to die by some whim of fate, because I'm not even brave enough to do it by myself even though I think it's the only feasible and honourable way out that I think my life can have.
This video won't fix anything, the nonsense I live in is hopeless. But it is giving me fourty minutes (so far) of a peace that I haven't felt for so long that I can't remember the last time I experienced it.
I can't give you any positive advice, like so many I read in this comments section. I can only tell you to value yourselves enough not to give up as human beings, as I have done, finding myself today, November 16, 2.024, as a living dead person, hoping that God, in his infinite mercy, will decide to take me soon.
Sorry for such a mournful message. Thank you for reading me. Don't despise me. And thanks to Richard, who is a genius I've admired for almost twenty years. May God keep you.
I love the magic essence in the Aphex Twin melodies....I like to listen to them at not very good times in my life and they give you a sense of nostalgia.....they make you think a lot about yourself. I love the loop you chose for this mix with the rain, I love the rain :).
I'm a composer too and I'm composing right now ambient melodies, Aphex Twin is giving me a lot of inspiration for that.
So thankful to be included in this mix! No joke, I was sitting in my room doing homework and was like... huh that bassline sounds familiar and it was mine
who are you to this mix and what is your channels content in correlation to this comment
This is so strange and peaceful at the same time. I can feel it in my body 😮!!! Just perfect for this moment in my life, it fills you up and purges at the same time... good in, push out the bad?! Ok, it's 1:35 a.m. ciao/gnight/good day to you. 😊
I always loop rhubarb as my sort of lullaby, it not only reminds me of my childhood but also what it could've been. and that makes me super nostalgic.
you may feel hopeless because you want peace, tranquillity or freedom, experiences which feel like they can't be achieved within because you're subject to this world. The only option is to change the world. not through a major once-in-a-lifetime action, but by turning up every day. people shaped this world, and so people like us can make it different.
first time here look like a half 2 backgrounds ... whatever it is i like it ty
I am so grateful that my son and I were able to experience this music together . Such reflection on what should be important , the answers seems so obvious at times , then the music turns off and we fk it all up again .
I’m going through the comments everyone saying they feel at peace but some of this music is so deeply haunting to me it makes me think about my past, friends long gone, places I’ve visited now so far away. Like I’m slipping closer and closer to my end collecting all of these memories that will fade away. I seriously can’t even listen to this music it makes me so sad and I’m not even a sad person.
All good music will elicit an emotional response of one kind or another.
#13 Blue Calx gives me goose bumps everytime.
i used to listen to this when I was driving back to my house leaving my ex at her place, stopped listening to music for 7 or 8 months and listening to this is like wow...............
listen to this while reading the BLAME! manga, literally made it better
Starting off with Rhubarb. Nice.
Fell in love straightaway when I saw the KF1 backdrop absolutely dope pairing with the tunes
I am tripping out thinking about time! We are living our own experiences but sharing in these ethereal moments like some collective consciousness! I’m pretty sure most of you are pretty chill people and we all would vibe. May God grant us peace in our adventures
I grew up listening to this stuff, and was lucky enough to see Richard D. James in LA many years ago at All Tomorrows Parties. I used to play this music for my son as a baby and he would cry. Now years later I understand, as he's said it makes him too sad to listen to and sometimes sounds scary when he's falling asleep. Music that elicits that strong an emotional response means it's good music. I just wish he appreciated it as much as myself. Sometimes it's difficult for me to listen to as well as it causes many memories to come flooding back.
Lichen and Stone In Focus are two of my all-time favorites.
Nice
also hi bsf

My fav is Petiatil cx htdui.
Same, but just lichen
When i listen to aphex twin i have some strange feeling that is hard to define, like i belonged in some long forgotten time or place. Like remembering some undefined moment from early childhood. Stillness, sadness, hope, all in one feeling. Like remembering of long forgotten home.
Heard this music in a game world with a friend, it was the first time I got to truly know him. Now it's bringing me a lot of good memories of not jaut that night but the brief but absolutely wonderful friendship we've had over the last near year. Though it feels like it's been decades already, and I can't thank the world creator more for introducing me to this music.
