My personal favorite is “Mt saint Michel+saint Michael’s mount” from Drukqs, Heliosphan, Lichen, Rhubarb, IZ-US, Alberto balsalm, and Aisatsana, are very close contenders.
Avril 14th is peak but I prefer Aistatsana myself. That one deserves recognition on the same level as the “iconic godly Aphex reflective melancholic tracks” (Avril, Rhubarb, Stone in Focus, etc.) My actual favorite tho? Sekonda.
Thank you for such a great discovery! I listened to it for the first time after reading your comment. My personal favourite is MARCHROMT30a Edit 2b 96. Also highly underrated one (the final quarter of the track is absolutely superb)
@@whatter No problem, enjoy! I think the Analords are a very underrated piece of Richard's releases. He was going through divorce then and it shows imo by the tone of the songs, I get similar vibes but more erratic through The Tuss. Also the fact he credited it to a couple makes me think he took his emotional troubles hard. Lisbon Acid is instead apparently named after an ex of his he missed.
oh man rhubarb is one of those, makes me feel like in a void where i'm just be thinking on existencial thoughts and don't really know if to feel sad or happy, brings a nostalgic but weird liminal feeling, one song i can be laying down my bed just there, and just there
@@xenopis7862 nah, it's ok I was just trying to be funny because I saw potential for a joke I've probably made that exact typo in the past to be honest so I get it
Fun list to go through, avril was and is my fav. Alberto is very good too and was nice to listen to Flim it’s been awhile. Might be the first one I heard or liked of his way back when. Iz us is also very good. Love them pretty melodies.
as someone who's listened to like 33% of aphex twin's spotify stuff, allow me to give you guys me opinion songs people love dearly but I don't, or think it's average: stone in focus (by far), ageispolis, aisatsana songs that I think deserve more praise: circlont14, parallel stripes, curtains, start as you mean to go on, to cure a weakling child, girl/boy song, ziggomatic 17 and by far my favorite aphex twin song (heavily influenced by my taste in rhythm game music): mt saint michel + saint michaels mount
So my favorites are likely some of the very first ambient tracks I heard like Xtal and Rhubarb but I enjoy underrated classics that weren't mentioned here like Pulsewidth and Mookid a bit more these days.
My favorite is 4 but I think my opportunity to grow out of it has passed. #17, Girl/Boy Song, and bbydhyonchord are in my most enjoyed list as well, and I like to listen to Delphium and Ptolemy when I clean out my fish tanks.
@@justanidmenjoyer29 That's the joke. "Fans" who don't know the difference between artists are almost as bad as Jvnko stans who think d'n'b is breakcore.
I like the really abrasive ones, so Mt. Saint Michel + Saint Michael’s Mount, Omgyjya Switch-7, Bucephalus Bouncing Ball, Formula (Because I hate my ears), and Tamphex would be the ones I go for.
I liked Afx237 V.7 the most when I got the Drukqs album back in 2001, which is the early Rubber Johnny track. Also Milk Man is pretty nice and Bucephalus Bouncing Ball is cool as random tracks.
I like how all of these are 99% of peoples favourites
Ageispolis just hits different, don't forget Xtal
My personal favorite is “Mt saint Michel+saint Michael’s mount” from Drukqs, Heliosphan, Lichen, Rhubarb, IZ-US, Alberto balsalm, and Aisatsana, are very close contenders.
based pfp
@@physicschaosdev finally someone noticed
@@0ContentDeleted0 a moon shaped pool
St Michael's Mount is the correct answer
@@jyjjy7a very good choice (but vordhosbn though)
I will not accept this 4 slander
Spent the whole video waiting for Rhubarb and then got scalped at the end
Lmao
@@justanidmenjoyer29i actually enjoy tha, green calx and even rhubarb, also helipsphan and some others, just because they sound cool.
One of my absolute favorites is cock/ver10, such a chaotic song 🔥🔥
This one actually is the right answer tho
It’s not only one of the greatest it’s also the best named song ever
Anyone want some Aphex Acid?
GOAT
Real
my favorite ∆Mᵢ⁻¹ = −∂ ∑ Dᵢ[n] [∑ Fⱼᵢ[n−1] + F extᵢ[n⁻¹]]
And then there's me who loves Come To Daddy (Pappy Mix)...
Based
as an xtal enjoyer , i can confirm i sing this at shower and im annoying
I think you could play “Oh you’re cool I like you” for every Aphex Twin song. Except for Ventolin, definitely not Ventolin.
Well, I enjoy Ventolin but I know the tinnitus ringing can piss off a lot of people
ventolin is awesome
Ventolin is fuckin sick
I enjoy the remixes of ventolin tho
Especially the Crowsmengegus version
the ventolin is hilariously spot on lol
Ventolin hate wont be tolerated
One of the best songs
doesnt matter what is the best aphex twin song, all of them are the best
Avril 14th is peak but I prefer Aistatsana myself. That one deserves recognition on the same level as the “iconic godly Aphex reflective melancholic tracks” (Avril, Rhubarb, Stone in Focus, etc.)
My actual favorite tho? Sekonda.
Seconda is one of Richard’s best unreleased songs
@@justanidmenjoyer29 For sure. Absolute masterpiece
QKThr sitting in the corner, crying
I think my absolute favorite remains Home Made Polysynth. Very underrated gem.
What the heck, that’s my favorite too. Finally someone else who thinks the same
@@jeralua Cheers! I love it mostly for how melancholic and hopeless it is. Definitely one of the saddest songs I've heard from Richard.
Thank you for such a great discovery! I listened to it for the first time after reading your comment.

Nobody mentions milk man 😢
Vordhosbn for me. I got into Richard's stuff through Alberto Balsalm but man on man vordhosbn shattered the way I looked at music for ever.
agreed
"man on man" what's that mean🤨
@@PIZZAdayisback my bad I legit did not see that typo
@@xenopis7862 nah, it's ok I was just trying to be funny because I saw potential for a joke
I've probably made that exact typo in the past to be honest so I get it
Vordhosbn is my daughter's favorite. She's five. Definitely top 10 for me, 43. My favorite Aphex Twin song is Red Hot Car by Squarepusher.
Mt St Michaels + St Michaels Mount
The progression, the feels, it's perfect ❤
im gonna get called weird for this but tamphex is my favorite lmfao
You’re valid for this one
Nightmail 1 is my favorite, essential acid techno.
pissed up in se1 and i’m self employed been with me for years
No one will talk about Fingerbib??
I love a lot of his tracks, but Blue Calx from SAW II is probably my favorite.
you guys need to appreciate the magic of white blur 2, alongside with Tha and Xmas_evet10 [120]
Tha and Xmas are awesome but I don’t really like White blur 2
"IZ-US ? That song is to short ." (Still my favorite.)
Short but perfect
i’m self employed
26 mixes for cash is the forgotten middle child.
I like White Blur 2, love the creepy voice. My favorite is Ventolin (Praze-An-Beeble Mix)
Interesting pick
man, was hoping to see a really rare song on "no way, you actually know this one?"
I will never grow up, joyous!
Windowlicker is the greatest song ever
I'M INTO THE CLASSICS BABYYYYYY
Ventolin is definitely in my favourites, although top for me is definitely come to daddy
I can't be the only one who thinks some of the best Richards songs are on albums like Analord and Rushup Edge
Where's Fingerbib 😭😭😭
Hedphelym is my favourite at the moment.
The reverb of that super long note over the back of the synth-keyboardish notes.
Can't describe it.
my fav is #3 rhubarb
Fun list to go through, avril was and is my fav. Alberto is very good too and was nice to listen to Flim it’s been awhile. Might be the first one I heard or liked of his way back when. Iz us is also very good. Love them pretty melodies.
Apart from "Heliosphan" and "Rhubarb", my favourites are "On", "Pretend Analog extmix 2B" and "Phonatacid" I guess
i love phonatacid
as someone who's listened to like 33% of aphex twin's spotify stuff, allow me to give you guys me opinion
songs people love dearly but I don't, or think it's average: stone in focus (by far), ageispolis, aisatsana
songs that I think deserve more praise: circlont14, parallel stripes, curtains, start as you mean to go on, to cure a weakling child, girl/boy song, ziggomatic 17
and by far my favorite aphex twin song (heavily influenced by my taste in rhythm game music): mt saint michel + saint michaels mount
I would say Girl/boy song is one of his most popular songs
alberto basalm my fav ... specially cuz of these liminal spaces videos (which is how i got into aphex twin)
Blue Calx has been my favorite for the last seven years
So my favorites are likely some of the very first ambient tracks I heard like Xtal and Rhubarb but I enjoy underrated classics that weren't mentioned here like Pulsewidth and Mookid a bit more these days.
either 54 cymru beats or 180db
No Cow Cud. Day partially saddened.
Mines 000890569, that should stick me in the "your old" category
RDJ: cornish acid/Logan rock witch
Minipops is good but Xmas Eve is an even better prententious choice
Xmas eve is a masterpiece
that was awesome
You forgot milkman
I forgot a lot of songs
tha and hedphelym underrated asf
I love White Blur 2.
My favorite is actually death fuck which is by his other alias the tuss. I slow it down about 25% with the same pitch to REALLY enjoy it 😈
My favorite is pulsewidth because it has some nice racing game vibes
One of my favorites is Acrid Avid Jam Shred, pretty happy-sounding song
Same, really calming one
my fav is pulsewidth and start as you mean to go on
Start as you mean to go on is very underrated I love it
@@justanidmenjoyer29 it is
A guy just cantlike stone in focus
7 AFX [rough mix] from aphex twin soundcloud, still sounds cool
Yellow Calx has always been my favourite.
@@maccrimbo it was also mine at one point
Tuss/Analord/Soundcloud/Modern stuff
I've grown fond of #8 from SAW2 since rediscovering it in The Sopranos
Blur is a simple but effective song
White Blur 2 is actually my favorite and I'm not a liar ! 😂😅
My favorite is 4 but I think my opportunity to grow out of it has passed. #17, Girl/Boy Song, and bbydhyonchord are in my most enjoyed list as well, and I like to listen to Delphium and Ptolemy when I clean out my fish tanks.
actium is my fav
I've been really enjoying the unnerving tracks on SAW II recently, like Grass and Curtains. :)
I WILL NEVER GROW OUT OF MY 4 PHASE GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
CIRKLON3 [kolkhoznaya mix] will always be up there for me, but 180db_[130] is also a great one
Choosing a favorite is difficult but it will always do for my work 85-90 for me the best personl
what the video says are faczz
You forgot the guy who said that one song about Winnipeg was his favourite.
Venetian snares?
@@justanidmenjoyer29 That's the joke. "Fans" who don't know the difference between artists are almost as bad as Jvnko stans who think d'n'b is breakcore.
No Come To Daddy?
White Blur 2 is a masterpiece, fight me
I’m surprised by that input about Stone in Focus
I meant that usually, people who say that Stone in focus is their favorite song never change their opinion. It’s a very powerful song
@@justanidmenjoyer29 ahhh got you. Yeah that’s very true actually
i bought the computer controlled acoustic instruments pt 2 vinyl at a record shop next to my city. i sorta liked it
It’s very underrated if you ask me
”your social security number is 2”
I’m 26 💀
IZ-US....there is just something magical. A sonic symphony
Lisbon acid is genuinely his top 5 songs
One of my favourite is Stone in Focus but I’m not able to listen to it when I’m not high and that’s the main problem of this track
I love aisatsana..
I like pulsewidth
So little love for Phloam, Dodeccaheedron and Pancake Lizzard😞
Oh yeah Hankie and Matchsticks.
Liking something is always a damn problem isnt it
white blur 2 is fire tho....
Pissed up in se1 is my favorite and always will be
I was waiting for IzUs !! But wheres vordhosbn
I like the really abrasive ones, so Mt. Saint Michel + Saint Michael’s Mount, Omgyjya Switch-7, Bucephalus Bouncing Ball, Formula (Because I hate my ears), and Tamphex would be the ones I go for.

Also Milk Man is pretty nice and Bucephalus Bouncing Ball is cool as random tracks.
Ptolemy....thankyou 💅
White Blur 2, my creamy beloved covering my eyes ❤️❤️
High pitched ringing doesn't really effect me so i do enjoy Ventolin
Schottkey 7th Path
Helliosphan supremacy 🗿
flim my beloved
my top 5 in no particular order: iz-us, last rushup 10, Produk 29, alberto balsalm and stone in focus
y'all wrong, right awnser was 'Mt St Michaels + St Michaels Mount'
Alber Balsalm here! lol good video
but all of them are my favorite
i hate moans in windowsill and girls with men's faces but only for last minute it would be my favorite. i probably like loud emo songs
There's no way you left #3 that's the best one ever
