  • Finally decided to transcribe and record this gem. Have always thought this piece would sound so beautiful with the resonances of the harp and have tried to stick to the original as much as possible. I hope I've done it a little justice :)

    This was absolutely beautiful. As far as I'm concerned, Aphex Twin is the greatest artist from the last 30 years. His first album, Selected Ambient Works:Volume 1, is commonly cited as the greatest and most important album for electronic music and that it was the electronic equivalent to Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon.

    Immediate goosebumps all over body, watery eyes, smile on face.
    Very good cover.
    Wish you well.

    You made me look in the mirror and just move... pull faces.. dance. I love this.

    Can't get enough of this rendition... Love the way your facial emotions shift while you breathe in as you unload that salvo of hanging chords at 1:30. It's just pure beauty in itself at that tempo as you cascade into the outro with pure excellence. Thanks for grasping my state of mind & entrancing me into two minutes of pure bliss..
