Rileman Group: Members Posts: 93 Joined: Jan. 2004 Posted: May 07 2007, 10:24 Anybody who listen to Aphex Twin? I got two albums of him, Selected Ambient works II and Drukqs. Most of all I like the ambient, relaxing tracks like Stone in focus, strotha tynhe, rhubarb etc. Really good music! -------------- It's not easy going where no-one goes, and no-one knows...

Thea Cochrane Group: Musicians Posts: 445 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: May 07 2007, 12:22 I also like the track Rhubarb, probably my favourite from that album. Selected Ambient Works 1985-1992 is worth a look too. His best known songs are probably "Windowlicker" and "Come To Daddy" which are a bit more abrasive (particularly the latter) but technically quite amazing. Oh, and the videos are well-known too for being a bit disturbing. If you are looking at the videos online be aware that the unbleeped version of the Windowlicker video (NOT the song) has quite a lot of adult language. Hope that makes sense. If you like the more Ambient side of things, you would probably also enjoy anything by the Boards Of Canada. Back to top

Sir Mustapha Group: Musicians Posts: 2802 Joined: April 2003 Posted: May 10 2007, 15:15 I have very little of Aphex Twin - namely Selected Ambient Works vol. II, Come to Daddy EP and Windowlicker EP. Very intriguing and smart music. I intend to get more of him when I can. I also like Boards of Canada and Squarepusher very much. The latter's Hello Everything is an excellent album. -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: June 08 2007, 04:13 YES I saw that too, Sally Oldfield on Rubber Johnny. Could it possibly be the same person? It couldn't be?! This is the only thing I know about Aphex Twin except didn't they do something with Kate Bush once? I think it was called Utah Saints or something. -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Back to top

Holger Group: Members Posts: 1506 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: June 08 2007, 06:05 Utah Saints used a sample of Kate Bush's "Cloudbusting" on their track "Something Good", with her approval. There's no relation between them and Aphex Twin though, as far as I'm aware. As for the Rubber Johnny thing, I seriously doubt it's the same Sally Oldfield. Back to top

DarkFeline Group: Members Posts: 144 Joined: Oct. 2005 Posted: Oct. 18 2007, 04:12 I've gotten to like Windowlicker after some listens, and now I have Drukqs and Richard D. James Album to complement the first Selected Ambient Works album. I have to say, that guy's music pretty much takes the cake!   -------------- Who's your mummy, where she go? Back to top
