A guy who genuinely lives and breathes music. It's his whole existence, and it shines through in his output. You know he'd still be doing it without a record deal. Without the fame. That's why he's always so perplexed by it in interviews. The fame is a minor distraction for him.

My favorite electronic producer is Flying Lotus. From AT stuff Im only really familiar with Selected Ambient Works. Which project would you say is Aphex at his best?
@2lowkey100
6 жыл бұрын
pgwwa2 his best project from start to finish is probably Selected ambient works or Richard D James album, however his individual masterpieces are just as important. Here are a few songs that are considered his best/most varied. Alberto Balsalm, Girl boy song (probably his most impressive, but make sure to listen to a high quality version, not the David Firth video version), fingerbib, Flim, Iz-Us, Rhubarb, Acrid Avid Jam shred, Avril 14th. I’d say that if you listened to all those, you’d get a good idea of his talent and varying styles, although he has even more styles because he has released music under so many different names, with literally thousands of tracks. All of those songs excluding Avril 14th were made in the 90s, which is kind of unbelievable.

That explains why he's been my favorite music artist for the last 25 years and why he calls it Braindance and also why that is my favourite genre of all time. heliosphan is my #1 fave track. it gives me purpose to share this with all the planet aphex children 🌏👽🦋💚

Never heard Aphex and Skrillex compared before … I’m from the UK (maybe it’s different elsewhere) but here aphex is a religion, skrillex is a joke … wether u worship him or aren’t a fan (like me really) everyone respects Twin as a key part of history… meanwhile skrillex is genuinely (with no exaggeration) commonly regarded as the worst thing to happen to music… I don’t mean to be harsh but I’ve genuinely never met a skrillex fan before let alone someone who knows about other non ‘bro-steppy’ music … let alone music like aphex… but now I see a ton of comments mentioning him… maybe I had him wrong?

What makes him different from other electronic artist is that his music stands out. You can go back to his debut album listen to it and you wouldn't think it came out in 85 or 92. It's timeless. Even after listening to the newest album, he hasn't lost his touch.

I think the clip at the end sums it perfectly. It's possible, although not necessarily easy, to describe RDJ's music in words but without experiencing it for yourself you could never understand what makes it so unique. I think film critic, Mark Kermode was quoting another reviewer when he used the phrase 'it is a film that is a film', in describing a film that operates on the level of audio-visual experience and defies explanation in words. I'd extend the same description to the music of Aphex Twin, "it is music that is music".

But if we don’t talk about electronic music, how does it get shared and heard? I like telling my friends about instrumentals I find a cool and why they stick out to me. If there’s texture in a song or some unique instrument in there or the mixing of the song is next level or the bassline makes me feel something spiritual, I want to tell someone about it somehow. Maybe not go into full blog-post detail since i don’t know every musical term, but express my feelings about it to maybe get someone else to hear it. I think there’s a conversation there for electronic music but I can how it can turn sour pretty quick.
