Tha is one of (if not THE) greatest things ever recorded.

Post by thedisavowed »

I'm sorry. But it's true. That song never gets old to me. I want to play it in the morning and the afternoon and sometimes at night and especially when I'm tired but also when I'm awake and I want it played at my funeral. And hopefully they'll play it when I walk up those long, long stairs, too.

The greatest thing ever.

Great track but not his best in my opinion.

I'm going to have to agree with you 100 percent here. In fact, I love it so much, I even have a favorite 2 seconds...

8:37 - 8:39.

There's something INTENSELY nostalgic about the way the reverb rolls off that synth... every time I hear it I'm sent into a wave of catatonic shock and a sudden rush of memories from a particular summer in my life rush over me.

I prefer Untitled Track 3 on Selected Ambient Works Volume 2. Also known as Rhubarb. It stands out more than a lot of other Aphex Twin songs but I don't know why? It reminds me of a beautiful dream.

Rhubarb is so intense! It's sad and beautiful! I'm having it played at my funeral!

Yep, you're quite right with that one quite a nice tone I must say.

ya need to listen to it more than once, also 26 mixes for cash is the worst electronic album in the history of IDM...
