Hello Aphex Twin Community

[travels-with-independent-music]

Deepspace again...

Today we return to this incredible ambient album.

You can get lost in these sounds… One of the most interesting tracks is the album's closing track, "Just a Pill and All This Will Stop", with its delicate, mysterious female vocals.

I have been living in my car for a week.

I’m a preschool teacher — I pour my heart into caring for other people’s children every single day. But when the day ends, I sit in my car and wonder where I belong.

I don’t have time to fight for myself. I work full days, come home to exhaustion, sickness, and the weight of displacement. The shock hasn’t even fully set in — it’s survival mode. Pure exhaustion. Pure fear.

People think if you’re working, you’re safe. That’s a lie. I’m working constantly, and I still can’t find stable housing. I’m too tired to beg, too overwhelmed to keep explaining.

But here I am, asking anyway: if you see me, if you feel this, if you’ve ever wondered how someone ends up here — it’s like this.

I never thought this would be my story. But right now, it is.

Be kind. You never know who’s sleeping in their car after giving their best to the world all day.

Today's compilation:

Likethemes 1995 IDM / Ambient Techno

Dang, man, those fellas at Warp Records really unlocked something special in the early 90s when they and their peers figured out how fucking good it sounded when you took Eno-esque ambient synth textures and paired them with IDM and techno rhythms 🤩. This mid-90s 12-inch here called Likethemes wasn't a Warp release itself, but the small Likemind collective and label that released it still counted some of those Warpers among their very own ranks, like the duo of B12, who appear here as Redcell, and Andy Turner from Black Dog Productions and Plaid, who operates on this release as Tura.

And I know I've made reference to it before, but if you're familiar with the artwork from Warp's own landmark Artificial Intelligence comp—the 1992 album that was responsible for popularizing this whole IDM and ambient/listening techno phenomenon in the first place—this record falls along those same lines; basically, you're gonna be feeling like that totally blissed-out android in the armchair when you put this record on 😌.

I struggle mightily to pick a favorite among this excellent quartet of tunes, though, so the best thing I can say about it is that if you love the earlier days of Warp, before they started signing so many fucking indie bands 😅, there's no way you won't dig the shit out of this Likemind release too. Half an hour of deeply satisfying mid-90s IDM and ambient techno chill, with lush synth backdrops constructed to hit your feels and a cavalcade of rhythms and melodies to get your synapses firing. There's a tendency for the formula that's put on display here to be highly effective, and with this release, specifically, it happens to be enacted at a very elite level. Makes sense then why the average rating on Discogs for this one is so astronomically high at a 4.82/5, because this thing really is damn near spotless 👍.

Highlights:

Redcell - "The Silicon Garden" Stasis - "Monolife (Rebuild)" Tura - "Reishi" Nuron - "Minutes"

Dear listener, if you’ve never heard of Aphex Twin before, cling fast to your genitals. Because, like a 2500-volt shock straight to the testes, you’re going to find this musical entry quite shocking! Before you smash play on the music video above, I will immediately attempt to dissuade you from viewing if 1. You are the faint-of-heart type 2. You have a medical condition that is triggered by strobe lights. I don’t want you to have a series of elaborate seizures. Go figure; you’re my fuckin’ audience. I don’t want to kill my audience on Tumblr just so it’s clear. At least, not this week. For the rest that remain; if you've never seen an AT video before, the time for your distressing and traumatic cult initiation is NOW. Smash play on the track above; it's Come to Daddy from the 1997 album of the same name.

OMFG… this guy is hot AF. I was personally introduced to AT about two decades ago through one of my stoner friends who went to basement raves to dance with glow sticks. At the time, I really didn’t understand what the hell I was listening to. A lot of it just sounded like disorganized and cobbled-together noises. However, my musical tastes have evolved, and in hindsight, I can fully acknowledge that the music of soloist and Ireland-born Richard David James was simply beyond my comprehensive grasp as a young adult. He is and was a true pioneer in the music industry, having the aptitude and talent to bring a brand-new type of music to bloom in the 90’s, that being IDM (intelligent dance music). IDM, by my understanding, is derivative of breakbeat, techno, and acid house… but pushed to the very edge of experimental extremes. It is dance music (you CAN’T dance to a lot of it unless you want to have spasmodic fits, it’s honestly more proper for exercise/home environment listening) that is custom-tailored for a very discerning and clever audience, and I find that a lot of IDM sounds itself like a living, breathing entity. What AT brought to the table was a uniquely charismatic, versatile, and in some cases downright emotionally impacting experience that I cannot in good conscience declare as useless. It is the polar opposite of generic modern melodies, as AT pushed and continues to push the envelope of modern music to its most illogical boundaries. Probably my favorite feature of AT’s overall sound is the asynchronous beats, which, while not in any way traditionally mathematical or ‘correct’ in timing, is a genuine example of that tonic path that Aphex Twin and IDM as a genre have to offer. AT does whatever others are afraid to try, and the overall discography runs the gamut from shy electronic ambient to full-on head-banging badassery. Enjoy, and there will be far more music to come this year!

If you care to pursue the actual emotional range of AT’s music, click just above for one of the most (if not THE most) emotive ambient tunes I’ve absorbed in my lifetime, Rhubarb from Selected Ambient Works Volume II (1994). And if you’re really, really in the mood to traumatize yourself, click here for one of the most disturbing music videos I’ve seen in my lifetime. I wanna make it clear, IF YOU CLICK ON THE IMMEDIATELY PREVIOUS LINK, I am in no way responsible for the mental damage it does to you as a result. YOU... are by your own free will and accord, willingly clicking on the link. I am merely providing you a path, in fact multiple paths, to explore Aphex Twin’s sound further.
