I was curious to know how many of the Nexians are into Aphex Twin and if you are as excited as I am about his latest releases (especially the soundcloud account)?  For those who might have missed it https://soundcloud.com/user48736353001Did any of you ever journey with the music and what albums or tracks are your favourites? Anything to do with Aphex Twin is welcome in this thread.

I love Richard D. James! SAW is one of my favorite albums. It's exciting he is releasing new material again under Aphex Twin, although all his recent Analord stuff under AFX has been really good (I think better than Syro) too. I'll have to check out that soundcloud, all the leaks of Syro were fake but one can always hope . He who sees the infinite in all things sees God.

I'll definitely have to check that out. SAW was awesome, then SAW II came out and I have listened to it continuously since then. Great for lucid dreaming. Alberto Basalm, Rhubarb, flim, just to many good ones to list. First time I seen the Rubber Johnny video right after smoking some good buds I laughed sooo hard, how does one come up with that kind of stuff. Truly a unique individual, musician with no boundaries.

Alberto balsam and flim I could listen to exclusively on repeat for my entire life and be happy with music.

How many artists do we know who would do something like that after having all that success already. More than 150 tracks just thrown online for us to listen to... Just amazing.

The ones on the soundcloud that stand out for me are these two: https://soundcloud.com/user48736353001/28-organhttps://soundcloud.com/user48736353001/15-sekondaBut there are tens of other good tracks to be found.

I'm sure everybody here already knows that Chris Morris made extensive use of SAW, and other stuff, with the sublime "Jam"... βI sometimes marvel at how far Iβve come - blissful, even, in the knowledge that I am slowly becoming a well-evolved human being - only to have the illusion shattered by an episode of bad behaviour that contradicts the new and reinforces the old. At these junctures of self-reflection, I ask the question: βare all my years of hard work unraveling before my eyes, or am I just having an episode?β For the sake of personal growth and the pursuit of equanimity, I choose the latter and accept that, on this journey of evolution, I may not encounter just one bad day, but a group of many.β

Clicked on the soundcloud as soon as I saw this! Awesome! βThere is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." β Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

The reviewer was going on about how twiddly and over intricate the music was getting, comparing it to overblown guitar histrionics.. My favourite Aphex Twin fact (or rumour, or misinformation) is that when he was asked by Madonna to work with her, he said yes on the proviso that she recorded herself imitating various farm yard animals. I think she ended up working with William Orbit instead.

My one and only breakthrough experience was with Analord Full series. I started from 0:00, put the headphones on. 40 mg, 5 tokes and 26 minutes later I was a changed man.
I still remember the date: 1/13/13. I attribute the intensity & immersive nature of that experience to having headphones volume turned all the way up - listening to that.
