Favourite Aphex sounds


Recommended Posts

Guest Caustic

Fanboy thread,ahoy.

 

What are your favourite sounds?

Prepare for my excruciatingly technical definitions.

 

My favourites are:

 

The high pitched "Weewooowaaaa" on XMD5A from 5:00 onward.

The swishing synthy wave-like sounds on Pitcard.

Whatever the fuck Vodka was constructed out of. Indescribable,really.

The hollow metal clangs on Alberto Balsalm.

The really cheap,tinny percussion on Hangable Auto Bulb.

The high pitched,echoey melody on Butane Bob.

The sequence on Polynomial-C. God,it's beautiful.

The organ and really abrasive percussion from Carn Marth.

The melody to Yellow Calx. That sorta sounds like a phone being dialed.

And the Steel drums on Donkey Rhubarb.

 

Top 10. Not necessarily in order.

I really like:

 

Those semi-harmonic pitches near the end of Girl/Boy (£18 Snare Rush Mix)

the trademarked high-pitched synths, but especially in Ziggomatic v17

the drums in #3 from MfM

the twanging synth sounds at around 5:07 in MSM+SMM

at the end of Carn Marth, that scratchy pitch that comes in between every beat

the beginning of #7 from MfM

the bassy swirls in Milkman

the second clang of the ventolin beat (gives me a killer headache though)

basically everything about the Bucephalus beat

The sound that's 8 seconds into the ventolin PRAZE-AN-BEEBLE mix.

Probably one of my favorite sounds alltogether.

That sweet synth at 0:57.7 on Goon Gumpas.

 

Also, I like every single second of 'The Beatniks - Une Femme N'est Pas Un Homme (Aphex Twin Mix)'. It's so warm.
