Favourite Aphex sounds

I think it's safe to say that Richard could've used alot more tambourine.

Pretty much all of 4 is one of my favorite richard moments

The sort of sonar ping in Inkey$.

The first 7 seconds of Ventolin [Wheeze Mix]..

I wonder where the Mike & Rich samples are actually from?

I've never heard any mention of the origins.

Those damn perfect sinusoidal syths and pads he always used since the beginning of his career. Namely on Xtal, Meltphace 6, Vhordosbn...

Richards Memorymoog strings, just lovely

AB5 TRACK1 is really good! it does me 2 think 2 africa traditional song but with a modern touch

ZX Speccy tapes on eGay...

weird robot-sounding noise 1:04 into schottkey 7th path

3:00-3:07 in rushup I bank 12

That growling acid sound on Grumpy Acid makes me fart every time...

Richard needs more Cowbells! like that Acid Edit of Windowlicker. ;)

Anyway for me it's a simple little thing... IZ-US is pretty much in mono throughout the song, except for little moment where the hand claps go wide in the stereo. But at 1:50 there's this subtile moment where the entire synths shifts for 3 seconds or so, the mix goes entirely weird... perfection!

opening seconds of x-tal

There is something so special about that.

I love it.

(BTW,is that scrolling noise I'm hearing in the backround the tape?)

I KNOW!!! Damn I thought I was the only one, but it truly gives me a tuss that there are more people with the same feelings...

pigeon street

That huge gurgling distorted bass drum used in Ventolin, Start As You Mean To Go On, 73 Yips...

Yeah, that one is king.

those heavenly pads in Alberto Balsalm @ 2:40

The one that sounds like a train stopping on .0180871R

The processed "Aaaaphhexxx" on Metapharistic

The bouncing synth line from You Can't Hide Your Love

that trademark pinched synth sound. It's also on YCHYL. Around 2:05 onward.

The voices from Debase Soft Palate

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'd agree with all that adding most of the sounds in Green Calx.

I love the bass-y "zshoom" sound in Boxenergy4remix (and the whistle... and just about everything else).

I love the crazy distorted tones at the end of 54 Cymru Beats.

I love all of the 303 shit all over the place, anytime.

I love the metal sound in Alberto Balsam.

I love the bass in Ventolin (Wheeze Mix).

The bass in On.

All of the sounds in Blue Calx (the pad synths, the reverb-y clicks and bass drops).

Those are my faves.

The beautiful squeals in Meltphace 6...he overlaps them slowly and it builds into this massive, epic wall of dreamy noise...then later he breaks them up into a descending melody...really amazing sound he gets there

also those bendy tones in the tune on the Mindstream remix

Didnt the apex twins play with metallica? That's my favorite sound. Scratch wat i said b4.

yeah only one of them could make it, the other one stayed at home remixing tracks of BoC on his iMac.
