Acrid Avid Jam Shred

Acrid Avid Jam Shed userped Faltermeyer's Axel F and Peter Gabriel's Big Time to become my favorite track ever in 1995.

It is the dreamiest most surreal perfectly balanced song I've ever heard and most likely will ever hear. I want this played at my funeral.

wrong forum but yeah, every time that song comes on i cant help but jam out on my invisible drumset

my fav from that album

I bought that album in 98 or 99, but I never bothered to look at the track titles. Even now, I'll just drag the whole folder over to ye olde em pee three player without considering the individual files.. I may have gone for years without knowing the name of that track.. It's a true classic and a longtime favorite.

On a related note, does anybody remember the live set in which RDJ drops this stellar track--and hard?? As I recall, there's also a lot of Squarepusher in the set (a bunch of classics from Selection Sixteen)... It's not the best recording, but it's one hell of a fine set. I can't seem to find the file...

10/10

this and alberto balsam are my faves from the album

i like how it takes its time too. nice and long. you just put it on and you know you're just gonna be groovin. holy fuck is this song good. oh my god. holy shit.

It's from DJ Aphex's last performance in America, 2002 ATP. I couldn't stop smiling when I heard it!

Ah, thanks! I thought it was ATP, but I only checked '03. Here it is, in all its glory. Beautiful.

this would be a good track to listen to if one was on morphine or something. so chill.

Such a great track.

That synth line melts off my balls.

Yes I love this song very much.

Parts of it remind me of Weathered Stone, for whatever reason.

I second that motion. Better yet, post an MPEG of it or something. Please?

i gotta dig up that tape. i think Joyrex has a copy too. Mike_Haggar has the original 8mm cassette. let me see what i can do.

do it... and let the english see you do it!

I sent it to Joyrex way back to put up on the site and he never got around to it....

you still got that camcorder cassette?

I don't think so......but I do still have the VHS tape of it....

rock that shit homey!

The synth-line that comes in around 3:45 is quite clearly one of the best he has ever put in a track!

The way he plays with melodies entering the song, disappearing then coming back in again, variation etc is fascinating

i wouldn't expect anything less from the worlds greatest song.

I hadn't listened to ICBYD in almost five years until about 2 months ago. I forgot how awesome this track, Wet Tip Hen Ax, Alberto Balsalm, Cow Cud is a Twin... okay nearly the whole damn album is. I would love to hear this set in question as well.
