Aphex Twin The Bad Plus covers Flim

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX_Iij8Eyts

So this jazz band, The Bad Plus, covered Aphex Twin's 'Flim'. I love the original and it makes me happy to see more and more people discovering the genius of Aphex Twin. Not the best cover ever but check it out.

fucking awesome. wow. the drummer's interpretation is great. nice find. has this been properly released?

i dunno, i'm not sure if they just do like a live encore of it or if it's from an album. as far as i know it was just released!

Wow - nice find

i've got a couple of albums by these, both really good. Give and These are the vistas - Flim is on the latter.

awesome, great info rambo, cheers.

There's 3 of them btw, which is also known as a trio (french for three)

so it's a jazz trio, not a jazz band?

i bet they got this idea from alarm will sound.

i would refer to them as a flock

@essines

I'm going to have to do some more research on these Aphex Twin guys. I heard they have a tank!

we all know who Aphex Twin is you idiot....we are talking about this Bad Plus Collective...sounds very interesting.

good find~!

remember they did all those aphex covers so we started saying "jazz band covers aphex twin" on wattm?

i noticed in the youtube comments that the drummer is exceptional....could this be the tour drummer for squarepusher!!?!?!!!

no no no

they have a bank

the guy who told you that must have mispronounced "t"s as "b"s

so a jazz parliament then?

anyway, is the drummer really from rush? i heard he was in accident

the album "DRUGS" was recorded in a bank vault if i remember correctly...

so I mention this a year ago and get cut to shreds...

The album is "These Are The Vistas"

the drummer has just one arm. that is just an incredible story of triumph over the odds.
