The Beauty of Being Numb

The Beauty of Being Numb never seems to get a mention here, probably because only the second half is RDJ, but it is essentially godlike.

It seems to incorporate nearly everything of the ICBYD era....analogue, messy machinery sounds, a kind of dreamy atmosphere and those perfect melodies while generally reatining that amazing earthy feel.

Yeah, lovely song, the ending drags on too long though

yeah his remixes for NIN are pretty good

At The Heart Of It All was the first Aphex Twin related thing I ever heard and is still one of my favourite tracks of his. Real deep sound of melancholy running all the way though it, a beautiful track...

yeah bpete same here

lots of people here seem to have gotten into aphex via NIN

i'm actually shocked! (that it took so long for an aphex fan to hear 2 of his best songs)
