each to their own, i personally love it.

makes it sound like music for a depression medication commercial

ARE YOU DEPRESSED? LACKING MOTIVATION? HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING THROUGH THE DAY? XTAL CAN HELP

Amazing stuff. I'm surprised no-one's ever thought of covering this on acoustic before...

Avril 14th Cover on youtube is better but this is nice too :0

Not bad cover but good thing Aphex chose synths over guitar. If he hadn't I would not be able to hear any of his songs without thinking ad for kids help phone

jazz

lolling at this^

nice cover

Well done but I personaly dont like covers that much.

It's well done, but could've been shortened. I could do without the phaser effect he applied about halfway through and at the end.

this sounds really nice, although only vaguely familiar.

I dunno. These are cool, but I think the guitar takes away everything that I like about Aphex.

I wouldn't buy an album or anything; I just see it as people having fun playing music they like, and I like hearing different takes on how to arrange a given piece

yep.

also, I think it's funny that people think guitar is an emotional instrument. these covers have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less emotion than their synth counterparts. I mean, that "I'm Self Employed" cover is just shameful in this way. Totally flat.

Acoustic guitar emphasizes the cheese.

i thought that was pretty damn good, even if it was jazz.

Yes to all of the above. They're all impressive, even if they sound cheesy, but I will say out of all the guitar covers Xtal and Rhubarb standout. I've actually listened to both a few times. It's not so much that the compositions are better melodically, but they both highlight the chords and harmonics (sorry if those are the wrong terms) in a far more interesting way. Especially Xtal, I dunno if it was simply his playing and use of effect pedals, but it sounded brilliant. It echoed the lovely reverb and timbre that made the original so great in the first place.
