Me too, but "BTW, he uses a crapload of distortion on the guitar." makes sense then

It indicates that Aphex sang "I want your soul" etc. I thought all the vocals - "I want your soul", "I will eat your soul" and "come to daddy" were all samples from Hellraiser? Pinhead says them I think. He definitely says "come to daddy" in one of the films.

it was hellraiser 1. it wasn't pinhead, it was frank

richy did the vocals

you really think the guy who wrote that knows better?

no, i dont 'really think' that, im just interested in hearing what other people say. you got any opinion on that?

i've always thought it was a heavily distorted synth. seems unlikely he used a boring old electric guitar.

sounds plausable

I probably would have thought it was a synth but my brother told me ages ago that it was real guitar.

always sounded like a synth to me that sonds slightly like a lectric geetar

one thing is definite

Come to Daddy was a blatant piss take of the prodigy and their bullshit teenage pop smashes

firestarter and breathe and a shameless cynical ploy to sell his worst ever track to a whole new audience of retards weened on prodigy and mtv shit

It's not a bad track, and that EP is what got me into Aphex... flim, IZ-US

I recall Freddy Krueger having said it too.

am i the only one of YOU who loves this track? i get such a buzz listening to it

yea i always thought it was a guitar. he also definetly uses a guitar in arched maid via rdj and possibly windowlicker

Also in melodies from mars I hear some plucked strings of some sort.

yea, very similar to some stuff in the richard d. james album. that could be a classical guitar or even maybe a violin or classical instrument like that

i doubt it. definetly no guitar in arched maid via rdj.

everything is guitars, even the beats

im pretty darn sure thats a guitar...its especially apparent towards the end. it even sounds like a typical guitar riff, like hes just jammin out

it's definately not a guitar...

have some sort of proof? ive been playing guitar for awhile and it sounds like either a guitar or a synth of a guitar to me. i cant think of anything that would sound quite like the last diddy thats played; it starts at 3:04, and the parts before that sound like bent or drawn out guitar notes

whaaat?! course its not a guitar in arched maid! no way! its totally a synth, quite which one i'm not sure but if you listen to 'the metro' by berlin you will find a synth line which is almost identical in timbre + style to the one in arched maid. i think berlin used a prophet 5 and some sort of roland modular at the time so could be one of them.

Someone said it was a Memorymoog.

well no i don't have proof, but i've also been playing guitar for a long time and that really doesn't sound like a guitar to me... let alone the fact that rdj has never played guitar on anything else :confused:

 

it just a portamento synth line - i guess though that sort of wah sound it's has a bit of a guitar-ish tone but that's all.

 

in fact, i think i remember reading somewhere exactly what sort of synth it was by someone on this board (loganfive i think? he seems to know his stuff).

hm...well i must say it certainly gives the illusion of a guitar.

listening to it again the noo it sounds totally like a prophet 5. with the sync button pressed.

Yeah, distortion can make anything sound like anything distorted. Distortions fucks things up, so you cant tell. Play a synth through an amp simulator.
