Analysing Xtal

Here's a pretty thorough analysis and recreation of Xtal.

top post. enjoyable read and listen.

My favourite song of all time, this is so interesting! 

Decent attempt and a nice write up. Listening back to SAW I, sonically I can't even right now...

great find thanks for posting this.

Really interesting article - great find, ZoeB!

Excellent read about my favorite Aphex song. Hearing that voice sample brings back a lot of warm memories.

That was excellent, both the analysis and the resulting cover. I'd like to see even more Aphex tracks analysed and covered this way.

The guitar cover he posts in there is pretty sweet too

thats crazy and incredible , great post man, you get 1 Karma point from me.

Same here, though considering how much I love this one (it is a super lush more "straightforward" Aphex Twin tune after all) it was a great one to see dissected.

One of my favorite fan covers, I appreciated the track a lot more after hearing it. Really highlights the chord harmonies.

Now for a Mt Saint Michel writeup

Thanks! 

Top notch article ! Never knew about those vocal samples, that's really amazing. Also never heard this story about the SAW tapes, makes me really want to listen to that album all over again.

Thanks!

Man, need to get some 80s sound libraries

This has really stuck with me, really fascinating

Yeah also got mad goosebumps hearing the vocal by itself:
