seem weird to put the "Tunak Tunak Tun" video with anything Aphex Twin...

In reply to this comment by dystopianfuturetoday:
'Electronica' is an antiquated 1990's marketing term for electronic music, much like 'Alternative' was a marketing term for rock, which has since been replaced by 'indie'. When I think of 'electronica', I think of more commercial electronic music. It just wouldn't feel right to invoke electronica on Aphex Twin or Squarepusher. 'Electronic music' is a timeless term that gives electronic musicians more respect and ties them to the larger history of electronic music, which dates back to the 1950's.

Electronic Music would also be more inclusive, because it would include early electronic music, like Stockhausen, Steve Reich, music concrete, the Theremin and other such awesomeness. Electro-Acoustic music (electronic music that uses live instruments) would also be covered by this term.

I'm not a purist or an overly protective electronic music fanboy, I'm just particular about music terminology. Don't even get me started on 'Classical Music'. (Classical music is a sub genre of concert music that ceased to exist hundred of years ago - think Mozart and Haydn.) Concert music, not classical. Electronic music, not electronica.

2 cents from a musician.

remind me to never argue music history with you..........ever.

Aphex Twin couldn't have done it better.

You seem to have a hard time discerning the difference between your subjective opinion and objective reality. In other words, you seem to think that your subjective opinion IS objective reality. It is not.
You think this doesn't sound good. Great, you're welcome to your opinion. Stop watching and commenting on scratching vids. Loads of people like this sort of stuff, and think it sounds great.


Not at all , I'm saying that Evan The Dj probably thinks it still dosnot sound that grate (or if he dose he is letting the technical achievement blind him to the audible achievement) , its a good sound clarity considering the difficulty of method used to try and attain the sound , but at this point in time its not as good as it could be.

you can clearly hear that he is off beat in places , Misses drums and sounds or dose not have the play as clearly as could be possible.

Say i was the first person to juggle with 20 balls you can juggle 20 balls in a smooth intentional way or u can juggle 20 balls in a ruff and unintentional way (underpractised) , in both instances you can say that the guy is juggling but you can say objectively in instance 1 that the juggling looks terable (whilst still admiring the skill required) and that it could be done better to make it look more visually appealing.

Granted there is a degree of assumption in what i am saying As it is entirely possible that the DJ is intentionally missing beats and doing things as he is 100% on purpose but i would think this as unlikely as this DJ is spot on with timing and other aspects of scratching In other work he has done. allso he is not missing beats in the same way you get in jaz or something like aphex twin.

The aphex twin "hard edged" ending is supposed to mock the fun folksy style of the iPhone marketing?

Hm. fun folksy > aphex twin.

I think it missed the mark.

But, yay android

Aphex Twin, the band? Someone on brainz.org should do a little fact checking.
But besides that, nice list

This song always reminds me of Stone in Focus by Aphex Twin for some reason.



Anywa... I wish he would just leave us with these good memories... Enigk is way too special for me these days.

The first track Polygon Window appears on the Surfing on Sine Waves album by the Aphex Twin.

To quote the new FAQ:
Currently, 15 votes are required to sift up a queued video to the front page.

The bar was raised, ladies. If only it were a limbo contest ... instead, 1/5 of my limited portfolio wouldn't even qualify under the new rule.

The music is Aphex Twin's "Nannou" which was sifted previously here:
