This is one of those tracks that is so good you don't want to listen to it in case you desensitize yourself to it
-
richard's spitting absolute facts on this track
-
It's like two happy computers trying to sing
-
what is your occupation sir? doo do do dooo do do doo do do doo do

i remember listening to this back in high school, 12 years ago. weird to come back to music, where it hasnt changed, but you have. like im on the other side of a chance meeting with my past self. i remember wondering who that person would be, and now im already them without trying, in the blink of an eye

Hope Richard gets compensated by the UK government, given his self-employed status and possible loss of income in this current pandemic.
-
I love how RIchard can just sit and make a fucking legendary tune and not let anything get in the way. The talent and ears he has are unbelievable.
-
I'm unemployed
-
I love how this track is layered. It starts with a fun tune and then gradually adds more little tunes and tweaks like a snowball turning into an avalanche
-
One time when I was very, very depressed ( :P ) I cried listening to this song... Just pulled the tears out of me. Was a very strange feeling :D
-
Richard D. James is truly self-employed. His heart and soul are in this song.
-
I don’t know why this gives me some kind of melancholy as if I knew this song as a child
-
The first time I heard this track, I didn’t understand it, but I knew it sounded like something really unique. The second time I listened, I was driving home after a crazy writing spree. It hit me out of nowhere - I suddenly understood the track completely. I cried the rest of the way home. This track is a special one.
-
This track feels so personal, like it's a private memory for me.
-
I like how richard d james just makes good music.
-
Gotta be one of his most underrated golden oldies
-
This is what happiness sound like.
-
Some much needed music to my ears. No words, just the perfect sounds. Confucius, if he were alive today, would be honored to know that people like Richard exist. People capable of speaking through their instruments as well as, if not better than, we are capable of speaking through our mouths, pens or text.

the sound of the analord(s) is incredibly vivid, like its playing in your home. super!

I envy Aphex Twin so much. Tons of musical genius, and tons of gear in his house to make music with. I'm slowly building a collection of gear, so maybe I can one day be like him and support myself by making music in my basement. Although he does it in a former bank (in the vault I hear, what a cool place to put a studio! I wonder if he locks the giant vault doors every night with his gorgeous gear inside?). I'll never be like Aphex Twin, but the trying, the journey, it satisfies the soul.
