Years ago, back in 1989 in fact, a guy started work in the company I worked for in north london. I can't remember his name it being so long ago but I remember he came from Hinckley in Leicester. I remember he used to talk highly of Aphex twin, This Mortal Coil and 4AD records who I had never heard of before. he had a friend who had a sound system of very high quality back then and they used to listen to Aphex twin etc whilst getting stoned. I was more into Hip hop at the time and wasn't that clued up about ambient, that came a year or two later. I introduced him to NWA and he loved that, anyway I digress, He became a good friend over that summer and we partied at the town & country club in Kentish Town (Wendy May's locomotion) but i never listened to any of the music he spoke so highly of. Fast forward 26 years and I'm listening to this and it's blown me away. Wow i wish i got into Aphex Twin back in the late 80's/early 90's when he first spoke about them. Time flies fast and the years roll by so very quickly. I turned 50 two months ago. I have a happy marriage, I have a good career. What have i learnt over the years? It's important to unplug via what ever method is your choice/poison. Don't ever listen to negativity, keep pushing forward. Love your family and your friends, no one else is that important. I wish I could meet my old friend from hinckley back in 89.

The first time I listened to Xtal was yesterday and I liked it but I didn't know why everyone thought it was so good. Today I told my history teacher that my classmate was being bullied, I asked him to speak in private at break and we went into to another room and I told him what was going on and I broke down because I was bullied for a long time time before and it really resonated with me because I thought in my head that I was being the hero that I wished was there for me. I hope you never feel the helplessness of crying in front of your history teacher, but my tears then could have prevented thousands more tears for my classmate. It was only then as i was writing in my diary 5 minutes ago about this, (I want to record all my experiences for when I'm older, I'm 15) when I noticed myself humming Xtal in my head. Now I cherish this song

+David Reynolds That was beautiful to read. Thank you for sharing your experience... I know that feeling very well, just having to cry because you feel so much love for the world. I hope it brings you great things. Actually I feel kind of sad since I've been depressed for so long that I sometimes crave that feeling so much, yet I can't seem to reach it... and then sometimes, suddenly it is there, like an unexpected ray of sunshine... and I know I just have to let go and be open and love myself, yet I'm so scared to do so, to feel like I am really living again... I'm so afraid to even write my thoughts down but when I saw your message, David, I just had one of those moments and so I am writing this right now, I don't even care that it is publicly on KZfaq, at least I am suddenly writing about my feelings again. I got new medication that's supposed to help me against anxiety but something tells me I shouldn't put even more mind-altering shit in my brain, just meditate more, dare to go to the park more, hug a tree, love myself... but it's so hard. I want only good things for the world, I want the world to be a perfect place of love, but I always shape myself to the needs and desires of others until I have nothing of myself left... and even telling someone that I would like a little more room to exist feels like a sin. I wish I would write more often. It feels so good. Thank you so much for sharing your story David

I first came across Selected Ambient Works when rooting through a box of random tapes I found under the bed in my first student houseshare. It was a grim October and I was living in a house on the cliffs of Rottingdean near Brighton, miles from campus and my friends, and I was feeling rather lonely. When I played this album, it was like my mind was being hugged and bought a pint. From the opening synths and gentle boom of Xtal, Ambient Works is a cosy duvet on a bleak February morning, a Mars Bar after swimming, a snow-covered hill on a sunny day - full of soothing melodies and quiet spaces. Now, 13 years later, I still put it on when I can't sleep, or when I feel cold or sad, and it greets me like an old friend. I played the tape til it broke and had to buy the CD. I was very much a rock fan when I came across this album, but it introduced me to a side of electronica I hadn't previously been aware of - the after-party, the come down, the morning after, the walk in the park with your headphones on. Apparently it was massively influential and I suppose that is one reason for picking up this piece of history. But a far greater reason is the timeless beauty of the music. Buy it, love it forever.

@jjohnson1337 9 жыл бұрын

Great share! Love it how memories stick with the music that we've listened to at the time. Listening to this right now while I'm reading stuff about space. Sets the mood just right. Just pure brilliance. And one more thing,you're deffinitely spot on about the 'post party,park stroll' electronica description. And there's so much more to be had in the genre.

Human beings create the concept of 'time' and 'dimensions'; reality is ineffable and can't be conceived at all by any limited mind existing as a small part or facet of that same reality. Our mental constructs are only tools and not representative. The sense of time's apparent passage is part of the same network of illusion.

The most important thing to remember is all of this album is a heartfelt emotional expression through music. It is not a way to make money. It is not an attempt to have a 'Hit' record. It is not an attempt at becoming famous. It is simply someone making music because that is what they are driven to do. I had a copy which I made on tape and took it with me on a solo adventure and it was always a comfort to listen to, as well as a novelty for others I met.

I added this album to "watch later" some few months ago and didn't listen to it, waiting for the right time. I dare say, this album is well worth the wait.

This album is definitely exceptional. Very ambient and minimalistic but at the same time full of warmth and energy .How can it be so beautiful, melancholic, positive and electric at the same time? I love it, specially Heliosphan

Aphex Twin is the only artist who can make aggressive ambient music if that makes any sense. You HAD to be very talented or whatever to make this kind of music in "85 being only 13 or so. Kudos to Richard.

It's plausible sound's warmth gives these tunes a very delightful, envigorating even (if I can say as much about ambient!) taste. Meesa like it.

I had admittedly never heard this album before and I'm really liking it. A few days ago I heard for the first time the song "Ugly Boy" by Die Antwoord, and I loved it. Then I'm listening to this album for the first time on the same day, and suddenly at 18:16 it's like, "What!!? Why is Ugly Boy playing?" Die Antwoord sampled from Aphex Twin, but I had no idea of this. It was a strange coincidence to hear them both (original tune and re-dux track) on the same day for the first time.

This music always reminds me of the motivation I once had when I started producing, only that he kept it over the years while I lost it. I mean, it's still fun to produce, but it's nothing new anymore. Aphex Twin's music always sounds like it has been made by somebody who rediscovers music every new day.
