Aphex Twin – Rhubarb
(Or whatever it is called).
It’s on Selected works volume II
This piece of music deserves the labelling of genius. There’s no Bass, Kick drum, hi-hats, vocals. ..
Just bare strings programmed in an order to create such over-whelming emotion. That’s where the genius comes in... The Lay person will not appreciate this or even have the patience to realise its impact, just like the masses who thought Mozart was a lunatic all those years ago.
How can I compare Richard D James to Mozart? Easy...
Just listen to this with an open mind, let it take control, don’t over-concentrate.
It’s about balance and patience.
The weighted strings, rising emotion, then the killer punch...

Gets me every time

Absolutely amazing tune. A rare example of how such lyrical emotion can sit on a classic house groove. Generally I dont do vocals and my background is mainly beats, bleeps, strings and bass but when I first heard this it grabbed my heart strings. Who is Julie Wright? - bet she's a minger but that voice!
Is it hers? takes me back everytime I play it. Gorgeous! A true classic that was regrettably underplayed which can only be a good thing ;-)
