Dad was so patient waiting for some bars lol
lol
Now it’s time for Boards of canada!
Or Nosaj Thing!
100%
some Sasha - Airdrawndagger or KOZE
BOC is next in the aphex twin pipeline lol
I'll let you into a very well kept secret. RDJ IS BoC, with some front guys pressing a play button.
Your Dad is a very pure soul. You two are a lovely pair. Thanks for the great videos.
If I ever have kids, I want them to trust me with this kind of emotionally vulnerable music
This song is so epic ! feels like you found a new place, hard to explane.
I like how you don’t necessarily follow reviewer trends. It could be the new Carti one day, old Nas the next, and some wildcard Cocteau Twins or Aphex Twin. And everything you get into, I see surface songs and deeper ones as well. Keep being the most versatile reaction group.🎉 Dad always is sharp with the analysis but Kai is the boss of this operation.
For real, dropping some AFX for Dad was a good change of pace. If they do any others from this album, it should be one of the darker ones, like #10 (Tree) or the last track (Matchsticks)
Amazing choice and really insightful reaction! Would love to see more Aphex Twin, whether it's more ambient works like this or the more constructed/arranged tracks that range from beautiful and melancholic, to downright disturbing!
I love that you guys did Aphex twin!!!
Appreciate you being quiet and not interrupting much and encouraging dad to do the same. It deserves reverence.
A reaction to #20/Lichen from the same album would be great too! My personal favorite
Very Underrated
Stoked for this one!
Liked your guys' thoughts on it. It is very contemplative (I typed that just as you said it allows you to contemplate). For me it stirs up feelings that words fail to fully express, but basically "life is utterly bizarre and confusing and bittersweet...but everything will be ok, try to relax and enjoy it and appreciate the love surrounding you before it's all over". Utterly fascinating how a piece without lyrics can stir up similar thoughts and emotions in so many disparate people huh.
If you guys are looking for more ambient music I’d totally recommend Chihei Hatakeyama. Beautiful sounds.
thank you for the recommendation!
just added them to playlist ❤
OMG #3 is my favorite song by Aphex Twin. Great choice! Give dad some Prodigy next if you haven't already!
Sorry ONE of my favorite songs. You HAVE to play Xtal for him. THAT'S my real #1.
@@RockyVegaTVstone in focus 🔛🔝
Amazing album!!
Loved this! I've been listening to Aphex Twin since I was a kid. It would be really cool if you showed your father "4" from Richard D. James Album, it's my favorite tracks of his.
I wish my dad was here to listen to afx with me. You're so lucky bro. This was a pleasure to watch.
Dad needs to listen to some Brian Eno 😊
DAMN YEAHH!!!! I'M GLAD SUCH VIDEO EXISTS!!!
Need more Aphex Twin, an entire album would be sick
Ok your Dad is wearing a Tupac tee (already checked those reactions a while ago) and now listening to Aphex Twin. Excellent artist choices.
Very pleasantly surprised with this reaction, Im a huge electronic music fan. Stone in Focus is my favorite one from this album. "Carbon Based Lifeforms" is another great artist similar to this style.
Please show some music video's of aphex twin to your dad! Like 'windowlicker' or 'Come to daddy'
listening to ur dad describe his imaginary view of the song actually gave me shivers. keep up the great work.
it feels like in the 90s on the weekends..
thank you for this, i love aphex twin. i recently watched your mos def video where you guys mentioned busta rhymes and a tribe. i would love it if you could react to one of their songs or albums!
❤️
Hey, firstly thanks for the awesome videos you put out, it’s great to see a different take on the music reaction genre.
Few suggestions to explore:
- Tupac: Do for love or It Ain’t Easy
- Logic: Open Mic/ Aquarius iii
- Wycliffe Jean: Gone Till November
- Goo Goo Dolls: Iris
Very much in the Trip-Hop space. If interested check out Moth Equals (Border, Heavens Opened and Closed, Honey Trap). Just an absolute master. Great review!
Cool unexpected choice guys!
edit: now I'd like to see dad respond to Windowlicker. Or even better Chris Pennie do Come to Daddy with not a single bar the same drums. Insane.
Get him to react to one of his later drill n’ bass tracks 😁
More electronic ambient please! Carbon Based Lifeforms - "Frog" would be a good one
Great video. Love watching you guys. I just have a suggestion for an 'Ambient' song you and your pops might want to check out. "Radio Right Now" by Felix Laband.
Along with "#3" by Aphex Twin and something from Boards Of Canada such as "In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country", I'd consider it one of the greatest 'Ambient' songs ever made. It's incredible.
Love the ambient reactions, you don’t see many of them on CZcams. I recommend Tim Hecker
#13 #24 from the same album would be epic
Or Mt Saint Michel + Saint Michaels Mount from druqs. That one is insane
You should both also listen to Sekonda by Aphex Twin, its a bonus track added to the warp store for ...I Care Because You Do, and its available only on CZcams and the Warp Store and other random places
One of his best tracks and it didn't show up until he released the soundcloud trove. Musical genius.
I've also always gotten death from this song. It's profoundly sad in a way I've never heard in any other song. In a strange way it's one of the greatest songs ever made imo.
Gotta play some of that Aphex Acid from Drukqs next! ‘Mt Saint Michel + Saint Michaels Mount’
the dj screw poster goes hard
I would be laughing too showing songs from Aphex to someone. I'm used to them, experimental and ambient music, because is my favorite genre, but I know you need pacience to listen to them, and we live in a world where living calmly and patiently is really difficult for people. This video made me realize that I would have a gift from the Universe if I could listen this type of music with someone who can feel it like I do.
I’d be interested to see his reaction to QKThor/Penty Harmonium.
Also check out: Steve Roach - Structures from Silence
So real for not cutting during the reaction.
✌
Phenomenal album!
This track is also unofficially titled "Rhubarb".
Would love you both to react to track #1 ("Cliffs").
Most feeling inducing song i came across is number 3 , flim , avril 14, and lichen
It's crazy that Aphex Twin is an ambient innovator considering how well he's known for breakbeat and other songs
kruder & Dorfmeister - K&D Sessions
You should do Windowlicker next, with the video
watch KOYAANISQATSI with ur dad bro. its a similarly existential experience to this. philip glass composed the soundtrack for it as well
Aphex twin is a legend :)
react to deeper by Boss ! I feel like y’all would really enjoy the song and the message behind it !! other suggestions: thug luv tupac and bone thugs, TLC no scrubs video, jodeci come and talk to me, tupac so many tears
Now you gotta react to Hollow Be Thy Squad since Xavier sampled this lol
saw Aphex Twin at Warehouse project manchester. Class act, though i would take 'garry's'
It would be so great to watch dad react to DESPERADO OUTLAWS -till my casket drops by C-BO
I listened to them a lot in college. Aphex Twin is awesome but not nearly as awesome as pops in a Pac shirt
Avril 21st and Alberto Balsam would be cool
You guys should do ‘Blessings - Lecrae ft. Ty Dolla Sign’
Krobak - It's Snowing Like It's the End of the World or April Rain - One Is Glad to Be of Service :)
Song reaction Recommendations, I haven't seen Polo G on the channel yet and I'm curious to see if pops would like his style of music his album Die A Legend is one of my favorite albums.
Polo G - Last strike
Polo G - BST
Polo G - Wishing For a Hero
Polo G - 21
Polo G - Many Men
Polo G - Dying Breed
Polo G - Finer Things
Yeah maybe the next track should showcase his other side…something hard and heavy. Many Digeridoo or a track of his Xylem Tube EP from 1992.
React to the Disintegration Loops 🤣
u guys now free. ty
The cover is suitcase with his logo on it
RDJ is a Monolote in Electronic Music , unique and timeless artist ! Peace !
Nice vid! Always lovely to see people listen to aphex for the first time :) If you want to do another track from him I'd recommend something from Drukqs album. Probably the most far off from this in all of his work. Say Mt Saint Michel or Ziggomatic 17.
You should really listen to Alberto Balsam by Aphex Twin!
Greatest artist of all time
Hell yes
Omg im suprise ur dad hasn't heard of aphex twin when aphex twin was like around his time i think
Alberto Balsam!!
your dad seems cool as shit
Please do some Boards of Canada
I thought it was about life. Then you say its about death.. haha
Definitely open to multiple interpretations. Thanks for watching. (dad)
Ageispolis next please :)
wait till he hears drukqs
Pops is about to fall asleep 😂 sht so am i to be honest
L
Burial - Untrue ?
T shirt from dad. 🫡🫡👍✅
Aphex Twin actually sampled Pink Floyd before in a song simply called Pink Floyd, however he apparently doesnt really care for them all that much, and Aphex Twin has also worked with Philip Glass before
I mean, you HAVE to watchbthe Come to Daddy video. Lol but if this song tickles your fancy, do check out INNER-CITY LIFE BY GOLDIE.
I recommend autechre as well. Used to work in the building game around the Manchester area with them decades ago. They thought we all considered them to be either gay or weird. To me they were just two guys making a living.
show him mt saint michel next, total opposite of this, while not being the extreme of aphex twins' works
Eminem - role model reaction such a good song sure your dad will like it
Perfect for a day on mushrooms
Clicked on this video because of William Montgomery 😅
is this a kill tony reference?
Please do avril 14 on April 14th ✨
Can u have Dad listen to Floetry "Say Yes"/"Getting Late" or Marsha Ambrosius "Your Hands" or "Far Away".
Or Alicia Keys "Like you'll never see me again" pleaseeeeee..😁
See how your dad reacts to Current Value lol
If y'all want to react to some wild shit then watch the Come to Daddy video of his. That's some real heavy Jungle vibes and absolutely bat shit visuals. Completely opposite from Rhubarb (#3).
I'm surprised you haven't shown Harry Mack's Omegle Bars yet. Otherwise, his last song "I Ain't Gotta Worry". Like your reactions.
Looking forward to your reactions to Busta Rhymes or MF DOOM! :)
MF Doom 💪
U need to introduce him to bladee
🌿🌴🌲🌿🌴🌲🌿🌴🌲🌿🌴🌲🌿🥀🌿🌴🌲🌿🌴🌲🌿🌴🌲🌿🌴🌲🌿
I've enjoyed the reactions I've clicked on randomly over time with you two
so I'll sub while I'm here ...
You have the kind of father / son relationship I wish I'd had with my dad
But we were both 1. very different in world view / interests
and 2. across the country from each other most of my life ...
You mentioned this song reminded you of death ...
That reminded me of something I wrote a few days ago
Regarding visiting my dad in Nashville at the beginning of April 2024
I'm 55 years old my dad was 85 :
" So often I find value is given to the reality of what a relationship IS
by HOW the other person approaches it ...
It defines it for me .
In life I had so little in common with my dad . ( Him : military vet / sports / hunting / fishing / conservative politics )
We didn't live close physically and didn't have a close relationship as some father / sons do.
I last saw my dad in person at my sister's funeral in 2016 when he was still fully himself .
After my dad's wife died of cancer , he mentally deteriorated to where living alone was becoming dangerous , so
Three years ago I visited the Alzheimer's home where he was placed by his caregiver ; my step sister .
Placing ME into a visiting room the nurse went off to fetch him and bring him in .
As he had broken his hip a year or so previous he walked in very small steps back and forth ....
miniscule steps slowly trodding forward ... ~ He approached the table where I was sitting ...
He looked at me / recognized me and made a surprised burst of emotion . so glad to see me ...
At that moment I got a sense that he didn't imagine he would ever see me again . ~ As I live on the other side of the country .
That visit I imagined it would be the last time I saw him as few to several years would pass between visits
and he was over 80 yeas old
More recently he had broken his hip for the second time and it was not surgically fixable .
So strong pain meds were given ; which often causes rapid deterioration in older men .
He developed pneumonia . and hospice care was soon initiated .
That's when my step sister messaged me that I may want to visit as it wasn't looking good.
I took off work for a week and bought a plane ticket for the next day ...
The day I arrived he was very frail ; I remember thinking his body looked like he was about to be buried ...
That's how close to death he was.
During my visit the nurse got him to consciousness and to open his squinting eyes ; she said :" for you " to me ...
I walked over into his line of sight and said ": Hi dad " ...
And I saw that slight glimmer of delighted recognition he gave me three years ago .
THIS was all I wanted . For him to know I was there .
The next morning when we arrived his body was forcibly breathing fast ; I noted his cheeks were even rosy red
deceivingly healthy looking compared to his pallor the day before
It was actually from his body overworking / unable to get oxygen to his lungs ... he was in the end stages
He took less and less frequent breaths ... for about an hour
until realizing absolute stillness and quiet
I said to my stepsister
" I think he's in the light now "
I'll treasure that time with him forever.
Our commonality was now me being WITH him as he faced death without fear .
Can't get closer than that . ".
please do xtal by aphex twin
Get your dad to listen to DMX - slippin 🤍
bon iver reaction :))
can you guys react to HI REN?
Please do Flying Lotus You’re Dead!
I thought this song was named Rhubarb?

please go listen and react to arianas new album. its a concept project and so so very special to listen to!!
u'r gonna love it
