I know what you mean. Fast is fun, slow is contemplative, which is typical for most music I guess. But it's amazing to rediscover some of these songs [slo]'d down. :) Didn't care for IZ-US as much, but Flim is really neat like this. Definitely appreciate hearing the rhythm closer. Flim always sounded like brilliant fireworks to me. Hearing it slower after 20 years is a sweet experience.
great track.. slow, fast.. forwards and backwards. Aphex Twin, Mr. Richard D James is a mathematical and musical genius and I don't use the "G" word lightly.
I miss being in love with people, being excited about meeting someone I instantly know I like because they'll be the kind of person who will laugh with me over squished frogs and frame them, or delight in the flavor of a freshly picked oranges or cherish a beautiful cabbage. The people we share magic with in this world are so few and we are incredibly lucky to share time with them. Loving them is more like a dream than living.... or living becomes like our dreams. When we stop dreaming, for whatever trauma that happens in our life, or creeps back into our lives, it's a strange life to live. Is there love if our dreams leave us? Things felt possible before. Dreams felt possible. Now the choices I make are devoid of dream, of feeling. There is an apathetic resignation towards the events and encounters in living. The only dreams that keep me alive and that nourish this soul are the ones in which two row purple barley waves in the wind, the ones in which cabbages bloom (something I have not yet seen!), or where the warm bay swallows me up into the ocean. There is a love unknown to me which I must love, and deeply; it is me. I'm not there yet. IZ-US is like this to me.
@@tyronearnold6692 Not advocating for myself, my own wants and needs, is something I have done but must do no longer. I am aware of this and my body agrees to change. I wish you the best, though I am saddened to hear you are in your death bed. Every and any moment we have in this life is a moment we can make change to be who we fully are and want to be. May you have power in the end of living.
Lol, what a bunch of rubbish, bipolar hearts and happiness never cross each other. Today you think ur Jesus, tommorow u order suicide pills from Ebay. Get a hold on yourself.
It weirds me out to think about how ahead of time these people (Trip-hop scene or whatever) were/Are. The 1st song sounds lik a lofi beat ffs 💎 ~ Cv$per
My understanding is that it’s a sample of his nephew’s voice. He wanted to get something but have it be authentic, so he made a face to get a verbal response
