I saw Leftfield live a couple of times last year, and Melt was by far the best tune.

Great list, but the top ten should all be tracks by Portishead. 'Dummy' was the best album of 1994, if not the entire decade.

Would you be mad if LTJ Bukem ripped off your track like that? I'd wager most artists would think that's dope and I'd think that giving something back to the sampled artist is just a good spirited thing to do.

Glad I caught this before you nuked it :D

I love this! Thank you 🙏 I got a random question do you think M3 MacBook Air 16gb ram, 1TB is enough for Ableton?

this was awesome! a series where you expand member submissions would be so dope.

Algorithm put you in my feed after i started uploading my old music and rediscovering my love of aphex twin. Nice video but more in love with your setup haha

👌Great in depth video. Inspired me to have a crack at this track for the band. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

It’s actual crystal. The title of the track.

the original song isnt even hardly a song at all; aphex did more with it

Your lad had some 4 bar loops that needed to be made into full tracks 🎶

All the "How was it made" you have.. are so much loved tracks.. after all these years is still music very deep inside me.. This one.. the fluffy clouds.. the Melt..

It always surprises me that a guy with the technical know how and ability (such as yourself) never goes forward to creat your own electronic IDM masterpiece! Perhaps you’re secretly working on a selected ambient works III? I hope so because sadly I’m sure RDJ is not going to!

Just watched your how its made videos on these and ended with this, absolutely fantastic mate loved it!

The exact amen that Bukem used in Atlantis is from Dubplate - Wots My Code

Sh1t load of compression and gate on nearly everything except. Very hard to recreate as you say. I bet there was so much tweaking it would be impossible to recreate. Hours and hours. 🤣

Wow man, what a great collection.. I know and love them all ;-) Does it mean I'm getting old ? ;-)

Never go full geek

its not "extal", its "crystal"

Interestingly enough, I used [mostly] iOS GarageBand 🎸 to compose my very own version of SPACE SHANTY but with a CHRISTMAS 🎄/FESTIVE feel to it-I’ve called it *_Interstellar Christmas._* I had to listen 🎧 to SPACE SHANTY repeatedly in order to replicate every musical 🎶 motif, riff and drum 🥁 pattern/fill etc. This project of mine (creating INTERSTELLAR CHRISTMAS) was between late 2017 and early 2020 when I was going through a *very dark phase in my life* when certain past memories plagued me repeatedly inasmuch I couldn’t create proper music 🎵 for YEARS. That said dark phase I refer to as the LEFTFIELD REGIME where I invented a fictional version of LEFTFIELD which featured people I met sparingly but infatuatedly OBSESSED 🤩 about (whom I’m choosing not to name for the sake of this convo). Here’s the Dropbox link 🔗 for that file. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/h41k01fvtz9wsta9hmipa/08.-Interstellar-Christmas.wav?rlkey=p2b0mib7x787ydgxs2s6sbiui&dl=0

Have you reviewed SPACE SHANTY yet? That melody/track/composition 🎵 is a BANGER and a *Maaaarrrrsterpiece.*

"if you have any idea how i could get closer" a quite-narrow bandpass filter? and a much-softer attack envelope?

0:12 bros gonna be so mad when he listens to hiphop 😭

Steve is just mad that xtal is more popular than his "creation"

I’ve never understood the appeal of Aphex… his music is unstructured chaos, there’s no groove.

That is such a bullshit comment. It XTAL sounds nothing like Evil at play. Evil at play is sinister, XTAL is dance!

No it is not morally wrong but it is legally wrong. He made money from it and you are making money from him and the original sample so you shouldn't judge him.

Fatboy Slim just took someone else's entire record, stuck a vocal on it, and put it out as himself. The days of taking the moral high ground in sampling are long gone.

Where is Chicane??? 😭😭😭

It's a person singing the Star Wars theme over a basic chord progression. Richard gave it life.

original was made on juno-106, in vst preset toy piano

In this case, no. The original song is 1:20 long, contains no chords, implies nothing but the vocal sample and that's it. It's actually a perfect track to sample. And Aphex Twin made a whole new deal with this tiny idea that was NOT EXPLORED by Steve Jeffries, Mary Carewe & Donald Greig. They could only come up with a minute and a half. Sorry, there's no reason to call this stealing if others had BETTER ideas for your whimsical recordings.

where is adore by i cube???

J

The snare and hat are from Skull Snaps "It's A New Day"

Organs will always have that satisfying head nod with House music. Super always!

Isnt the drum in 17:10 the one from Timber by Coldcut?

people are overobsessed with idea of ownership - nothing belongs to us forever if ever, that's just idea we impose on others and ourselves. Not this body, not this voice, not this devices were created by us, that's just given to us, as well as our talent. But someone gets overpowered by greed and jealousy, that has nothing to do with creativity.

omg i listen to this sh... and now the song from aphex twin sounds less good because i hear this original sample shit thing in my head. I can give everyone the strong advice dont listen to this evil crap

great video. Thanks for makeing it and explaining how much went in to the orignal track . Hard yo belive how old the orignal is and still sound s great

Having the same dilemma about Aira light show :)

Intellectual property is not a valid form of property in the moral sense. Not tangible.

I wish i still had this on 12inch

fire

This is so morally fucked up what they did smh

so i think with the break sample, as you mentioned you couldn't quite get the pitch to sound quite on par with the original....try tweaking the pitch, then resampling it and tweaking the pitch up, then resampling it and tweaking it down, all in cents until it's right. i would think a couple resamples with each pass in a slightly detuned pitch, you'd get it spot on. just one way of doing it.

i like how you're apologizing for using the sounds from the track for demonstration purposes meanwhile this genre of music is heavily based on lifting other artists sounds haha. thanks for this video. it's great!

Plastic Dreams (Andrea Doria "Is It Breaks?" Remix) - this track still tweaks me out to this day.

Great stuff Gyu, thank you.
