I got the RDJ-album for my birthday, and i was listening to
that track on my new headphones today. And suddenly, in the
middle of my walk home, I realized that i never thought much
of this track. And then i notized that it atually is a
really good track...i was almost touched to tears. This
track rules....

well...small thoughts from a Junktion

Did you cry when ET almost died? If smurfette was cast to
play the role of ET, then I would've. If have to go on a
long journey through a desert, be sure to bring an onion. If
you get thirsty, just cut the onion on a cactus which will
make your eyes watery, then you can drink your tears.
They're salty though and you might want something sweet to
go along with them, like twizzlers.

It's a good song. It could almost be used for a videogame
soundtrack...like at a boss stage or an overworld.

you can't walk and listen to music or you think too much
about walking. It's best to hit yourself in the head with a
preferably large hammer to assure a successful lapse into
unconsciousness before you listen to awesome mind wizardry
like crunch's 2 album

it was the first song by rdj that I ever heard.Could it
start more beautilful?
I still love the song with all my heart,
but now,I also know it's brothers and sisters,wich I love
very much too,
But this will always remain a special song to me......

yeah. girl/boy-song is supah. it would also be cool if
Philip Glass did an orchestrated version of it.

That would be excellent Phresch. I have always thought that
Aphex Twin should one day work with Ensemble Moderne. I
think they would do it. They did "Yellow Shark" and they did
"Music for 18 Musicians". I think they would definitely be
willing to do a project with Aphex Twin. I think Kronos
would be willing to do a collaboration with Aphex Twin also.
Maybe one day we could be so blessed...

it is quite a nice little track - very pretty. It was the
first one i really "got into" when I first started listening
to aphex.

That is one of THE defining electronic tracks. It's perfect,
such a sweet balance... abrasive/pretty, girl/boy... Drukqs
lacks this kind of magical track.

Actually, i dont think much of it!

not to be pessimistic, but notice that the drumm work is
sloppy, and energyless. the classical instruments are pretty
boring, compared to most other composers. personally i think
"4" is so much better done.

also, i once found a live version of girl/boy song, that had
much more complex snare rushes! and it was great. much
better than the original.

4 is a very well put together track.

My fave off RDJ has to be fingerbib. My heart cries
everytime i hear it. Its one of those tracks where he
manages to get down his emotions almost perfectly.

Fingerbib is good!

Perhaps you should check out Kraftwerk if you like that
song. =)

Have done :)

Trans europe express is my fave, although i havent heard
that much by them, my dad is more in them than me.

w M w

you're making me crack up with your words of wisdom,
strange that everyone else ignores them. As for Girl/boy
song, its another classic, gotta love that song.

Have you guys heard Radiohead live recordings?? that cd is
freaking great, I've never heard Aphex live. hmm I can start
a thread of whats the best concert, I think im gonna do it,
just dont bash me for it.

Ah yes, great synth in trans europe express!

i was thinking, you might want to investigate "man
machine".

theres a track there, "the model", (you´ve probably heard
it, or of it), that sounds like fingerbib, with corny
vocals!

Yeah that was my first Aphex song to.
I love that track!!!
It still gives me goose bumps sometimes.

Have you guys heard the live version that starts evil and
then goes back to normal?
Roskilde 97 ?
It comes after inkeys and the two mix perfect with each
other.

The first afx track i heard was Milkman, and liked it, so i
got girl/boy, i had never heard anything like it before in
my life. ive been an rdj fan ever since. god, such a good
song, gives me fucking tingles every time i listen to it

girl/boy song is classic RDJ, always gives me goosebumps
when the beats crash over you toward the end after the
break. i think the songs on RDJ album have such near
perfect balance and contrast in compostion, something that
the Drukqs beat tracks don't quite acheive, i think.

I've also got a life version of Girl/Boy, dont know where it
was played cuz it came labeled "A live collection" but its
alot better, with different drums and extended ending. U
know when it gets all mellow and just fades out, well
instead it goes on with the insturments for a bit.

I think thats the one i´m talking about!

it is better right?

i think the original drumms are weak, really..

i've heard the live recording. it's from roskilde '97
festival. IMO the beats in the original song fit the song
better.

Girl/Boy gives me goosebumps everytime at the end where the
drums trrrrrrrrr away, and it leaves the srtings, then as it
fades out they decend into a lower down notes and sound like
they've really been played by an orchestra, and its
incredible.

Girl/Boy song is probably my favorite from the RDJ album
also, along with Logan Rock Witch
