I noticed that a third definition for rhubarb that's popular in Britain is "the noise made by a group of actors to give the impression of indistinct background conversation or to represent the noise of a crowd, esp. by the random repetition of the word “rhubarb” with different intonations." and in the distant background of the track there appears to be a lot of computer noises going on. Could this represent some kind of computerized conversation going on? I've often felt like the noises were speaking to me when I let my mind focus on them combined with the music. Just a thought. |

not just popular in britain, "rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb" is used all over as a placeholder word for background conversation. more on point, honestly, i don't know if i've ever noticed any 'computer noises' in rhubarb, i'll have to give it a listen on my in ear monitors. |

It's in the far far background. I've never heard anyone mention them actually, which always seemed strange to me. I noticed it one day while I was ridiculously "intoxicated" and really focused hard on listening to the track. It really changed the whole mood of the track for me as well... I used to always hear it as a gentle sort of sadness, but the noises made it seem strangely far more depressing. Like I said, they almost seem to speak to me when I'm in the right mindset. I feel the same away about the voices in "Cliffs" but that's a different story. Also, they may not be "computer noises" exactly. They could be anything, but to me it sounds like a crashed computer making noises or something like that. |

I personally enjoy all of them in some way. Some of them sound better when I'm in a mood that seems to fit the song. When I really take notice of just how many layers are in the song and the way they flesh out each other, they blow my mind. |

aha! Reynoutria japonica - Japanese Knotweed, Donkey Rhubarb Forms thickets of stout, rather zigzag, red-brown stems up to nearly 6 feet (2 m) high, with broad pointed leaves straight at the base. Flowers white and feathery. Many of us know it as Donkey Rhubarb - presumably because one would be a donkey to attempt to eat these rhubarb-like stems. Also known as Polygonum cuspidatum. A very aggressive invader of disturbed and shaded habitats. |

He changed the way I perceive music and I am a producer, so he changed the way I make music. Music is a reflection of myself, so therefore he changed me. I wasn't really thinking about my name when I made it, but I reckon that's what I meant. Back to my original post, I noticed when I played Rhubarb loudly in my car tonight, I couldn't hear the noises I mentioned, but instead a minimal drum pattern I never noticed on my computer's speakers until I turned the car's system down, and then I could hear the noises but not the drums. |

Seeing your post count, that is a huge compliment. Thank you. And sorry I didn't thank you sooner. After my last post I've been listening really closely to a lot more Aphex Twin and I've heard a lot more shit that I've been wanting to post in this topic. First of all, there are more hidden noises in Rhubarb. What I thought was a drum pattern has begun to sound more like a slowed down and heavily processed field recording of a fan blade rotating. I don't know how else to describe it. And at the very end of the track (more people may have heard this but I didn't hear it until the other night for some reason) there is what sounds like a processed recording of Richard laughing or something along those lines. Perhaps it's just a really well done noise. I've noticed other things in different songs that I've now forgotten, but the most recent one I remember was that in Logon Rock Witch, I could hear Richard saying "Hey, what's up?" in correspondence with the beat. This one is so far in the background that I questioned how I was at all able to pick it out from the ocean of sounds. I can only hear this one when played really loud on a good system. Also, I may sound insane but all of this listening has evolved my consciousness I feel. I swear that the last time I listened to cliffs, I felt like I was a giant, and then I heard the voices saying "Get small, get small, get small..." and I would feel like I was shrinking. I also felt wind blowing inside my car in intervals. I thought the A/C was just on after the song, but lo and behold it wasn't. It felt very organic and euphoric in a way that seemed impossible. I also started talking to my friend the same night about how I thought insane people might be misunderstood geniuses due to my experience, and he brought up that Aphex Twin had said the same thing in an interview he read. I was mindfucked beyond belief. Anyway, long post was long. Just felt like sharing. |
