I know this question has been asked before, but since there are a lot of new members since then.... Do you see certain images in your head when you listen to aphex twin? If yes, what do you see?

Sorry, nothing for that one... Okay, Mt Saint Michel + St Michaels Mount...
The last bit where it goes all floaty and shit with the woman singing the "laaa laaaa" bit then it starts to break it all up through sharp pauses... It kinda looks like a concept to me. Its as if the mellow bit signifies peace and all of that, but it can be destroyed so easy.... hence the crazy drums and pauses. Maybe its just me.

yeaaaah, it's so agressive. full of energy. i think i behave weird while walking on the street and listenin to that kinda stuff.
i really wanna hit something or just run fast. or i just walk like dancing... it's strange, i don't see any images while listenin to music, but i've noticed i try to dance even when lying. i just have to move a part of my body to better listenin to music...
it may be a toe, a finger, my belly or something.

It's been said before, so I'm stealing someone's idea, but I read it here and now it invades my mind:
''4'' makes me think of a day in the park or something, and everyones moving super fast or jerky or something... cool stuff.
Klavbdung Michsk makes me think of someone stalking me in a clock tower or something... yikes.

I always see imagery in my head when I listen to good music. Here are some examples:
Blue Calx - walking alone in the yukon, at twilight, with the wind blowing snow drifts around
Grey Stripe - being trapped in an icy crevasse, it's extremely cold, and there are black shadows moving in the corners of my eyes, and i know i'm in trouble.
Rhubarb - a sunset at a beach
Parallel Stripes - Racks and racks of machinery and electronic equipment humming away in some dark underground facility
Digeridoo - someone being chased by something predatory in a lush jungle
Avril 14th - snow lightly falling in a quaint european town, with little houses all lit up for christmas
Btotumn Rotunda - A big parade on a bright sunday morning with church bells ringing
Next Heap With - military people being given a motivational speech by their commander, with the knowledge of their imminent death in battle

Next Heap With always gives me VIVID images in my head, ominous stuff.
Icct Hedral makes me think of someone in a coffin, but they're still alive, gasping for air. Those hisses at the start are just disturbing.

Digeridoo - Zulus with blow darts chasing you.
Pigeon Street - The eighties cartoon or the comic strip of pigeon street that appeared in "buttons" which I got when I was about 4.
Ghost in the Shell - The actual "Metal Gear" battlemech thing from the MGS games.
Avril 16th - Being in a nice London dining room looking out into the street and seeing stuff go by.
Lots of SAW 2 tracks - Clouds and being half awake.
Windowlicker - Going to the same place again and again even though you're bored of it.
Flim - A baby wolf.
If it really is me - A dark wet corridor leading to a boarded up building on the seafront in a run down town (Think the old penny arcade that used to be a dogem place in Barry Island Jonesy and Jedi Chris)

A lot of the Hangable Autobulb tracks remind me of spies and sneaky stuff. Dark hallways and buildings with guards walking around with flashlights, while some guy tries to infiltrate the security. Particularly Custodian Discount! Wabby Legs and Hangable Autobulb remind me of this too, for some fucked up reason...

Someone else said before that custodian discount made them think of a motel at night with a night watchman patrolling the halls then loads of rhubears run out.
Didn't you say before something about a guy falling then exploding into a cloud of doves at the end?

Yeah, that was me, Custodian Discount USED to make me think of that. :-) Hehe, I love that track. Either way, it involves a night watchman and an empty-ish building, god knows why.
That dove thing wasn't me, I don't think...

Rhubarb just reminds me of anything sad that's on my mind. That track is so good, it has INFINITE possibilities, in terms of mental image. That, and Autechre's Vletmrx21! Unbelievable tracks.
