Everyone seems to list Alberto on their top Aphex song lists and I've given it quite a few listens..... I just don't see it...what is the big deal???

It's a great chill song. Its got the groovy mellow beat which keeps building up then just drops back down. One of my all time favorite smoking songs.

Something about it seems kind of sinister to me...

It's a great track and among one of the most accessable Aphex Twin tracks. A pretty nice melody. :-) It's like the track is trying to tell you a story sort of.

Ah yeah I love that song, not my fac AFX song, but I love it. My friend who doesnt like AFX, well most of them dont but some of them do - said that it sounds like a song off of Donkey Kong 1 or something. And it does...

It´s the way the melodies intertwine.. Those beautiful melodies.. Alberto Balsalm is the Doric temple of electronica,, So close to perfection.

Archrival: Good description of the beat (scissors) I'd never thought of it that way, but it makes sense.
It always reminds me of waking up in the evening with a breeze coming in through the window (I once played this on loop as I slept for a few hours in the late afternoon).
I think it's the melody that makes it so calming.

The song is nearly flawless... it tastes like ice cream. Iz-US isn't too far behind.

I never used to see the big deal behind AB... I was like, "Well, it's kinda pretty, and that's it..."
Stick with it
Repeated listening does reap rewards - my fave saying, and one of my own!
