It just never loses any of its flavor, no matter how many times I listen to it. It has to be my most listened-to track by Aphex, by far.

I just heard it for the first time recently! At first I thought the percussion was too loud, but then I realized that I'm an idiot.

When I was in japan I used my rudimentary knowledge of Japanese to locate a ring-tone website on my cell-phone which permitted me to download a Flim ringtone for 60yen, which I used as my ring for the remainder of my year there.

hey, don't be so hard on yourself. that song is so beautiful that 4 out of 5 dental hygenists recommend that it's pretty unusual not to be stupefied by it.

yeah it's very nice, very "cool" beat with a really sweet boinky feel too it, the music is simply very good..
this thread makes me very dizzy though, all the avatars are doing things the three top ones really makes me go crazy haha.
Sneakattack's avatar is cool but slightly annoying.

you know what, and i am in the minority, and i also hate comparing the two tracks - it inevitable since they are both on ctd ep, but i have always liked iz us better, to me iz us was more melancholic and flim was always more playful, and i guess i am a sucker for the melancholy.

"to me iz us was more melancholic and flim was always more playful"
yeah I feel the same way... I guess I prefer the playful because there's enough meloncholy in my life already and it's impossible for me to feel bad while listening to flim. :)

"flim" is great - it doesn't sound that much like any other track on the EP - or like any AFX's work for that matter. it's clean and tranquil.

"it's clean and tranquil." yeah, unlike the Selected ambient works albums?
He has a lot of clean and tranquil music I would say.

I think a lot of them are. Cliffs and Rhubarb would be my two examples, but there are others. I think some tracks from RDJ's album are probably equally as clean. Bbydhyonchord i would say also sounds clean and tranquil.

Flim is excellent because it is one of the few instances of Aphex taking an idea and comleting it without being excessively experimental

Flim is a classic. It will still be played many years from now after we are all dead.

Everything is perfect in flim as well as every track on come to daddy (the first being a strange one I rarely listen to but still quite strange and aphexy in that it makes people go "wtf"). Many subtle things:
Each "bass drum" is unique, taking volume and pitch into account... the little beat is very playful and wicked.. aphex makes hypnotic music like a (cuddlefish?) paralyzing its victims with hypnotic patterns of light.. there's the complexity of the beat vs. the simplicity of the music... listen to parts 1:37 vs. 1:49 I love how the second violinish tone comes slightly further in time than the first... there's the linear repeating cymbol that wouldn't really work as well any other way possibly, but even that has a wicked little backlash on the very last one (similar to the backwards intro to the entire song at the very beginning).. though simple, the melody is excellent and nice to hear..

One way to find it is to find the ae remix (available on the front page of this site or something) that is the same way since it is made by the same person.

It's too bad everyone sucks too much, otherwise we'd have equally good quality remixes of flim (melancholy style) and iz us (playful style) instead of vice versa.
