is this perhaps aphex's most perfect ambient piece? the minor chords invoke in me the sorrow and nostalgia that lichen does, but keeps it going over a much longer period, while instead of becoming boring, it becomes more and more intense.... the bouncing ping pong ball makes me think of the passing of time and how perhaps i'm wasting my life at the moment.... it's incredibly powerful stuff. makes me want to cry. |

I love stone in focus, but I also love tree and lichen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never heard it. go to bleep. feel guilty if i search on kazaa. |
||||||||
|

It is one of my all time fave Aphex tracks, I can leave it on repeat for hours, days even....months. And as has been said, for such a seemingly minimal track it never gets boring. Typical Aphex behaviour not to put they best track on the CD though. |

|
dog_belch - what? [re that last comment about not putting the best track on the cd] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah whats the story behind this?...it was left off all saw2 releases except for in the UK....sadly my copy dosent have the track |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fuck! that must suck. YET ANOTHER reason why i don't pay for music.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what are the other reasons? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My copy of SAWII had stone in focus, then again I bought it used. My favorite on SAW is most likely Blus Calx, Cliffs or weatheredstone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought stone in focus was only on the vinyl and all cd releases didnt have it due to time constaints, i may be wrong tho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nooooo.....I swar' Stone in Focus is on my CD. I dont know why, but it is. OR I'm crazy. Lemme go check... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its not on mine :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Weeeeeird. It is a great song though.....think maybe they released it on earler versions of the CD or something? Because my case didnt look like everyone elses case, and it was scribbled on. I like to think sometimes that Richard D James wiped his butt with it once, and it slipped through his fingers to ME!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Hankie" is left off of the US version of the CD, but I didn't think "Stone in Focus" was on any CD, apart from some compilation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we need phob to settle this or joyrex as a second best |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just keep in mind.....I cant be sure. Mebbe you guys are right, but I SWEARS I have it on an official Cd or something. Damnit. I HAVE to go check now. Most likely I'm fulla shit, so dont worry. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yup 3. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
3 discs? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can you scan the cover or the discs so we can all have a nosey peer at them? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah......why, zat weird? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have no scanner right now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
even phob doesnt have it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
every time people have talked about this track i thought they were talking about weathered stone, for some reason... i wonder if i have even heard this track before... *fires up slsk* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Because it's only two discs.... and you have three discs. SPOOKY. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe its pirated from Vinyl..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can you put up the cat no and label |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree, it does have a bit of spook to it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my favourite afx ambient track is definitely tree, though... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If I can find the sleeve/case thingy....gimme a sec. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that would make sense |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The names of the tracks aren't official so i suppose they wouldn't be on the CD, if they do appear on the tracklisting... what am i trying clumsily to say? I don't know. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I believe so!!!! the latter maybe>? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
from the looks of it you have a rip of the ltd ed brown vinyl |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Methinks so. this Dj dude gave it to me for my birthday last year or so. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ive just got a crap mp3 on my pc and the cd i will buy the vinyl one day |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this will hurt. Dj friend got the vinyls for 10 bucks at a used record shop in LA, I'm quite sure. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its similar to being flicked in the balls |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah it is fantastic. I wish it would develop a little bit though. I feel like working out the chords... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup. hurts bad. |
