I'm 60 years old. A lot of ups and downs in life, as I suppose there are for most people. I put in my earbuds and walk in the night to the grocery store with this playing. It gives me a sense of gratefulness for being alive. There's a full moon tonight, shining through light clouds.

I listened to Aphex Twin as a teenager to calm my anxiety. It's now years later, and I'm here playing their ambient works as lullabies for my sleeping baby. She is such a happy looking baby rn and I could live in this moment forever

[slpe]

There’s nothing like falling headfirst into the immersive ambience of the music….. and then getting jumpscared by a subway sandwich ad at full volume

Rhubarb will always have a spot deep in my soul. Such an amazing piece of music.

[ChiefSuperior]

After nearly losing my life, I never really processed it. But hearing this really set it in. I made it, I survived, I have a second chance at life, so don’t waste it. Don’t ever waste your life man. Don’t worry about superficial things. Do what you love. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Just take it easy.

[OtherworldEscape]

_Stone In Focus_ IS...THE...MOST immersive piece of ambient atmosphere I've ever encountered. It's transcendent, but yet so simple. It sounds to me like a theme of Earth itself.

[rikkij]

I'm a college student, studying abroad in Germany. Been pretty depressed, slacking on assignments, room is getting dirtier. Trying to make up on some work. Feels like this mix is all that helps me focus sometimes.

I've always been a daydreamer. When times got tough, i always retrieved back into my imagination. I lived off of my dreams basically, to the point where it got in the way of my daily life. I've finally made peace with the fact that there is a time to live and a time to dream, and i can't give into my desire to escape reality all the time. Whenever i do give myself that privilege though, it is always to Richard's music. It brings back all my fantasy worlds, all the wishes I've suppressed. His music reminds me of all the people I've been, of all the pain and all the joy, the random memories that make me feel warm inside. And it keeps me going. I am finally pursuing my dreams in a concrete and proactive way instead of keeping them inside, from fear to hope that they'll actually come true. I am so grateful to be alive and to have so much to live for. I hope this comment will help people who need comforting, as well as a little motivation to push through fear and shame, and to dare to live. I know i will be coming back to it from time to time, when remembering gets hard. Love to you all. May we always remember that life is worth living, and that we are loved and appreciated, and that our efforts matter. Godspeed to us all ✨✨

I recognize that level. It's from Killing Floor 1, I don't know which map. But I took a screenshot because I too thought the scenery was relaxing

[-Tidgy]

To anyone here struggling
Keep going, never stop. The earth continues and so must we.

[TheAmberBreeze]

Rhubarb is one I’ve been listening to for almost 15 years. It takes me back to being a teenager and having no worries. I was just looking forward with hope. What a time.

[MatheusMPL]

Knowing this guy is a self-taught musician that made all his synthesizers from scratch just blows my mind to the skies

[pragadoyoutube]

It's 04:04 am on a sunday, i'm home after a full saturday. I'm halfway through the playlist while studying and writing an article for an upcoming academic event, and Aphex's music makes me feel like everything's under control somehow. It's the first time in a very long time that i genuinely feel relaxed, and not wishing i was somewhere else than where i am.

"The rain tapping against the glass only amplifies my sense of isolation. It's as if the droplets are trying to break through the barrier and reach me, but they never quite make it. I find myself wondering if anyone else feels this way, if anyone else is standing in a dimly lit hallway, gazing out at the city below and feeling as alone as I do.
As the rain continues to fall, I can't help but think about the people who call this city home. Do they feel the same sense of loneliness that I do? Or are they able to find meaning and connection in a world that often feels so cold and unforgiving?
Despite my feelings of isolation, there's something about the city at night that draws me in. Maybe it's the bright lights, or the distant sounds of laughter and music. Or maybe it's the hope that somewhere out there, there's someone else who feels the same way I do."

[Ju_who]

Dude, I feel so good when I listen to Aphex Twin in the silence of the night. It's just a lot of peace

[Miggggy]

Close your eyes, lay down in a dark room an let your imagination take control. I just had one of the most peaceful moment in my life listening to this.

I dont think Richard will ever make something has monolithic, atmospheric and absolutely grand as Selected Ambient Works Volume ii. It's one of those albums that just comes in a lifetime and never to be replicated ever again.

Aphex Twin’s music saved me form depression in high school. It was literally like rehabilitation for me. His music has such a soul to it, that I cannot describe with words. It’s almost like God would’ve made it for pepole. I can’t say how thankfull I am for this guy

[jasso.]

Lichen sounds to me like i somehow awoke in what i dream up to be heaven. Vast green plains, flowers blooming all around, insects buzzing and flying, feeding off the plants, a blue sky bathing everything in the light of the warm spring sun, with a soft breeze tingling the skin. And clouds, low and fluffy, with a perceptible yet slow movement. Everything sort of glittering and shining, alive and harmonious.
