Aphex Twin is so strange... I first listened to him by watching his music videos. Let's just say they are unsettling*.
What is almost more unsettling is listening now to more of his music. It is some of the most peaceful, beautiful sounds I have ever heard. It is this contradiction, between nightmarish videos and hauntingly ethereal music that gives me a semi melancholic/nostalgic emotion akin to feeling like I'm going to die from asphyxiation in the most cleansing, unobtrusive way.
