Listen to RAC's new TBT Mixtape playlist
Check out RAC’s #TBT Mixtape along with some of his memories of select tracks and his own throwback photos below.I remember hearing “Avril 14th” for the first time and realizing that electronic music could be so much more than"techno." I always appreciated Aphex Twin's more experimental work but here's a song that really leaned on its beauty and simplicity and it stood the test of time.This was such an influential band for my early years.
I always thought they got unfairly lumped into nu-metal when they were clearly on their own wavelength. This song is a prime example of the more mellow experimental work that most didn't notice. Chino [Moreno] has one of the most unique voices and melodic sensibility.This song was such a turning point for me; these types of melodies shaped my entire writing approach. Decoupling the lead melody and emphasizing repetition while changing the bassline in surprising ways to complete the chord.
