Top 10 Best Aphex Twin Songs

You do not ease into an Aphex Twin song so much as get dropped into it, half thrilled and half trying to figure out what just happened. As you move through his catalog, you hear beauty, static, melody, menace, and the kind of left-turn choices that make safer electronic music feel housebroken. One track might put you in a daydream, the next might sound like a machine having strange thoughts at 3 a.m., and that wild range is exactly why ranking his best work gets so addictive.

You are not just picking songs here. You are choosing the moments that hit hardest, linger longest, and make you want to run them back immediately just to catch the details you missed the first time.

The Top Ten

  1. Xtal

    Easily, it makes you want to put the song on repeat all day long, and it'll never become tedious or repetitive.

    The first Aphex Twin song I heard, and still the best!

  2. Alberto Balsalm

    Wow, I'm really surprised how low this song is on this list. Although it isn't common nomenclature to describe an Aphex Twin song as being "catchy," this song is pure earworming, captivating bliss.

    It's a nice, relaxing song and also a very catchy one too. Something that Aphex Twin is great at doing, blending the two.

    First song I heard from Aphex Twin that kept me listening.

  3. #3

    I think 'Rhubarb' is their most beautiful track. Interesting list though.

    It's so unforgivably simple, yet hauntingly beautiful.

  4. Come to Daddy

    This one is experimental.

  5. 4

  6. Avril 14th

    Such a wonderful, easy-flowing melody. Probably the number one alternative genre composition ever.

  7. Blue Calx

    Amazing! This is one of the most addicting Aphex Twin songs. Better than Green Calx and Yellow Calx.

  8. Flim

    Their most beautiful song.

  9. Cliffs

  10. Tha

    A stunningly beautiful masterpiece. This is my go-to track when I do my homework. It's hard for any of his work to compete with it. I find myself sometimes skipping Xtal when I listen to SAW 85-92.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Beskhu3epnm

    Taking Control

    13. The Contenders

  13. Windowlicker

    I can't believe this song is not on here. Pure heaven in musical form.

  14. Heliosphan

    This song is nearly perfect. There is nothing that could possibly make it better. I play it like four times a week, and it never loses its magic.

  15. IZ-US

    Better than Xtal, in my opinion.

  16. Ageispolis

  17. Fingerbib

    Fingerbib is a track I'll listen to gain a serene feeling of carefreeness. Such a warm and lovable track, one that can take me away from the harsher outside world and just ease me back in its gorgeous synths and melodies.

    This song showcases Richard's immense talent in melody. Stripping away the crazy and intense beats, this song is absolutely beautiful and one of Richard's most subtle songs.

    As this technically is the real "Fingerbib," it should be voted up instead of that crappy acoustic cover.

  18. Girl/Boy Song

  19. Pulsewidth

  20. We are the Music Makers

  21. Stone In Focus

    I... I just can't describe the beauty of this song. It's the most beautiful stuff I've ever heard. I actually like the fact it's 10 minutes long. I never get tired of it. When it finishes and I'm in a subconscious state, I just put it back on repeat.

  22. Xmas_evet10 (Thanaton3 Mix)

  23. #17

  24. #20

    One of the most beautiful songs I've heard in my life.

  25. Yellow Calx

  26. Hedphelym

  27. Ptolemy
