XtalAphex Twin

Aphex Twin is the stage name used by British musician Richard D.

James.

While many people might associate him with intense tracks like drum’n’bass, in the early 1990s he was producing ambient techno.

The track I’m introducing here, “Xtal,” was released in 1992 and is notable for its airy, floating sound.

If you want to delve deeper into Aphex Twin’s ambient world, be sure to check out the album Selected Ambient Works 85–92, which includes this track, as well as 1994’s Selected Ambient Works Volume II.

Beyoncé is a singer who gained worldwide popularity with her powerful vocals, and she’s extremely popular in Japan as well.

Her song “XO,” released in 2013, was a hit in the United States.

While it’s a song about mutual love, Beyoncé has said she created it for those who have lost a loved one, and reading the lyrics, that interpretation certainly makes sense.

Musically, it’s power pop with heavy use of synthesizers.
