Aphex Twin “Flim” covers

by Mark Jackson on December 1st, 2009

While browsing around for some Aphex Twin covers, I came across some really great interpretations of "Flim", one of his most simple and satisfying tunes.

The first one is courtesy of The Bad Plus, a jazz trio which takes a pretty literal approach to the song, improvising mostly in the drums:

The second is a smooth, guitar cover:

And again:

And saving the best for last:

If you're new to Aphex Twin, this is not a typical tune by any means. Most of his stuff is really complex and often extremely hard to listen to; this is like "chill-out" Aphex. So if you don't want your mind blown out but still want to hear more, I recommend Selected Ambient Works '85-'92, most of which is like "Flim". Enjoy!
