The result was Drill’n’bass, a spastic form of breakbeat jungle that relied on powerful audio software and patient programming to warp old midtempo beats and breaks into a frenzied, experimental potpourri of low-attention-span electronic music. Beginning in mid-1995, three figures led the charge with pioneering EPs: Aphex Twin (Hangable Auto Bulb), Luke Vibert’s Plug project (Plug 1), and Squarepusher (Conumber). The following year, drill’n’bass went overground with full-length releases by each of the above, most notably Plug’s Drum’n’bass for Papa and Squarepusher’s debut album Feed Me Weird Things. Soon the rush was on, and a group of artists emerged with immediately identifiable ties to drill’n’bass, including Animals on Wheels, Amon Tobin, Mung, and Plasmalamp. Drill’n’bass receded into the deep underground by 1998, an unsurprising event given the style’s extreme nature.

Overall Meaning

Firstly, it is important to note that Aphex Twin is known for his experimental electronic music that often includes unconventional sounds and structures. With that in mind, the lyrics of "4" may seem simple at first glance, but they actually hold deeper meanings. The repetition of "Richard. Yep?" could be interpreted as a dialogue between two individuals, Richard being one of them. The repetition could indicate that the two are stuck in a loop of sorts, unable to move past a certain point in their conversation or relationship.


Alternatively, the repetition could also symbolize the monotonous routine of daily life, where individuals are constantly asked the same questions and go through the same motions. This idea is supported by the music video for "4," which features a person going through the same routine over and over again. Overall, the lyrics of "4" highlight the mundane and the repetitive nature of life.
