YouTube playlist of videos Aphex linked in his SoundCloud description? (Not the dump)

I’m looking for a YouTube playlist I found a while back that collected all the YouTube videos Aphex had linked on his SoundCloud description. One of them was this track: https://youtu.be/XPAw_fzsnkk?si=z0_gmwq9tngeFjgm (The Black Dog Age Of Slack) and another was this Sam Hyde video: https://youtu.be/tE_5Y9IKCk0?si=UVPxSNWhO9Ctb0VJ . Any help is appreciated thanks

How does someone like RDJ make a substantial amount of money?

It seems to be generally agreed upon that he's rich, but it seems so unlikely. He's not a mainstream star and the music is unlistenable to most people. How is it that a guy like RDJ can be minted? Surely someone like Fatboy Slim or the Chemical Brothers must be filthy rich in that case?

He manages to buy a tank in the mid-90s before Come to Daddy comes out, and be spends hundreds of thousands on a GX1? It seems very far fetched.

Like, is it possible that a lot of RDJ's story is fabricated and he came from real wealth? Or at least there are significant financial foundations to his career that have never been reported. Because I don't see how making this kind of music and having most of your ability to hit to a broader audience be down to Chris Cunningham can result in someone making enough money to to called rich. I doubt SAWII or ICBYD brought in a substantial amount of money.

I always would have felt that Aphex would have been living hand to mouth and kind of run out of money at some point.

Syro's marketing campaign was legendary

It's the 16th August 2014. You're walking around while listening to Drukqs for the thousandth time, wanting, needing a new Aphex Twin album. You look up. You find a strange, lime green blimp in the in the bright blue sky. It says "2014" on it. You think nothing of it and keep walking to McDonald's, your destination.

It's been 20 minutes and you walk out of the McDonald's, Drukqs still blasting away in your headphones. You look up at the now slightly darker sky and find that mysterious bilmp still peacefully floating there. Except this time you see a weird logo on it. The logo seems familiar to you, but you can't figure out why. After a few seconds it hits you; it's the Aphex Twin logo.

If the blimp is showing both the Aphex Twin logo and the year "2014" on it it can only mean one thing; a new Aphex Twin album was coming, and it was coming soon. You jump up and down in excitement. You get a few stares from a some unsuspecting Londoners but that doesn't bother you. All that matters is that a new Aphex Twin album will soon grace this earth.

DO YOU REMEMBER US??

In January we posted here our short interaction with Daddy on Soundcloud. 48k views in two days and lots of new fans here (our favourite Reddit page). We have reached few artist that are our idols (Machinedrum, A.G. Cook, Brodinski, Space Afrika, and more), and this is all thanks to you.

On December 6 we will release our second work “A Silent Flower”.

If you want to have a pre-release listen you can find it on Bandcamp, and if you like, pre-save it on Spotify.

Here’s the link: https://linktr.ee/Sofarsobad

Thanks brothers/sisters 🫡❤️

The soundtrack to this reminds me of Avril 14 / Erik Satie who RDJ purportedly enjoys. I hope this link is well received.

I have #19 set as my alarm and I woke up this morning with this in the other room blaring the initial notes (I believe it's a c#), totally broke my brain!
