Aphex Twin's Xtal, but done with human voice

I love electronica (lol) but my heart will always be with hardcore.

Through some peculiarity of its algorithm, Spotify presents Xtal to me every couple of days, which has left me feeling more familiar with it than the tracks I used to listen to on repeat years ago. So listening to this is like, on the one hand, oh no not again, and on the other is this a joke, and on the other well this is very faithful to the original, and on the other okay I have to admit liking this, and on the other now I would like to hear this person do Digeridoo or Ventolin.

I was wondering if it was the same guy who did this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q13NRoG6mvs but apparently not.

This is really well done, thanks for sharing.
