i have something to tell you.. ...something that may SHOCK and SURPRISE YOU! ..and that thing is as follows: i have never actually "bought" an Aphex Twin CD. all that i have is downloaded and burnt there... i said it.. ..i hope i dont lose any respect from you guys.. please dont ban me! anyways, heres the big question: WHICH APHEX CDs SHOULD I BUY FIRST? ive heard almost all.. so im not asking which is the best.. ..but which releases would be most worth spending money on, for the better sound quality (than mp3), perhaps cover art, or just that "legitamitly owned" feeling......... and other factors like that? for example SAW 1 i think ill just burn.. i dont think im missing as much sound quality there as i am from other works.. |

I have something shocking to say too! I HATE aphex twin! I found this message board looking for Autechre interviews! HAHAH! I still love you guys though... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Why? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
music is music, who cares how you get it. i don't understand why mp3's are so bad but ya, my favorite artists like aphex i will buy there album in respect. half of my aphex twin collection is mp3, because i can't buy it here. if he released an album tomarrow i would def. buy it. but downloading is so much faster than ordering an album. when i want a song then i want it right there aand then. thats the beuty of mp3's. |

factors: There isn't much of a bigger difference on legitamate copies as opposed to mp3s on any particular album. Cover art you can judge for yourself, its in the discography section. As for the legitamtely-owned feeling, personally, I only get that with vinyl, and albums that are timeless, like shaped my musical interest. If you've heard 'em all just get the one that has the most tracks you like. Pretty simple. If you want someone to tell you, I say that no fan should be without a legitamite copy of ICBYD, Come to Daddy, and RDJ Album. |

mp3s r bad, mmmkay? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mp3s arent bad at all. the only artists that deserve to have their CDs bought are independant artists, like The Shizit. I bought all 3 of their cds/demos, I ordered them, because they are independant and deserve to have their shit bought. |

Something that may shock you AMinal and others is that I too have just got mp3s stored on my computer of the Aphex music...but what I'm sure you'll find even more shocking is that I don't really care for the music, its a bit strange for my liking!! Which might lead you to think why do I post here? Well I was introduced to this site last Autumn (Fall) by a good friend (CeriJC) and I just liked the topics of conversations that go on here - quite insightful, I really enjoy this place. Some of you guys are like distant friends and relatives that I've never seen - because I seem to know you so well, and I've really tried to like some of the stuff but, but most of it all sounds too similar (sorry Ceri..) Don't get me wrong I like a couple of the tracks on SAW1 and SAW2 but ..... not for me! *Jedi Chris starts running from the Aphex fans who are brandishing pitch forks and burning torches!!* |

|

I also have (almost) all the Aphex Twin albums, Ep's and Singles on mp3, but im buying them one at a time when i have the oppertunity...I just got he RDJ album...Girl/Boy Ep and Come To Daddy are coming with the mail sometime next week |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I've been meaning to confess as well...I fucking hate Aphex & I only buy his stuff cause it makes me look cool... (some of the above may not be true...can you really trust a guy who wears a AFX tshirt to bed?..).. :).. No need to run, Jedi Chris..We still love ya even if you hate the twin.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to answer your question...get saw2...it's great...and if your into weed, it's even better because you can have little mini quests to figure out the track listings when your stoned. id' try and get the vynal first, failing that, the UK version, failing that the american version...but i strongly sugest the UK version over the US...we're missing tracks... |

I haven't seen much of Ceri on here lately. Is he a student who actually does some work? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks Jand - you are a pal! *stops running, and wipes brow!* I've also listened to BOC as well, and can honestly say that I only liked one or two tracks of that too - maybe I electronic music is not my scene! :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Listen everyone: I've seen Jedi Chris leaving Spillers Records in Cardiff with a poorly concealed copy of Hearsay's debut album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Is he a student who actually does some work?".... Thats a very vicious rumour to be spreading about someone...;).. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah Ceri's a student - he's got three weeks Easter hols, he's left his PC in Ponty! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bad move; will it be there when he gets back I wonder. |

|
|
don't you mean "do not pass go, do not collect $200?" |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
£200 - is more dollars! |

Damn you Jonsey! Well if youre tell everyone that kinda stuff, I suppose that I should tell everyone about those S-Club 7 cds you had me buy for you that day as well! Put them in a brown bag, was it? And just in case you were wondering, the copy of the Hearsay cd is in the post, I mailed it Saturday!! ;) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Jedi Chris: can I have my Jive Bunny records back please? You've had them for months now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've also got your 'Russ Abbots Greatest Party Hits' as well, I'll put them in the same parcel! |

What about my Keith Chegwin party album? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Does anyone remeber those TOTP albums you used to get in Woolworths in the 70s/80s?...they always had some old Crack Hag from Fiesta on the front cover & a free poster of the same inside... The best thing was they were all cover versions and not the orginals...I can recall being real gutted when someone pointed this out to me (I was only 8)...think they were done by KTEL or someone similar... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah dude. I always see them when I'm flicking through the records in charity shops. The women on the covers are way sexy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Chegwins name always comes up when we discuss the morals of abortion in the office... They should send him to Ireland as an example...Can help feeling the laws would soon be loosened up... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Your picture doesn't come from one of those albums does it?...it looks like it might....(although she does look a bit too attractive for them...think they used to get their models by hanging around Kings Cross with a fiver...)... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Easy man. My auntie did a cover shoot for one of those records. Its a source of pride in my family. |
||||||||

oi, i know that but the quote the gent b4 me was trying to make was most likely from the bg monopoly, and the go to jail card reads what i posted... |

Going back to my posting, I don't want anyone to think that I am 'dissing' your taste in music.....it's just not for me! If you notice, I have never posted anything when music is really being discussed here, mostly because I had never heard of 'anything' that you guys were talking about - and some of it I still am not sure of. Good example, I thought Fruity Loops was some kinda breakfast cereal!! I enjoy reading the topics that are music driven....but usually don't have a clue what you guys are on about.. But I just enjoy the chats with people here - its you the people that make this message board an interesting place, and as long as you guys don't mind that, I'll keep coming back! |
||||||||

I sold that one sorry - got £3 in a car boot sale, hope you are not too devastated! |
||||||||

I'm real fearful that your aunt might have provided proto-maturbatory thoughts for my young 8 yr old mind... Will you pls send her my love... |

Is that a photo of you Chris? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

They've even re-issued those albums on CD which is a bit strange. I guess a whole new generation can have access to seedy wank material in the apparently innocent guise of a CD. Clever. |
