You know, after listening to it for a few weeks, I'm beginning to feel that SAW85-92 is Aphex Twins best album... sure, a couple of the tracks towards the end aren't that great, but tracks 1 to 9 are downright amazing... and Delphium is another good one... I love this album!!!

plus, I find I can listen to it any time... I find it very relaxing, moreso then SAWII, but I find most of SAWII to be pretty boring... whereas this is just great!!!

I've said it before and i'll say it again, his best album IMO is the mighty Come To Daddy. But if you won't count it as an album, i'll say SAWII.

yeah, I love ICBYD... I really do... but SAWI is just really special imo... everything about it... I even find the static in Tha kind of adds to the synth effect... I dunno, I just think it's great... ICBYD would move to number 2 in my list now I guess...

I just haven't been able to fully get into SAWII... some of the stuff is brilliant no doubt, but other stuff just seems boring to me, and monotonous... over the summer I'll have to give it some work...

Heliosphan was my first real Aphex Twin song I loved, and I first heard it about a year ago... and now it's still one of my favorite songs of his... along with the whole album...

i like saw85-92, but it's hard for me to get into. it just seems kind of poppy to me, i don't know. except i do like green calx alot. i don't want to say rdj album is my favorite because it's makes me feel like a poser, but i think it is. girl/boy song makes me want to cry.

drukqs has more excellent tracks than on any of his other albums, but the good/not so good track ratio isnt that good, if you know what i mean. but id still go with drukqs for the best aphex album.

I was actually crying with Schottkey, when I broke up with an ex... but I was a smallie...
For me SAW85-92 has all the feelings. Its an album with a great psychic power

saw 85-92 sounds like his less mature album to my ears. some tracks actually sound like he was 14 when he wrote them. but it's the only aphex album that some of my friends, who arent electronica/idm listeners at all, dont mind listening to. that's why i think it's his best album for the uninitiated.

for me SAW85-92 is enough minimalistic to be named mature; it is creating absolutely fabulus atmospheres in my mind and in general is one of the dreamest rich albums... dunno... it was the very first rich album i got...

I got started on SAW 85-92 and I still think it is awsome... but when I got a few more of his CDs I started to like it all... but Id still have to say that SAW 85-92 is his best work... because he started it in my birthyear... lol...

too me icbyd sounds like a collection of songs, and rdj album, saw I and II, come to daddy, and even drukqs sound like a album instead of a collection of songs.

SAW85-92 is a killer, one of my all time favourite albums, and probably THE album that got me hooked on aphex and thereby the entire electronica/idm genre.
still, as rich's best album, i'll have to say RDJ Album. my only complaint about it, is that it's way too short.
ICBYD is also amazing, sort of like an orchestral trip-hop'ish thing in my mind...still soothing and brilliant.

agree with d-hex; when you look on the backside of ICBYD, you notice that the tracks span over several years...not as cohesive maybe as his other albums, but still marvellous.

I've never really thought about what I think is Richard's best album, I think they are all excellent and I know that if I selected an album I thought would be best I'd probably change that all the time. Listening times and moods would change my ideas. Having said that though I'd probably say ICBYD with SAW85-92 in a close second.
And BTW, since this is a mile-stone post for me I'd just like to say a few words :)
Thank you all for interacting with this site and coming together to create the only messageboard I've ever really stuck with. Thanks to PhobiaZero and TuneMX for creating it all, the moderators for moderating it all :) And most of all Richard, for making music that I think is the best. Thank you all!! =D
