Get ICBYD, it's more diverse and coverse a much wider range of styles than the RDJ Album, but they're both good

ICBYD is a great album, RDJ is a good album... plus, it's always best to go chronological

You won't be disappointed with either, but I'd say RDJ album is a bit more manic than ICBYD. I got RDJ first, then ICBYD...I'm sure you won't be scarred for life if you get RDJ first.

I like ICBYD better, but I'd go with RDJ first. That's how I did it and reckon it was a good route.

yeah, go with the flow, spoonz: RDJ album. it's probably my all time favourite aphex album besides saw85-92. fast, furious and deliciously manic.

it depends on whether you want something manic or a little mellower.

I would say RDJ first, but only because ICBYD is so good. I think it's important to experience ICBYD during a very positive point in your life, and I think you'll know when the time is right.
ICBYD is one of those "desert island" albums, for me anyway...satisfying the whole way through (though "come on you slags" sucks)

RDJ album is near perfection... ICBYD seems to please those who like mellower stuff (they tend to hate Ventolin anyway), but is still fucking good.... and so is SAW 1 and SAW 2 and Surfing on Sine Waves... its all damn good, and essential! you will need all of them in the next few months.........

it's all in my opinion; no offence was intended. i've heard plenty of aphex, and I personally think quite a bit of it "sucks," though the good aphex is quite good.

SAW2 changed my life forever though. acquire it, and enjoy it particularly whenever you have free time to experiment with sleep patterns.

Yeah, just rob someone for the cash, or sell your body.
ICBYD was my first aphex, and its still my favorite..

ICBYD might be better value for money quantity wise...plus it complies a lot of the early stuff..though RDJ if it is the version with Boy/Girl EP tacked on at the end...that's a very good deal...

ICBYD always seems to stay around my top Aphex Twin albums... It was my second Aphex purchase, but I wanted it as my first... Although the RDJ album is great, ICBYD is just on another level... definately get ICBYD!!!

i tend to prefer the rdj album to icbyd... the latter just has to many tracks that get boring after a while
at least the rdj album's lesser tracks are pretty short

First off I will point out the fact that besides me having MTV's AMP that got me into aphex because of the boy/girl song being from the RDJ album ICBYD was my first straight up RDJ anything, probably still my favorite today next to drukqs and saw 85-92, and maybe afx ab3. that doesn't mean i don't like windowlicker, ctd, RDJ or saw v2. I like them both, everything has a time and a place. That doesn't mean I'm not crazy it just means that i'm too lazy to be anything but chill. I'm still crazy, i just hold it inside and let it fester into uncontrolable fits of insanity all the time. It's gotten to the point now where I can't even tell the difference anymore like I do crazy shit without even thinking.. or wait, maybe it's becuase I am crazy? not even drugs can help me!

Shit, tough one. I think the RDJ Album is slightly better... SLIGHTLY... but I Care Because You Do is so perfect... I don't know. I can't fucking decide. They're equal. Forget what I said above, I'm just tired.
