I don't hear a lot about this release. I just downloaded it
recently, both parts, and so far I've grown on it much more
quickly (instantly, for the most part) than any other RDJ
release. It feels much different from his other works,
more...rich somehow, I want to say. Definitely much more
consistent than pretty much anything else, except perhaps
RDJ album, which I thought was good but not his best.

I love HAB 1&2. Theres just nothing much to say about them,
except that they both kick a lot of ass...

:) true, true. they speak for themselves.

in topics regarding "Best Aphex Release EVER" I always see a
lot of Richard D. James Album and i care because
you do.
I normally side with the ICBYD crowd, but now
I'm starting to really love HAB in all its shortness.

HAB is somewhere in top 5 RDJ releases...

It's definitely got a unique feel, and unique production.
It's great, and Everyday and Arched Maid are two of his most
emotional tracks, I think. All of them are great, except
Children Talking. That just gets on my nerves... :-/

I think they should do a rerelease of HAB on cd. That would
be nice. HAB 1&2 on one cd...I'm gettin tired of the mp3's,
the damn records cost $150+. Damn limited releases...

Yes, definitely! It makes no damn sense to me... I think RDJ
doesn't want them re-released, and Warp can't do it without
his blessing... Richard, you wanker.

Even if they don't ever re-release them they should at least
make 1000 more copies of each...

I love those releases. They should re-release them. Mybe
they could make some changes for the 2ed, so that the
originals still have high value?

where can i get any format of these lads?

i first heard tracks from them in a mix by DJ Aura over at
warprecords.com...mixed in with squarepusher. i only found
out they were from HAB after a year of loving this
mix...mad!!!...."mash p o t a t o e s"

$150?
I paid under EUR40 a couple of weeks ago.
It's great.
I'd listened to the mp3's for ages but the real thing just
sounds SO much better. I dunno why, feels deeper or
something. Pity it's pressed at 33rpm though, because when
you play it at 45rpm it's just toooo fast.
Squarepusher's untitled is pressed at 45rpm and listening to
it at 33 is really cool cos you can hear all the intricate
details of his tracks.

they kick ass, some of RDJ's most solid works imo... Arched
Maid via RDJ is one of my top 5 aphex tracks fo sho

wow! many of you seem to like "Arched Maid Via RDJ" which is
my least favourite on this album. conversely, I like
"Children Talking" probably the best, with "Custodian
Discount" up there as well. I also find "Wabby Legs" to be
the most emotional of this release.

I tend to differ in musical opinions with many on this
message board, which is a bit odd since we listen to the
generally the same artists and releases.

What about Laughable Butane Bob?!?

Arched Maid Via RDJ is my favorite from number two, and
hangable auto bulb is my favorite from part one.
I love every single track, though.

Points: 865 Status: Lurker



I like it but there's that "rushed" feel that was there in
RDJ. yes, I realise that it's drill'n'bass, so it's fast,
but it feels like it's running as fast as it can.

I think the best drill'n'b is the stuff that's fast but
sorta lilts along too, with a couple layers of pace going
on. "freeman, hardy, & willis acid" for example. "custodian
discount" too. oh "start as you mean to go on" is a really
good example, though it's just fast beatbox programming, not
really drill and bass.

yeah, I love start as you mean to go on, and I think that
and the d-scape might have been some of the earliest
initiators of the drill and bass styles we see more of today

d-scape? is that the term for this layering I described?

odd, I think the US version is bastardised, because my copy
has the original "on", "73yips", "xepha" and the reload mix
of "on"
