I haven't noticed a topic about this album before.... I haven't got this one... When I look at the sleeve I get the strange feeling that it isn't a real aphex twin album for some reason...
But ehm, what do you think of this one? Should I go out and buy it?

i don't dig it personally...toooo much x0x drum machine.
anyways...i'd at least give it a few listens...good rythms, even thought they are 606, 808, and 909.

actually, if you want to get blown away from a harsher cd that you'll never discard from your cd player (if you like slightly harsher stuff), get "making orange things" by venetian snares/speed ranch, off of planet mu.
i can't stop praising this cd...easly one of the best i have listened to ever.

I'm listening to it as we speak. Not bad I'd say. A lot os nice old AFX techniques. Indeed there is a lot of X0X but the way he uses them is sublime. definately worth getting.

Its definitly a important release for x0x series equipment IMO.
Play a CD like this to remind me how great they were/are.
If your a RDJ fan, get this CD.

I think it's one of his best...some great dark Acid/Ambient moments in there...
& all the tracks work so well together...it was really his first album (as SAWI was really a collection of older tracks)...
I'm trying to think of somethng bad about it but i really can't...

I just bought the re-release so as to get the new tracks ( I have the vinyl from the first time round :o) ) they are not bad either. Not very strong but like jand says they all fit together well.

you can see why those 2 tracks were left off originally...they're not as good as the others...more GAK like that anything (different sort of vibe...)
I guess it was a mini-money spinner for WARP tho...I know I bought another copy just to get em...kinda kinky behavior but it's 2 new old AFX tracks so you can't complain really...

what do you mean by "anonymus afx"??
i dunno if it´d be worth it only for the speech - i got it and it´s funny, but no must-have imo, really ...

doki: Quernstone was referring to Alcolics Anonymous for people addcited to alcohol...do you have that in Germany?...
Quern: this place is a good as any as a home for AFX Anon...I'm in the same boat...
and I love that "If it really is me" track...it's so simple but sooo beautiful & hypnotic...

how old is that CD? it has always been a special order for me, but costs way too much to import, if it is still even available.

Yeah, RDJ has re-used stuff on several releases. I think this track is a pre-cursor the sawII stuff.

of the two new tracks on SOSW I think Portreach Harbour is great, but the other one isn't quite as good... SOSW is good, but not great in my opinion... I like it better then SAWII, but I would probably say it's his second worst release... I just can't get into SAWII at all...

I personally like the album a ton. Audax Power is a really nice track, if you want to here one before purchasing it. I'd grab this one if I were you, I mean c'mon it's RDJ.
