....and only ONCE.
I am not a big fan of either of the Selected Ambient Works. Neither 85-92, or II. I've been waiting to say it for a while now, but wasn't sure if I was ready for the ... whats the word ... hate I will probly receive for not liking these. If I did have to choose one of the two, I would take 85-92. Ther, I said it!

SAW85-92 is a masterpiece imo... I can't say anything to you for not liking it, cause different people like different things... SAWII doesn't do much for me with the exception of a couple songs...

I prefer the laster works of aphex but saw1 and 2 are both good. they just take a while to get used to. although I just got saw1 i think its much easier to like than 2. 2 is more acquired taste shall I say in that you need more patience to get to know the cd and puts off many people because its strictly ambient without much drums in it which makes saw1 a little easier for most to listen to because it has drums and less lengthy. but after you listen to saw2 for a while its great. I like drukqs the most though, its very cohesive unlike many say\said at first judgement.

lol...well, hate def. isnt the right word. sometimes, tho, on here ther are people that get bashed pretty good for disliking something. i couldn't see most people on here sayin anything to bad.
others, on the other hand *cough*R*Cough*F*cough*L*cough*X*cough* dunno if you'll get that.

It's cool though, right now if I had to pick two favorite Aphex Twin releases I'd pick SAW85-92 and Drukqs... quite the contrast there, but it just shows how much RDJ has changed since he started...

aphex is almost never the topic I think because its a given that everyone likes his stuff here because they came to this site in the first place, so they talk about other people like other warp artists and lesser known people instead.

and thank god they do! my mp3 collection would still be around 200 mp3s, instead of 2000 if it wasnt for this place.
which also means my cd collection would still only include maybe 30 cds.

im goin to north carolina soon and im gonna take a bunch for the long trip. but i dont ever wanna take all or even close to all of my cds because if they were stolen i dont know whatd id do. i have about 100 burned cds i didnt count in 250 cds making it 350 with burned cds. i never listen to most of them. theyres a lot of mix cds and rare stuff or out of print which are hard to find or cds that aren't really worth owning and i never listen to anyways. I need authenticity in cds i like for some reason. i just cant listen to like smashing pumpkins,aphex,modest mouse if theyre not authentic for some reason which can be a problem sometimes.

well, ther are a select few albums/artists i only buy the real thing from..but saying ONLY doesn't count. what has been happening a lot lately is i burn an album (since i left you, by the avalanches last week) and i like it so much, i need the authentic, real thing with the insert and al that.
aphex twin, the chemical brothers, fatboy slim, leftfield, and console are a few that i've bought lately, after hearing my burned copy.
