I've been listening to this little gem a lot the last while... it's amazing... such a relaxing and beautiful cd... it sounds pretty simple, but there is so much emotion and beauty there... I still don't think RDJ has made a better song then Tha... from what I've heard... I dunno, there's just something special about this... it's almost like I feel special to listen to it, like it's an important album, and special one... I dunno, I think it's one of his best!! it just goes to show how diverse, and good at the different styles RDJ is that I would put SAW85-92 and Drukqs in my top 3 Aphex Twin releases... they are totally different, but equally good for different reasons... |

in Tha at around 6:40 where the synth slowly fades in I almost cry every time... it's so gorgeous, and sad... |

I feel the same way with the song "Rhubarb" |

It's bass line is the melody. The song is bassed off that. Most songs he has done like that end up hard core, Im glad to hear some thing planned out like that come out emotional and beautiful. Most of SAW 85-92 fit those characteristics though. The only thing that still puzzles me is waht year each track was made. I want to know which were made in what years. I can tell that Green Calx is obviously the newest on there, but I'd like to know the oldest. And I would love to hear RDJ's first song! I wouldn't be surprised if it sounded much like SAW 85-92 |

Delphium has the sweetest beat ever. All the congas through the song loaded with echo. Ptolemy's beat is classic. 80's drums! Fuck yeah! I can recreate that rhythm perfectly with a TR-808 and TR-707. But, I'm sure thats what RDJ used, himself. |

this was the first aphex twin album I wanted... way back in April of 2001 I went to the store to get it (not knowing it was an import at the time) and got InSides by Orbital (my first electronica album) because SAW95-92 wasn't there... it wasn't until November or so that I finally ordered it in, and I didn't get it till last march... it took me forever to get it, but I did!! hope you enjoyed my story!! :) |

the 2 albums you mentioned funkmaster (insides and 85-92) have to be two of my fave albums ever, and insides was my first electronica experience too, windowlicker was my first aphex, when it was released and was being played on MTV2 (when it was good) ahhh memories, in the corners of my mind............. |

I remember when i started to listen to aphex and downloaded some songs with my old crappy 28 modem. I downloaded some songs from the "saw" and i still think they arent that good. some tracks, but the hole thing is just dated and old. there are some enjoyeble tunes there that i like, but overall, not that great! |
