Just got into Aphex Twin recently, and I\'m just blown away by this guy. I was just wondering what his fans recommend song-wise, what his best tracks are. I\'ve read up on the albums, so I know what to get, but I\'d like to know what your favprite tracks are. Thanx! |

Thanks alot! I'm gonna hunt these songs down on Kazaa or something, but I definitely intend to buy the actual albums. They're just hard to get where I live. |

and where do you live? i mean... buy the blasted cds so you can experience the whole album rather than just going by what other people consider the "best". there really isn't any "best", it's just what you consider to have an influence on you |

for me three albums: 'Selected Ambient Works 85-92', 'RDJ album' and 'I care because you do'. But it's true, you can't really go wrong with anything. Although 'Classics' does contain a few tracks which are..."difficult". |

I live in Eastern Canada, and the record stores don't have Aphex Twin, I'm going into college, and I can't afford to order hundreds of dollars worth of CDs. Believe me, I'd get the albums if I could, but it's not an opton right now. I'm taking the easy way out with the internet. Thanks for the suggestions, BTW. |

I have no idea if they got a Best Buy in Canada, but if so.. I've seen a few releases by Aphex Twin there. Around here I've seen Come to Daddy, I Care Because You Do, Richard D. James, Selected Ambient Work Vol. II, and Analogue Bubblebath 3 albums. If you can only afford a couple start out with the Richard D. James album and Selected Ambient Works Vol. II. Both of these will give you a good feel for the opposing ends of the Aphex spectrum. All his other releases just fall inbetween somewhere. Come to Daddy is more abrassive but melodic in some parts and Analogue BB 3 is just plain old skool. Also, you mentioned you have Kazaa; search for all the Aphex Twin music videos you can (if you've got the bandwidth), before they take that shit down too . I've found the Come to Daddy, Donkey Rhubarb, On, and Windowlicker videos all on there. Good luck man. |

I even found the Ventolin video on there once too! (Video CD version) Good program (for videos)... Sorry to sound retarded (this must have been discussed hundreds of times here), but has anyone got good suggestions on the best current audio file sharing software? I found WinMX (I constantly get qued) and Aimster (usually can't find what I'm looking for there) a bit disappointing. Which one will REALLY fill the gap Napster left behind? |

Wow, Aphex Twinners are pretty helpful. Thanks. I've got quite a few songs from KaZaa (feels guilty, but fuck it), and so far Cornish Acid, Come to Daddy, GirlBoy, Next Heap With, Alberto Balsalm, Film (Flim?) and Windowlicker are the best I've heard. |

The Richard D. James Album and the COme to Daddy cds are my favorite from Rich. You really should hear those cds. They are so great. They both really give you a taste of what the Twin can do. |

The best ones to pick up first are I Care Because You Do, Richard D James Album, Drukqs and Selected Ambient Works 2. That seems a good introduction to the kinds of sound he has. :) |

The grey gentleman has the right idea... given all the P2p filesharing going on, you have no excuse to get the complete AFX collection... I've enjoyed 99.999% of aphexs work at some point or other...and if you ever get the chance, try to listen to his pieces in chronological order, it's great to hear his development over time.. |

well I won't suggest separate songs, but I suggest getting the RDJ album, and I Care Because You Do first... those albums really represent his work well I think... I like ICBYD best out of his albums, but you can't really go wrong with any of them... they all have something to offer... |

Definitely 4 Arched Maid Via RDJ Cliffs Green Calx That would probably be a good introduction into aphex twin And elephant song is just plain ANNOYING don't bother with it unless you like screeching noises. If you like more hardcore stuff check out the caustic window stuff by him. Humanoid Must Not Escape and the Garden of Linmiri are great harsh songs. |
