Okay I know this has been done but in various different mutation, best Aphex Song (that one drives me bonkers), this album Vs that album..but never so expliciltly..I think..or atleast not in a while..
What is the single best RDJ release?One get one chance, and it can be any release, single album, EP under ant incarnation, Aphex, AFX, one of the two Windows..etc...
We could tally em all up and see what's the favourite all time RDJ etc...you can give a breif explanantion for your vote as well..
to get the ball rolling.. after a lot of humming and harring, pondering considering etcs, I vote for
DRUKQS
simply for the sheer number of good songs in one 3 1/2 square inch vicinity and the diversity of styles..a tour de force of all that's come before with amaaazing production quality...
there you have it out with yours...

SAW 85-92 his first, yes. but his most consistent and best as well. as someone on here has said, the sounds are dated, but the music isn't.

hard one, especially because I'm no fan of mr.James - but I have my fair share of albums.
I think I would join you in drukqs..

My vote goes for the "Richard D. James Album", version that comes with the Girl/Boy EP. Personally I think it has some of his best melodic songs, such as "Girl/Boy Song" itself. I love the contrast of the drums on top being distorted, falling apart, while underneath there's this inner-beauty dying to be revealed, but keeps getting pummeled away by the drums.

Actually, odd as it may seem I would actually go for...erm...hmm...hard choice...I guess...I don't have a clue. I suppose, Drukqs, if only because it is also the worst thing he has ever released.

Cool topic... I like this stats stuff. I remember somebody here made this poll where everyone gave EVERY song on EVERY album a ranking, and then they actually made like a top 50 Aphex Twin songs... it was crazy, and it turned out well and just as I'd expect it to.
With that said...
Chalk up another vote for Drukqs. I don't know if I'm surprised that's it's winning or not... I don't WHAT to think with that fucking album.

I love the piano bits on DrukQs and the fast crazy shit like Vordhosbn but there are lots of songs on there that don't do much for me.

(alls I'm saying is his minor releases, AB & joyrex contain more great tracks between them than any of his LP's...)

I agree..theres great tracks on little release..I love all the ABs..but on Drukqs all of the great styles are all in close proximity..saves a lazy bastard like me from flipping on and off all of those eps..heh...I think that's a legitimate reason:)

I bet the vote tally would depend on what time the tally was made, since the majority will always vote for the newest release probably.
