I personally think the Analogue Bubblebath releases are
very much underrated.
How about you?

AB ia old, and the most ppls who know afx just know the new
releases... thats the prob, the afx-hip cames to late,
sadly.

I don't mean underrated by the outside world but by us IDM
fans.

altho it's not my favourite, I think classics is still very
underrated

You mean AB4 is good? That is a crap EP, except Cuckoo that
song is cool.

Underrated as far as Aphex goes is SOSW, there are some
beauties on that album

I really like AB4, very powerfull. Not by far his best work
but really nice tho imo.
But you're right about SOSW, that one's quite underrated, I
also opened a thread about that.

i think the ventolin mixes are underrated

Points: 4891 Status: Lurker



YES YES YES both of you are right, SOSW is great (especially
Quino Phec) and Some of the Reimexs of Ventolin are amazing
(for example Cylob Remix and Deep Gong mix Aphex did with
Luke Vibert)

AB3 is my favorite out of them and i dont think many people
talk about it that much. Polynomial-c on classics is one of
the best songs ever i think

is the 'On' double ep underrated? i think its one of the
best things he's ever done :)

whereas Gak can never be underrated. That is pure looped
shite. But I'll probably buy it when it comes on ebay again.

I actually don't see SAW 2 get too many accolades. But
Classics is probably his most underrated LP.

'On' Single.

My fav release from him, but very underrated.

Speaking of Hangable Auto Bulb...... I saw a post on this MB
that HAB will be reprinted soon... is this true?

if yes, i'll believe there is a god after all!

Honestly, I really dig those Powerpill/Pacman tracks he did.
They're not his best work, but they're quite catchy.

I think Drukqs is underrated by people. It has possibly the
best juxtaposition of styles on it. but thats just my
opinion:)

GAK 2 is amazing. AB3 is probably the most underrated
release. SOSW is one of his best releases but I think it
gained better recognision than AB3.

the cylob remix is the best track on the whole ventolin ep -
it's fuckin amazing - anyone who thinks cylob is rubbish
should lliten to that - much better than the original

Does anybody here share my love for the Equation track?
I love playing it on full volyme on my stereo. I wish he
would do more tracks in that style.
IMO its a underated track.

I just remembered I listened to the first track of Classics,
pulled the cd out of the player and frisbee style threw it
across the room.
Guess I was having a bad day, I mean goodness I can even
tolerate the Elephant song.

'equation' is actually a second version of an older song he
did called 'cunt' I believe. I agree though it is a cool
track, and doesn't get much mention... really, Windowlicker
hardly gets much mention at all.

I think the Quoth single and AB 5. I hear everyone say they
HATE AB5. I think it's the best one of the AB series.
Every track on there kicks major arse. I just need to get
my dirty paws on one...

You threw classics across the room. Because of Digeridoo?
For shame.
And conformist, you're right, the powerpill tracks are
really underrated. I especially like the Ghost mix.

powerpill is very underrated, all the tracks are wicked on
that!
and the most underrated is SAW2, even though people will
say otherwise,no one hardly mentions this classic.

The On Single and SOSW are more underrated than SAW II.
I've seen quite a few topics on SAW II.

I'd say Powerpill and AB 1 are very underrated. Along with
the Bradley Strider records...

DRUKqqqqqqqqSSSSSSSS!!! NOW that a fucking underrated
album!! Its like one of the best albums ever and yall
frontin on it like its average :(

CLASSICs is a piss album (one amazing track tho, Polynomial
C is DOPE!!!), I mean come on we talking about RDJ even if
its old its shit for his standard.

SAW 85-92 is older but so much better.

you're right about classics and its one good, no classic,

You're missing out on some classic songs. Buy it, download
it. Just find a way to hear it.
