Windowlicker. |

hmmm. i just might have to agree with you, as far as his more catchy, poppy material goes. |
||||||||
|

I think that Arched maid via RDJ holds the title |

"4" and "Girl/Boy Song" are almost as strong. Just as focused, less polished. "Windowlicker" sounds cleaner. "Nannou" is really up there too. But I really think, for many reasons, (not just it being catchy/poppy, which it legitimately is - he had just made his money off of "Come To Daddy" etc. so his spirits were prolly up). Tracks off of the SAW2 collection can't really compare to the aforementioned tracks, because they lack the variation, texture and drive of his more ambitious work. "[Rhubarb]" deserves much honorable mention as well. I'd say Top 10 Aphex Twin songs are as follows: 1. Windowlicker 2. 4 3. Girl/Boy Song 4. Nannou 5. [Rhubarb] 6. Bucephalus Bouncing Ball 7. Film/Alberto Balsalm 8. Acrid Avrid Jam Shred 9. Pancake Lizard 10. Mt. Saint Michel+Saint Michaels Mount |

Really tough call. Depends on if "best" is to mean favorite, or if it's the track that's technically his best. Because he has tracks that are great, but aren't my favorites. For instance, girl/boy song is fantastic, but it's not my favorite. My favorite, at the moment, is probably Acrid Avid Jam Shred. :) |

...maybe "Fingerbib" should be somewhere around 6 or 7. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Don't forget arched maid via RDj, it's definitely one of his best |

who could forget ;) |

I'm going for his best technically. Although, I concede I am a bit biased, as that is one of my absolute favorite tracks by Aphex Twin, and the very first Aphex Twin track I had really listened to. (Save for hearing "Girl/Boy Song" on MTV Amp compilation, and the popular "Come To Daddy" video.) I wanted to get into Aphex, and I found "Windowlicker" for $6.99, thinking it was mislabeled, not knowing it was an EP. I think a lot of the electronic tracks on "Drukqs" are as complex and textured as "Windowlicker" but just aren't as good/focused etc. For example "Ziggomatic 17" would be great, if it wasn't riddled with self-indulgent tangents every here and there. "Vorshbodn" could have been a little tighter/stronger as well. |

Listen to Vordhosbn and Cockverlo and tell me those dont represent his talent best. Those two songs are easily his greatest with Mt Saint Micheal in third place. As for his most important songs I think Flim comes in first, followed by Windowlicker and Boy/Girl song. IMHO |

QUOTH (WOODENTHUMP MIX) = #01 BEST AFX SONG EVER |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd have to say best (as in favourites) are 1. Girl/Boy Song 2. Mt. Saint Michel+Saint Michaels Mount 3. Windowlicker these songs make me smile!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
those do serve as good exhibitions of his talent as of late, but I don't think they were executed quite as well as the others I mentioned. why "Film" as his most important though? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i strongly disagree. imo, 'acrid avid jamshred' and 'Vordhosbn' are far superior. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Flim was extremely innovative and original at the time of its release. |

Flim still sounds amazing and pretty damn comtemporary. Nobody's putting out better tracks than that. |

"Flim" is one of my favorites. Right along with "Icct Hedral", "Xtal", and "Fingerbib". |

I really like Alberto Balsalm and Everyday. |

Start as you Mean to Go On Milkman Windowlicker Pulsewidth Mt. Saint Michel Mix+St. Michaels Mount On (Mu-Ziq Remix) When I first heard Milkman, I just couldn't get it out of my head... it was banging there for at least two weeks. None of my friends wanted to see me because of my constant yackering about "I would liiikee some miiilk from the miiilkmaaan's wise tittts..." |
||||||||

I noticed that yudfdfg was not mentioned once. Very underrated track I suppose. |
