underappreciated, overlooked and underrated afx

one of the most overlooked/underrated afx tracks is "Logon
Rock Witch" its melody was the first that got me to
appreciate James' melodic touch.. and serves as a turning
point in his career .. so far from SAW8592.. and a precursur
to the acoustic work that makes up half the Drukqs album...

"Ventolin (Coppice Mix)" and "Ventolin (Asthma Beats Mix)" I
don't understand how these (and the 3 mixes of "Come to
Daddy") are remixes of each other.. but they are great.. and
almost never mentioned

abb3 is the best!

if you didnt like it... I think you should give it another
try

but see this is just a matter of taste

I have to be a lot more cautious when paying for the
relatively rare afx stuff. save for the '2 remixes by afx'
most things (for which I end up paying more money because
they're either rare or an import or both) sound really dated
and are quite simply not immediately appealing to me as most
of his work from 96 on is (not counting the SAW series and,
of course, most of "ICBYD")

so far the criteria for a high-quality rdj release for me is
either two or all of the following 1) that it's credited to
"Aphex Twin"* and 2) that it's a post-1995 release** 3) that
it's an LP***

* this does not apply to 2 Remixes by AFX

** this does not apply to SAW8592/SAW2

*** this does not apply to Come to Daddy, Windowlicker and 2
Remixes by AFX

I agree with cow cud is a twin.. I was surprised/impressed
with his underground hiphop sampling technique there..
there's one sample on that that's so nice.. I'm not into the
drums though

I hate come on you slags though.. really do not like that
one

I used to hate "come on you slags" and skip it all the time.
I've gotten into it more now and would even say I like it (a
bit).

logon rock witch is a masterpiece,
so are xtal and shottkey 7th path.
If people don't mention it it doesn't mean the song is
underrated, it means it's either too old to keep mentioning
or they don't know what makes good music.

will never make sense to anyone including me.
