I'm tempted to say something like "make it big" by his alias "wham!", but I don't know... I might get banned or something. Why don't you go to cdnow.com, listen to the mp3 samples and decide for yourself?

Green CALX. I recommend Green CALX.
Seriously, though, pick up Selected Ambient Works 85-92. You'll pay a few dollars more than a normal CD since it's only in import pressings (in America) but it's well worth it.

SAW 85-92 isn't that wonderful.
I'd recomend any of the recent LP's (i.e. I care because you do, Richard D James) or the E.P Come To Daddy... Just find a file sharing service, and search aphex twin, and download everything you can find, listen to them, whatever you like the most, pick up that album.

you should listen to everything...
everyone here has his favourite albums, some prefer the early ones (selected ambient works vol.1, analogue bubblebath), some prefer i care because you do and the richard d. james album, some prefer selected ambient works vol.2, some prefer this and his more recent ones like come to daddy and windowlicker or even his new drukqs. i love the selected ambient works, donkey rhubarb, boy girl ep., come to daddy and windowlicker (for track 2 and 3).
so really, listen to everything, and find your own favourites, that's the best way to get into richard d. james' music.
well, anyway, listen to...
boy girl (from the richard d. james album or the boy girl ep.)
flim, come to daddy little lord faulteroy mix and iz-us (from the come to daddy ep.)
nannou (from windowlicker)
i guess these tracks are a very good introduction into aphex...

i have only heard excerpts from drukqs, but what i heard was great. so, check this out, too. it seems that it's a very uncommon album (but which aphex album wasn't?), there are tracks for piano, prepared piano, and more 'traditional' electronic tracks.

no, i don't think it's ok... it's really embarrassing. i'm doing here my would be aphex authority and in turn i make a mistake. i listen to this song so often and i don't know it's correct name (but until this i knew it... strange). could you imagine, richard d. james is reading this and laughing out loud, 'oh yes, i always said that my fans are fucked up.' and his girlfriend says, ' don't do this, don't read the messageboards of your fans, you will get your nervous breakdown again, aphex.' poor aphex :-D

and aphex says, 'nah, after reading the fucked joyrex faq, i reckon i'm sort of fucked anyway.'
aphex' girlfriend, 'please aphexsweets, you said that you would give up swearing. you know mummy is visiting us at weekend, and she is so easily shocked. play one of your nice tunes on the piano to here, and she'll be nice, too. and also don't make that ugly faces again when she's here.'
