Just bought it....

I'd been listening to a friend's copy that he'd bought when
I told him about Aphex...I dunno, but I've always had this
weird love for early aphex. It just has this great
character.

I have no idea why I didn't just burn it, but it didn't seem
right. I felt that I would either buy it or buy it
secondhand.

And so i bought it for 16 bucks second hand (Australian,
that is).

What do you guys think of it?

LuxExTenebris....thanks!

Laquero....you're just like my friend. He also dislikes it.

BTW, I really love the Australian-ness of it, like the
pictures of starfish and boomerangs and such.

It seems like the sort of album that will bring back
memories when I hear it when I'm 30....which is double my
current age.

SAW 85-92 is the sunny summer album

and Classics is a bit like an orchestra being flushed deeper
down the London sewers, their sound getting darker and more
hardcore with every meter

Yeah...I like SAW85-92 a lot, and I tend to like playing it
when I go to stay at someone's house or if I go on a
holiday.

What was your first Aphex item, Lux?

SAW85-92! Not only it was my first Aphex cd, but my first
electronic experience as well! I love playing it on bright
summer days... Brings up many sweet memories :)

then I bought I Care Because You Do... and that's when my
journey in the world of electronic started for real. Look
what the thing has done to me! :)

Classics kick my ass all over the place. Much respect to
RDJ and his early efforts at some fine work.
It's NOT dull. Exhausting - yes, dull - no.

i like early stuff of artists too.

classics is very nice, although it makes me so depressed..
when i listen to it i feel like they have thrown me to a
well or something. dunno why, it's not a really 'serious'
album at all. but thats just how i feel.
