Some stuff from classics is hardly worth a second listen. It is quite like generic belgian hardcore stuff... early hardcore rave stuff. Ofcourse, some stuff like Polinomial C and Analogue Bibblebath and Digiridoo are really nice..but on the whole, the tracks really don't hold up as songs...

I L-O-V-E Classics!!
I bought it second hand, thinking it was a piece of garbage, but the CDs in mint condition, and I just die for the tracks on there...
I can't explain it. They're just so...so unique. I have no idea where he got all the sounds from. Stuff like Phloam is just pure brilliance.
(Then again, I'm an early Aphex junkie)

thats why I like them.
they sound unusual.
but avril 14th is just so prettyprettypretty and kind of reminds you of every other melancholic piano-tune you've ever heard.

Yeah. They are unusual, but when you go on a Drukqs binge for as long as I did, you appreciate every single track, then never really listen to the album properly ever after.
I don't know why, probably because I know every single little bit of it from memory! Just gets a bit boring.
But don't get me wrong: when the album grew on me, I remember saying the words, "I'll never need another album -- everything I've ever wanted is here."
So...there you go.

Girl/Boy Song and Vordhosbn are very good but overrated imo.
also [weathered stone], my least favorite from SAWII i think.

also in general drukQs, Come To Daddy, and RDJalbum, those releases are good or very good but not as great as some find them imo (i find Come To Daddy being unequal, drukQs too long and sounding quite the same too often, RDJalbum lacking a bit depth).

Toejam - sorry about the late reply! Thanks, glad you really like the site. I'm into most electronic music, really (except BoC), so it's no surprise I like Aphex Twin. ;)
New FSOL album? Erm, later this year, preceeded by an Amorphous Androgynous single. That's all we currently know.

this is silly... of course people aren't going to be in love with the same aphex songs as others... that's why he's aphex twin! he evokes passion from all sides... i can't say that i dislike much of anything that he has released under the aphex twin moniker, but i'm not super fond of some of his releases under other names... it's mostly because a lot of it is earlier stuff, and doesn;t live up to the quality of much that he has put out since... but i still rank Saw 85-92 as one his greatest releases... yes it sounds like acid house... this is because he was busy being a forerunner of the genre when he was a teenager back in the bloody mid eighties... it's wicked because the melodies are timeless... and the steady beats are still interesting because of their sonic quality...

just because you don't like a track that 'everyone else' thinks is good, doesn't mean it's overrated.
to claim that it is, is to say that you are somehow smarter, or are able to make a more accurate assesment of a track's value than everybody else.
this is why i think these 'overrated' threads are silly and, well, overrated.
