this is such a mindblowing album. it always keeps getting better and better for me, and now to the point that it's become my favourite RDJ album (excluding come to daddy, it's sort of a mini-album/ep). At first listen i loved the more accessible songs like girl/boy song, goon gumpas, fingerbib and logon rock witch. But over time i've grown to love the rest of the album just as much. the music always sounds fresh when i put the cd on, it never gets boring. that's what truly amazing music achives, to stay timeless anyway...what i wanted to ask is, what was your first reaction to the RDJ album and how has it grown on you, what do you feel about it now compared to when you first experienced it? |

I loved it at first... it was my first album of his, and it was great listening to it in the beginning... but now it just totally bores me... I never listen to, can't even get through it any more... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i just got it actually... the first time i listened, it was ok, but a little disappointing... i had previously heard girl boy song and liked that... but nothing else really stood out. i've listened to it a few times since and it has actually gotten better each time... can't really put my finger on how or why. 4 is one of my favorite tracks from it... i remember that cuz its the first... the rest i haven't become familiar enough with yet |

ditto, although i enjoy PEEK a whole lot. |

i love this album every track is fantastic i wouldn't say it has grown on me as i have loved it from the first listen.. its more that i never tire of it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this one and "...i care because you do" were the two first listens for me, ...and yes, it always sounds nice and fresh whenever I put it on....:) I dig Fingerbib+Corn Mouth, Goon Gumpas+LogonRockWitch :) |

I never liked it, it's the least aphex sounding to me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
least aphex sounding????? this album screams afx! Beetles under my carpet, under my feet. They come out when I eat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't expect anyone to agree but the things that I like about aphex are absent from this album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
beetles isn't really part of the RDJ album (literally goes for my UK version), the girl/boy single tracks were just added for the US release but i agree, the album is 300% AFX full throttle all the way...baby :) |

"woah, it's over already?" -my first reaction |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, yeah it's good while it lasts. sort of like having an orgasm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a 30 plus minute orgasm? I didn't enjoy it nearly that much. Glad to hear that you did though. Change your shorts already boy! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
am i the only one who has 30min orgasms? ...i don't wear shorts, or pants for that matter. what's the point? :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's good but definatly not my fav.. or even one of my favs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't get girl/boy song. It is probably my least favorite on the whole album. What is wrong with me? |

no...theres much better tracks on the album than that. yellow calx fingerbib to cure a weakling child goon gumpos 4 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i read pigs have 30 minute long orgasms... : ) i loved RDJalbum at first, but then i got into ICBYD, and now i find RDJalbum lacking depth. i don't listen to it so often. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

when I first listened to this, (after drukqs, saw I, saw II, I care because you do and come to daddy) I was still really amazed... and imediately it passed to be my fav aphex release... but with time... though I still love it and still think its genious (maybe the most geniousish) I see that my taste prefers drukqs, or the older stuff (abb3, caustic, saw....) anyway is great to listen to it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's worth buying it for 4 alone. Sublime track, that. The production is ace. When I first heard it I was disappointed too, but I can listen to it and find new things almost every time. Oh and Logan Rock Witch is a big pile of wank juice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like logan rock witch... i just don't like goon gumpas. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its one of my fav. everytime i listen to it i like it better. twas one of my first and i dont listen to very often but every 2 months or so it blows me and i always play it at maximum volume!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the start of goon gumpos is similar to the start of "wouldnt it be nice" by the beach boys. |
||||||||
|
|

|
corn mouth is fantastic. i got the cd from my bro to christmas, was also my first CD from afx. |
||||||||
|

I had heard ventolin, icbyd, abb, surfing, didgeridoo, saw 1 and 2.. the rdj album came out and it was like "what in the shit is going on here" I had never heard anythinglike that before and I had been an aphex fan for years... ..needless to say it took a while to grow on me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like it, but i think the last time i heard it was about 6 years ago, i lost the CD |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i may have to download it, thats not illegal is it? i had the original cd :) |
||||||||

RDJ Album seems more playful and silly than a lot of his other works. It's really fun to listen to for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This album is perfect. |
||||||||

The apex of aphex. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Was the first afx release i bought and yeah i loved it and i guess i still do. I prefer to listen to the whole record rather than a few songs because it's so short. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never play it. or 'i care...' either. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Icbyd is my fav aphex with durkqs and ab3 rdj album is great i reckon but not my cup of tea (compared to those other 3 I mean, of course its a masterpiece... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I quote nacmat talking about drukqs this january: "Drukqs will not go down as the greatest way to end a looooooooong career(the man's been doing this for ages, early eighties) but ultimately stands as one man's final atempt to cash in before fading away..." "...This is just junk. What a waste of time and talent" now it's your favourtie, what made you change your mind so drasticly? |

I was quoting a reviewer from amazon.co.uk I have always loved drukqs it was the first aphex I ever heard... it got me into aphex and idm |

i love rdj, including Girl/boy ep... it's twice the amount funnyfunmcorgasmygoodnesswithacusswordthrownonforgoodmeasur of efuck truly is incredibly sweet... it's the kind of album, where i'll get high, start at track one and say "this is one of my favourite songs on the album", proceed to track 2, say "this is one of my favourite songs on the album (then i`ll accidentally mess up one of the buttons on the keyboard somehow, rendering my quotes never-ending...), then i`ll hit the third song and say `this is one of my favourite tracks on the album` and i will continue on this way until the very end... |

my third aphex album, after icbyd and sawi, and i didnt know really what to think in the first listening... it sounded fast, strange, headaching (it was my third electronic album too!!)... it were growing and growing on me, and now its one of the most special albums in my discography...i love the sounds and how the song are constructed...dont know..its fucking special...tsjust...rdj album...girlboy...weakling child...etc...everything...areyoustillreadingthatshit? |

I actually think it was where he started to become a bit cohesive, Like every song is pretty much perfect, that's not to take away from the early stuff but i thought he used everything he'd learnt and put it into this album. Everything he's done since then has become more cohesive as well. But i fear the smojphace thing might be like a step back, i'll save my judgement until i've heard it though! |
||||||||

|

i see the RDJ album as afx as a child cause its playful Teasing humorous mischievous drukqs as an old crazy man be-cause its so Insane psychotic ICBYD as a 40 yearold racing driver cause its so Gripping mesmerizing transfixing Absorbing spellbinding riveting enthralling fascinating come to daddy as a punk teenager cause its soo Menacing intimidating threatening windowlicker as a super pimp cause its so Slick Smooth polished ABB4 as a Stampede or mad zoo because of the songs soundings and names i.e. gibbon, cuckoo what else? |

oh please...i'd like hear your thoughts on boc! your describtions are almost more enjoyable than the music itself =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
skink, why are you worried that his work will become less cohesive? because you don't like noise (and therefore it is not cohesive), or perhaps because part is "ragga-techno" and part is noise (a better reason) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

well ok then, Bocuma reminds me of one of those huge communist parades where soldiers are marching in file order in front of Stalin, but instead of soldiers they are replaced my thousands of elks and instead of showing off nuclear missiles and weaponry on the back of tanks they are parading huge red strawberry ice poles, and Stalin is up high watching from the balcony of the Kremlin playing a trumpet which is producing this beautiful sound. Uuumm….The sky is an underwater green and its raining mush mellows....i could go on |
