Don't fall off your chairs in disbelief....I'm actually sat here listening to Aphex Twin SAW I, and I really like this track. Also Ptolemy is very good in my opinion. Yeah...yeah....I know this material has been talked about over and over, but hey - this is me we're talking about! Thanks to those out there that got me into electronic music - you know who you are! :D |

electronic music has the potential to be so expressive. there is alot of dead sounding stuff, but alot fo very vivrant and alive sounding stuff, too. |

|
|
Yes yes. Heliosphan, Xtal, Ageispolis all rule. |
||||||||

ah, the joy that is SAW I...it's one of the best album to get one into Aphex Twin/IDM! |

i dont know what musical background you come from. some come from metal, some come from post-punk/new wave, soem coem from hip-hop, but i just love the amalgam of electronic. it has everything you could ever want, when done right. i love hearing electronics back up something like a piano or an acoustic guitar. it's just the best. |

that was the first 'electronic' album i ever bought. And indeed i could not believe how beautiful heliospan was :-) I love that track! Also xtal. I enjoy the entire album, but xtal & heliospan are definitly the standout tracks for me. |

yes....and electronic music has such a clean feeling. I like the perfection of electronic music because it doesn't have the flaws of acoustic instruments. does that sound strange?? above all, I like the fact that with electronic music you can create a never-ending range of new sounds, never heard ny anyone before. |

Yeah electronic sounds are already being used as other "instruments" in traditional orchestra recordings, especially film scores. They are capable of producing tones not achievable with conventional instruments, yet which still retain that classical "feel" of real instruments. Check out the work of the guy (forget his name) who did the music to "Ice Age". He often uses softsynths in his orchestral compositions and simply layers the softsynth track with the recording of the live orchestra. He said that often you don't notice it, but take it away and it sounds flat and dead- as if there was no reverb or an element missing. |

The whole album is spectacular... even if you don't believe a single rumour about him/it, the songs are as memorable as any in the very small cannon of 'techno classics'. Brilliant stuff. |

PS. Isn't Heliosphan the one with the flanged strings? |

Stop raining on our parade, meanie. SAW 85-92 is as wicked as a witch, great place to put your toe in and test the waters. Ptolemy makes me feel like I'm in some cheesy early 80's rave-ish thingy with lots of poofy haired heads bobbing about, but that's OK. |

I was watching a kids tv show on BBC 1 a couple of weeks ago and Heliosphan started playing as these jugglers came on. Weird. |
