What Am I Missing?

I keep feeling as if I've missed a whole lot from Aphex
Twin. I only have what might be considered essential
releases, I haven't ventured into the lesser known stuff,
and releases under other aliases. Rather than go throwing
money around (that I don't have), I'd like you guys to help
me.

What tracks from old Aphex releases do you think I need to
not only help me get back into him, but to give me clues as
to my next Aphex buy.

I have:
Selected Ambient Works 85-92
Selected Ambient Works Volume II
I Care Because You Do
Come to Daddy E.P.
Richard D. James Album (Europe vers.)
Drukqs

Thanks.

it depends on your tastes.

but having what you have and with my taste I would go for:

analogue bubblebath 3
surfing on sine waves (very much like saw 85-92)
classics (compilation)
caustic window compilation

and in second place I would go for:

on ep
on mixes ep
ventolin ep
ventolin mixes ep
2 remixes by afx

about my 4 top options:

analogue bubblebath 3 : one of my favourites
surfing on sine waves (very much like saw 85-92)
classics (compilation with the digeridoo ep, xilem tube ep,
half of abb1 ep and some extras, great old aphex, but its
hard if you like that)
caustic window compilation: includes all the releases under
this name, but except two tracks, r2d2 and popcorn, the rest
are all here (joyrex j4, j5, j9, j9i)

Any particular tracks though?

there are real gems on the Ventolin EPs. some filler too,
but some of the best 7\ tracks (crowsmengegus mix, probus
mix, cylob mix, wheeze mix.....)

Slow down, I don't want to download too many from one
release... it would be pointless buying then.

get the ventolin mixes thingey, itll be worth it.. (altho
with aphex you can never be sure)

caustic window is top notch too


 

offline uzim on 2003-07-03 06:53 [#00765937]
Points: 17716 Status: Lurker



ok, download Ventolin [crowsmengegus mix] then =)


 

offline uzim on 2003-07-03 06:55 [#00765938]
Points: 17716 Status: Lurker



btw, the "ventolin remixes" EP is imo better than the
"ventolin" EP


 

offline JAroen from the pineal gland on 2003-07-03 06:56 [#00765939]
Points: 16065 Status: Regular



yeah.. ventolin was pretty average imo

Windowlicker was the first Aphex I ever heard. Were it not
for that track I probably wouldn't even be here now.
