Polygon Window suggestion

Is Surfing on Sine Waves worth my money? The only Polygon
Window track I've heard is "R2D2" and I love it.

How would you describe this album amd what would you compare
it to?

if you're a collector get it
i think it sounds a bit like classics, a bit more mellow
tho
i like couple of tracks pretty much

no, caustic window is more techno compared to PW. Polygon
has great deeper melodies inside

I like both.

Polygon is more chilled where as caustic is more, well..
caustic.

Surfing on sine waves is like a SAW1 meets AB

Or like SAWII with 4 on the floor beats underneath.

Quite nice but I admit that it doesnt always find its way
onto the CD player.

on the mike and rich cd at the record store,there's a little
sticker that says something like "The most legendary
electronic team up of the decade" and iwas thinking about
writing on it "in theory"

way corny, but a classic (to me anyway).

im not taking is seriouse at all, and i still cant

I'd say for sure simply because I grew up on 'Surfing on
Sine Waves' and so it has a lot of meaning to me.

yeah cheers..

pick it up, it's a classic. i can remember just graduating
highschool and being completely stoned off my gourd listeing
to Surfing.., looking at the cover art really closely and
seeing the really light text that's kinda hidden in there...
ahh good times.

R2D2 is not Polygon, that's Caustic Window. So.....yeah.

But SOSW is brilliant! I love it! One of my all-time fav
Aphex CD's.

Supremacy II is wicked....
Quoth is like the Caustic side of Polygon.
On the Romance Tip and Cordialatron are the polygonal sides
to Caustic.

Quino-phec is a great closer!!
and those two bonus tracks (Portreath Harbour + Redruth
School) are so creamy chill!!! :) :)

I bought this CD in Virgin Megastores in NY. First actual
bought Aphex CD.

I grew up on it and ICBYD. Got ICBYD for a present, 14th
birthday, cause I liked the cover. Been lovin' it ever
since....
