Dear God this is why I avoided him for so long... I hate getting into artists late in the ballgame when they already have a huge discography with tons of rarities and eps and singles... After work I gotta go get SAW 85-92, or Surfing on Sine Waves, or Saw II. If my favorite little boutique can't help me, I'm gonna have to hit :: shudder :: HMV. 8-< |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Nothing wrong with HMV...I bought shit loads of warp stuff there the other year for £5 a CD. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fleetmouse & braindance, could either of you give me a linky to HMV ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
an HMV is opening up here... hopefully they'll carry lots of electronic music! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They always board me wallet and make off with me gold, yarr. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's a pretty amazing price. The prices at the downtown Montreal HMV are more like HELP MY PANTS ARE ON FIRE |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
get SAW85-92... it's the best of those three you mentioned imo... so yummy, even though the sound quality is not great! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah that's the one I'm leaning towards, if they have it in stock. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
$23.99 is cheap ? its about $14.00 here *it wont let me put "$23." in the linky :0( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Our money is worth cents on the dollar. Thank god food is still relatively cheap. Well I dint get nothin... they were all out of SAW 85-92 downtown... I could order it at my usual music store but fuckit, I'm gonna order it online and have it delivered. Too lazy for all this running around on the off chance some pile of bricks will have it. HMV was so fucking depressing. They have a tiny section labeled Drum & Bass with a few things by Autechre and Aphex and that. They arbitrarily put the warp stuff there and had other stuff in a "techno"section... it's always been that way, and anything good is overpriced. |
||||||||

There used to be a large HMV in harvard square, but it either went out of business or closed or moved or something. They had a decent electronic selection, but kinda pricey . The Virgin megastore on newbury st. is where I usually go now, or Newbury comics. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
saw 85-92 is actually awful and possibly the worst pick of those three. oh and drum&bass rocks! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

fleetmouse: it really sucks when you end up with all tracks available in some form or another, and you desperately want new releases from such an artist (yes aphex in this case), but there's nothing you can do about it except wait, so you make sure you buy up all the official releases available, and when you've gone and done that you start downloading albums you already have, in hope of finding that past feeling of listening to such tracks for the first time. whew. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like SAW 85-92 a lot judging by the files I've downloaded. I certainly like it a lot better that the newer stuff I've heard. Don't kill me for saynig that k. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wow it's like an alcoholic wringing a drink out of a bar rag! :-) It won't happen to me - I like too many different artists and styles. But I'm listening to some fresh copies of SAW 85-92 I just downloaded - they don't have the encoding errors of the first set I downloaded, and man it's like nothing I've ever heard before. This must be what that first shot of H feels like. |

don't pay more than a fiver for most of his back catalogue in england. even drukqs is now only 8 quid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SAW 85-92 is one of RDJ's best imo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I had to order SAW85-92 when I bought it, cause it's impossible to get here in a store... and it took probably 4 or 5 months I'd say, to come in! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fleet, you're just getting into aphex, or what? for those of us who already have everything, i find that neglected releases sometimes double as new and exciting ones when you go back to them.. for example me and caustic window compilation. for me it still sounds very fresh. classics also. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I find that too... although I've tried it with classics, you know giving it another chance after ages not listening, and it still sucked to my ears... but I do find that with lots of cds... I'll buy something, listen to it for a while and not really get into it, and then after a few months I'll pick it up and it'll click... it's awesome, almost like buying a new cd... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you can find em, get the hangable auto bulbbs..... some of Richard's best work IMO, ::shrugs:: but start wit the more connom stuff, and move on from there... that's what I id.... just finished aboooooooooout half a year ago.... and SO glad I started :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
caustic window is the album i play most often |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
me too, followed by drukqs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, and saw 2. rarely listen to any of t'others. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
same here, but sometimes i'll put on RDJ album, ICBYD, or come to daddy out of mostly guilt (i overplayed these when i got them years ago, they're really good tho) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"you just wanna be fucked in your ass" this (above) is a sample used in DJ - "fuCked in the ass"... pretty cool hardcore (house) track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I go with j198 here, i never saw what anyone else does in saw85-92. apart from tracks such as "we are the music makers" and .. um wait no that's the only half-way decent track on the whole thing. SAW2 kicks its ass by miles. it has beautiful melodies so it does. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I first got into electronic with ae, then when I heard some Aphex it was like, hey, not complicated enough. But I'm finding that SAW 85-92 is like an iceberg - there's lots under the surface - it's slippery and elusive, like FSOL's dead cities - there's something about it I can't quite grasp after repeated listens, and that pleases me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
icbyd is the one I listen to more lately followed by classics |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can see the comparison there bw saw1 and dead cities. neither are anything like confield or ep7 but both have this dark and brilliant simplicuty to them that make them more rewarding to listen to. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
icbyd is my favorite as well. i love the last track, whatever it's called. |
||||||||
|

You live in Montreal fleetmouse? As amazing the city is, we're fucked for CD stores. There's HMV and Archambault. THAT IS ALL! They have mediocre IDM and electronica stuff. They overprice their stuff, and it's fairly mainstream. If you want a good electronica store, it's on St-Catherine, near the Concordia university, between St-Marc and Guy. It's called CD Esoterik, I bought most of my Aphex CD's from there. There's also Cheap Thrills, it's a small store on the second floor of a house, 2044 Metcalfe. I bought a couple of AFX EP's there, they were normally priced, about 15$. Finally, for more indie-rock Québécois stuff (the whole GYBE family, per example), you must go to L'oblique, 4333 Rivard just near the Mont-Royal station. |

buy them in this order: SOSW SAW85-92 SAWII you wont regret it, youll always go back to these three cds and find they were some of richard's best. i just recently found out that Delphium kicks ass. |

|

|
|

Yeah I go to Esoterik a lot... I'm gonna have to order some stuff through them - cheaper than mail order when you figure in the delivery. |

good collection btw is that a korg fx pedal in the corner |

Hey, does anyone want to tell me the poop on SAW II? I downloaded it with 23 tracks, but aren't there supposed to be extra tracks on the UK release? All I see in stores is the Warners / Sire release... (I'm not gonna give it a serious listen until I have a hard copy and I can lie on the floor and zone out with the full fucking bandwidth) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahaha, you're right....the only missing piece! (besides AB5 and MFM) |
||||||||
|
|

and the thingy in the corner is a Boss GT-6 guitar effects processor |

Get SAW85-92 first, retro goodness. And it's definitely worth hunting down the SAW2 with the bonus tracks, Hankie and Stone in Focus are two of the best on there (or NOT on there, snicker). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SHIT! Don't torture me, tell me what SAW II edition is most complete! I'm gonna call Esoterik on Monday and order SAW 85-92. I biked around hitting just about every used and new music shop in the downtown core, no luck. :-P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Actually, I think the only way to get both bonus tracks is to have the Warp vinyl? I'm not sure though. Anyone? It has 25 tracks. The Warp CD has 24... it lacks Stone in Focus. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The CD release they're selling at Warpmart has only 21 tracks. I think the Sire release has 23... whut th |
