It's going great until Green Calx rears it's ugly head :s |

Well sure SAW1 is classic. It has lots of memories for many people. |

one of the first aphex cd's i got - i can remeber chilling out in open fields with this playing in the car |

First Aphex Twin-album i ever bought. And i was amazed by it! I remember listening to nothing else but that cd for the first couple of weeks. And now it's been months since i listened to it for the last time :-/ I think almost all his other stuff is better than this album. So i'm glad i got this one first, otherwise i probably wouldn't have enjoyed it at all :-p xtal and heliosphan are still in my top-10-best-aphextwin-tracks-ever list though! I love those songs! Infact, i think i'll go listen to the album right now. |

ill take Aphex's version of techo from 15 years ago, over the vast majority of today's producers any fuckin' day of the week Tha and Heliosphan are my faves |
||||||||

i dunno... my first intro to Aphex was Come To Daddy... and so after getting into that, going back to this, it wasnt jaw dropping to me... I listen to it now and then... its got some nice tracks on there... but I much perfer all his later stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
drenched in reverb, beautiful |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can't be arrsed with it now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
another amazing thing for me is he done it at really young age and with that equipment back then...it couldnt be much helpfull |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it has its charm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
obviously it's not the skull fuck that his later releases are... but it's a whole other side of his artistic personality that is just as beautiful |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Technically, very impressive. Influential as fuck. Beautiful, especially at the start. But the second half bores the fuck out of me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wasn't amazed by it at all when I first heard it... thing is, I was introduced to Aphex via ''skullyfuck'' beats and glitch, so this was a surprise, not knowing what to expect. Totally timeless though. I'll put this on in the car even when I'm in my midlife crisis, and still enjoy it. It gives me a clean, pure taste in my mouth when I listen to it, if that makes sense. |

as I promised here I am... cant believe no one has discussed in this thread since 2003... we are all going to hell for this and listening to xtal I see now what boc try to do with their fuzzy foggy sounds... well aphexx did it here in a very fresh and innocent way (I know its only due to the bad quality of the source... but he could have improved that it in the rereleases... but he didnt... cos he knew it was perfect that way) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ageispolis is so beautiful... and then after it "i"... just perfection broken by the wildernessof green calx... amazing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
It's good and I like it very much. I remember thinking that Green Calx was a bit too harsh for an "ambient" album when I got it (oh shit, 11 years ago :O ), but I've come to love it since then. It has Delphium, which is the track that got me onto Aphex in the first place (after noting the name Aphex from the Jesus Jones remix). Great. |

one of my favourite aphex releases. it got so much soul and feeling in it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"tha" is one of the best songs ever written |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is the best track ever! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this album is my new homework album. its not only my homework album tho. full of nice tunes and whatnot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Probably the album I have played the most and will probably remain so. Simply one of the greatest albums ever made, and for me personally, a life changing, perception altering, musical landmark. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like the sincerity of it. |
