listening to the last track after a day of snowboarding...driving down from the slopes...such a good memory. listening to that album any time in the winter is very soothing.

At first I was well disappointed. I thought it was shit techno. But now it's one of those albums I go back to about once every month or two. Just played Polygon Window on my radio show today actually.
I love almost (if not) all of the tracks. But I haven't got the reissue so I don't know about Redruth School or the other one. Considered buying it again for those two tracks but then I thought I might be being a bit of an Aphex worshipper.

Bought this today. Maybe it's just the name, but I was expecting something more like Caustic Window.
I'm only on UT1 - dot at the moment, but this reminds me of SAW85-92 more than Caustic.
Although UT1 - dot reminds me of Amber, actually.

i personally love this album. i've had it a good few years now and i keep coming back to it. every time it sounds just as fresh as the first.
the insistent techno rhythms are worlds away from the hectic percussion of richard's later aphex twin releases. the skewed melodies are beautiful. the textures of the record are really evocative. close your eyes and you can almost see the stark but beautiful landscapes of cornwall. it seems unlikely, but every listen reveals more. i find it really atmospheric. that beautiful sound somewhere between ambient and techno.
other than aphex twin, its my favourite alias that rich has released under. and i rate 'surfing on sine waves' higher than some of the aphex twin records.
but no one else who's posted yet on this thread (with the possible exception of ziggomatic) seems to share my enthusiasm.

It's one of my favourite CD's. It definitely is one of those albums that reveals more elements the more you listen. Which is surprising at first, because initially it seems to primitive.

Polygon Window, If it really is me (gives a nice and peaceful feeling), Supremacy II, Redruth School and Quino-Phec are my faves.
Just thought I'd mention that.

its been twelve years since polygon window - i think richard has moved on since then.
best leave it as it is.
no point revisiting something thats already complete as it is.

It's the first aphex I heard back in 93 and therefore it still makes total sense to me today,it's been nice to hear the progression.I can imagine anyone who hears it after just discovering "Come to daddy" or something is going to think "Is that the same person" but it has some beautiful tracks-polygon window is a favourite of course and UT1-dot,untitled(7) and quixote seem to work perfectly as a trilogy.It has a mysterious atmosphere throughout to me and because it was done on hardware gear he may or may not have built himself,has an analogue feel he hasn't quite captured since.It's from a time when the rumours and lies and his reclusivness was more interesting.The story about the spilt orange juice on the master tapes is interesting.I don't know if anyone else has ever noticed this but during "Quixote" there is a tiny bit where the sound drops out(just after the 5 minute mark)as if the master was damaged in some way.It's on every copy I've ever heard.And I really wish that more tracks from those sessions had been uncovered,I for one don't believe that only 2 outtakes exist,damn him for shrugging his shoulders and saying "em,just use those 2" from the first tape he found.Grr!:)

By intelligently utilizing 4 dummy hand grenades, a 40 gallons of slightly alcoholic bolivian vodka and no less than 17 demolotion cranes, I have reserved one hour slots for all dissident members with leading torture experts and psychiatrists.
Following this healthy treatment I hope you will all happily murmer along with me as I chant about the subdued polyphonic glories of quixote, the meandering violence of good ol' untitled track 7, and the driven introspection of UT1-Dot.
infidels.

I heard Polygon Window in that Autechre Breezeblock set, it reminded me I had been neglecting this album. It is really interesting. The sounds are so fuzzy and warm, it is one of his best albums, I could see how some could argue it is the best one.

it's statements like those which caused me to throw you out of the ~90th floor of a building.
It's very nice soothing music, but also with good development. Not as eclectic as other output but still interesting.

My wife and I are arguing as to whether "Is it Really Me" (track 04) is a direct rip-off of Nadia's Theme (theme from the Young and the Restless). It certainly seems to sound like that song, but who knows. Can anybody shed some light?

this used to be my favourite.. its not now, but of course I love it... I like more harsh aphex now... but anyway its nice the old sound and sweet charm this album has
no weak track (even with quoth in it)... perfect flow... solid and nice

ive been listening to this recently. even tho Redruth School isnt one of the best, i love the last three tracks for being nice and consistent.
even tho (imo) theres better, it really is a great album when you finally get into it.

supremacy II is the supreme track. Quoth is good to belt out while driving - but to be honest its not that good. The title track is a lot like SAW85-92
