Today I bought two more Aphex Twin albums. Now I have 5 albums. Yay!!!!! Only album I still need is SAW II. I can't get it in my neigbourhood (Holland, that is). Is SAW II any good? According to Phobiazero it's more the "dark, minimalist techno" kind of stuff. Is it like Radiator? 'Cause that's the only track I've already heard.

haha, I have 6 aphex twin albums... sucks to be you... *points and laughs* :)
no but seriously, I want SAW 85-92 so much... I really think it's gonna blow me away totally, and I don't want to download it cause it'll ruin the experience when I do finally buy the album... although it should be on the way, cause I did order it... ah well...

The albus releasedin america so far are SAWII, On EP, Surfingon sine waves, RDJ album, ICBYD, AB 1 & 3, Mike an Rich, Come To Daddy, windowlicker and course Drukqs. Thats Kind of a lot, but not really, considering you might find one of at a record store. 90% of the people here have never even heard of Aphex Twin. DAMNIT... We need an American Aphex Tour...

yeah, like here in Newfoundland, I go to Music World in the mall, and they have The RDJ album, and sometimes Come to Daddy... that's it... and not even all the time... and then, downtown in a small privately owned store they seem to be carrying ICBYD and Drukqs from now on... that's all that is carried regularly, and I have those... I was lucky, and found Surfing on Sine Waves here, and I had to order SAWII... and I have SAW 85-92 ordered, but I've had it ordered for months... ah well, hopefully it'll get here sometime...

But How people have never heard of Aphex there? You ask someone here if they've of Aphex Twin, the eithor ha no clue what your talking about, or they say it sounds familiar. People here suck...

there was a show on Much More Music about what singers and stuff are listening to... anyways, they also had a segment where they asked some people on the street... one person they asked said Aphex Twin, and that he was into SAWII and stuff... I found that cool, and that is here in Canada...

it's just that over here, people aren't into that stuff like they are over in Europe... I've heard it said that Britain always has it's finger on what's new in music, and that seems totally true... the Beatles came from there, heck shitloads of awesome bands have come from there... in time, maybe Aphex Twin will rule the billboard charts!!! :)

Not until this country isn't run by nazis. Damn society for not leaving a doorway for good music. All because it isn't Mainstream. People here would love it they ever got to here it. Damnit...

Who cares if people don't listen to the music you listen to. I couldn't care less. In fact, if I heard my favorite songs on the radio all the time I'd be sick of them. People are going to listen to what they want to listen to and if popular music is what it is than let it be.

yeah that's true... it's a vicious cycle... I want Aphex Twin, and other electronica to be popular, so that I could buy it easier... but then if it was popular, it would be played on the radio, and I would get sick of it faster... ah well...

First Of all, I hate the radio. My only point is there isn't enough eposure to a variety of music here. So Fuck Off...

I hate radio as well... what it does is destroy the listenability of music... because, some music that is played on the radio is good... but it's worn out... U2 for instance, their new album I enjoyed a lot when I first bought it, but now half the songs have been worn out and I never ever listen to the album... now, music like N'Sync, and Brittney Spears is crap, but they do play some good music sometimes...

To the FunkMaster : god, I didn't think it would be so bad getting your hands on good music anywhere in the First World. I've always been able to saunter down to my local record shop (everywhere I have lived has had a good selection of dance / techno music shops) & get what I want (or order in if really obscure). Even the main stream stores like HMV or Virgon will stock SAW.
You have my symapthies (these are not edible, & will melt above 10 degrees C)

Two buttons would be very useful in finishing off my sock puppet but the Limp Bizkit waffle maker ; change that to a Linkin Park lunch box & you have a deal

Would've had a deal but I needed to eat someting with my coffee : so I am currently extracting nutrients etc from AT's finger nails. Keeping an eye open for side effects.
How about Kylie's dried saliva?

Is it encrusted on your pillow?... hmm....
Have you got a Derek the Wonder Llama Action figure? I give you a not so complete pack of Buffy Top Trump cards along with the 2 buttons (Marl Grey to Night Sky Purple)... and the Limp Bizkit Waffle Maker (it broke) ?

I'm missing one monster card from an old top trumps pack from the 80's. If you can find that you can have the saliva, the regurgitated nails (I think I punctured my stomack as well...) and my entire new romantic make-up kit

yeah it sucks here... It's even harder to get Autechre, and Boards of Canada are a no show anywhere... Every now and then you'll find a good album downtown in one of the smaller stores... that's where I bought Chiastic Slide, and Incunabula, but other then that, you have to order the stuff in... I had to order in Music has the Right to Children... it was worth it though...
