hmm that got you attention.... not but really its not all that good i think. I much prefer his newer stuff with jilted drum beats, rather than SAW1 which uses the same old 303's and 808/909 sounds. It may have been cutting edge at the time, but i think if you listen to it for the first time these days, it sounds a little dated. Maybe its coz i have bought all his stuff in reverse order (Drukqs, RDJ, SAW2, SAW1, soon the Come to Daddy EP) so i dont think this would be the best introduction to have to aphex twin, as this website reckons. I think the RDJ album is much more innovative and inspiring, and still sounds very very fresh. dont ya think?!??!!? saw1 does have its good tracks though, like i cant get Heliospan out of my head. |

I think it's a great album, not over rated at all. :) But, i do agree with one thing. It's not the best introduction to him, i'd say Richard D. Album is the best introduction to him. It's definately his most accesable album. |

Yeah, it is very old, and sounds it. Nice tunes, dated sounds. I don't think I'll buy it. |

i love SAW1. great stuff. but about good aphex starters, i'll tell you what is a BAD introduction for someone: DRUKQS. why? because it's AMAZING. i bought my girlfriend that album first (all she had was SAW2 so basically she had no idea about RDJ's non-ambient music, outside of the few songs i've played on my show which she's liked) and she loves it to death. she thinks it's incredible, from the piano(-esque) tracks to the "break your fucking neck" tracks. i got her the come to daddy ep after that cos i saw it for like $10 new and guess what? yawn. his other music is a let-down compared to drukqs. so the moral of this story is to get SAW1, the RDJ album, or come to daddy FIRST, then aphex's crowning masterpiece, drukqs. thank you. |

I agree w/ titsworth courier :) erm... simply because the tracks, imho, are beautiful... and for someone to be making them when they're 14 years old is whack! That's an amazing quality that doesn't come around to people quite so often as the "typical" drill'n'bass movement nowadays. |

plus Heliosphan, Xtal, and Tha are each brilliant... the cd is worth it just for those tracks... |

For the best education in what's been cutting edge in music over the last decade simply listen to the Twin releases in date order... It's all about development... SAWI was in my walkman for a year non-stop....Tha is my fave ever Aphex track (especially at half speed)... |

I must agree with titsworth_courier..its dangerous to reveal such a devestating weapon as DrukQs that early (it could be too mindblowing). |

The best introduction would be a selfmade compilation of tracks..he got so many styles on every ablum. |

So I'm not the only one that thinks Drukqs is a mind blowing masterpiece, sweet! ---------- his other music is a let-down compared to drukqs. so the moral of this story is to get SAW1, the RDJ album, or come to daddy FIRST, then aphex's crowning masterpiece, drukqs. thank you. |

about him being 14 when he made it... i wouldn't take it literally. Maybe he made some of the synth sounds or drum patterns when he was 14, or some of the synths he uses later on SAW... after all, rich talks out of his ass. but hmm i still think it sounds dated now, as soooo many people have used those sounds, ya know. but it IS good. |

do you people seriously think Drukqs is his crowning acheivement? Like come on... sure it's really good, but it's not that good... |

yeah, it reminds me of people who think the white album is the beatles' best album. it's got too much filler/sub-par material, plus it's not terribly original. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|

Go Drukqs! Go Drukqs! SAWI is okay, but I hardly ever listen to it. Kind of a waste of money, in my opinion. =D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't like it very much, but I don't think it's shit. There are at least 4 or 5 tracks that I do like on it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Blasphemy! SAW 85-92 is his most consistent, best work. And Drukqs is good, but christ, it ain't his best album. |

I don't like people who talks bullshit about SAW 85-92. |

Are you all mad, or just retarded? SAW Vol.1, is one the the greatest electronic albums of all time. "not terribly original" - WHAT?!! It was ground-breaking! Aphex was/is so ahead of the times! Just check out ANY electronic music magazines list of top albums ever, and SAW1 will be on it! It's my fave RDJ release, and will always hold a special place in my heart and in history. |
||||||||
|
|

|

SAW1 does sound dated, but it only adds to the whole experience, for me anyway. Nice and retro... it's so foreign compared to the stuff he does now. And brilliant in its own way... the sounds are dated but the songs are not. |
