Drukqs is pretty good, second disc is a bit naff. Richard D James is very good. ICBYD I heard samples on amazon, and wasn't very impressed. Classics is really, really bad. I also wasn't too keen on SAW II. Judging on my current preferences, what would be sutable future AFX buying material? |

ICBYD and SAW 85-92 reaally do stand up to the RDJ Album. Buy those two at least. ICBYD includes 'alberto balsalm', considered in polls at this board to be the best aphex track ever ( I'm sad because i counted the votes)) SAW contains heliosphan, the finest of his early works. forget the rest for now. |

you can't judge ICBYD by samples man... you must get it... that and The RDJ album are my two fav Aphex albums... I find it hard to pick a better one of the two... |

RDJ album is undoubtedly beyond criticism it is very hard to pick a favorite...i have always liked gene wilder though and that sample of him in WE are the Music Makers still sends chills up my neck |

All of RDJ's music is unmatched, but "2 remixes by AFX" i found to be really good...I couldn't take it out of my CD player for a week. |

I noticed that Alberto Balsam was the favourite track too. It seems to be only the favourite among Aphex Twin "Fans". People who don't like much of his stuff seem to like windowlicker best. Anyone else notice this? |

i don't agree... it seems like the more fairweather Aphex fan likes the more mellow tracks from ICBYD or "Flim", or the pseudo- metal "Come 2 Daddy", while more hardcore Aphex fans like the more extreme RDJ album and HAB2 and SAW2. |

Try Come to Daddy. Bumblefuk: I think you´re wrong. I´m a pretty big fan and I like the mellow stuff the most. |

I agree with both you guys actually: it takes the mellow stuff or quasi-hardcore stuff (come to daddy) to get people into aphex. It doesn't necesarily CHANGE from their favorite. Alberto Balsalm was my favorite the first time I ever heard aphex and it still is today. However I would NOT have gotten into aphex listening to RDJ album or even the rest of ICBYD. the fairweather fans will hear those songs and like them and maybe not go deeper into aphex, the ones who fall in love with it, like me, will have their horizons expanded... |

I don´t think RDJ album is one inch deeper than say Alberto. |

I started with The RDJ album, and then ICBYD... and they're both my favorites still... the thing is though, that The RDJ album was my very first, and it works on many levels... it's very enjoyable immediately, but if you want to disect the music, it stands up to that... the same with ICBYD... so I started with those, and as time went on I got more and more into them... |

i don't mean to imply that ICBYD is bad, but it is closer to Boards of Canada type stuff, and a lot of the closer to mainstream fans who might like BoC or old Autechre freak out at stuff like Windowlicker or Squarepusher, or the last couple of Autechre records. it also seems that people who say that ICBYD is Aphex's best also absolutely hate Ventolin. Ventolin sounds like nothing else before, a totally creative mindfuck track, maybe only now Venetian Snares has started to similar stuff. i just find it hard to believe that anybody who is not a fan of Aphex and Squarepusher, would even listen to more than a third of Windowlicker without freaking out, or that they would be very rare. |

i'm guessing you don't like monotonous beats since you're not into his earlier work, but for god's sake, don't skip icbyd or sawii!! icbyd has some shitty (imo, ofcourse) songs like come on you slags on it, but there are instant classics on that one. and sawii is just complete relaxation. i like track 13 off the second disc best, reminds me of huge, huge spaceships. otherwise download hangable auto bulb for heavy drillnbass. |

bumblefuk: you mean freak out in a bad way? as in 'alright, i'm not listening to this gibberish no more, no way man' ? cause in that case you're prolly right. |
