How do I phrase this properly....? What do you think is the most "normal" sounding Aphex song....I mean, which song sounds the most mainstream...like a person who had never heard of Aphex wouldn't think it was too out of place on their local radio station..... |

Windowlicker possibly, and flim... Also his older work, is a more accessible sound, less fucked up effects, less distortion, more melody... Like selected ambiant works 83-?, and possible surfing on sine waves (polygon window) But generally, Aphex isn't very inaccessible to me... I like all his shit instantly! |

Come to Daddy seems kind of mainstream... but still completely insane... I think it's just the heavy metal guitar. |

I agree that Polygon Window probably fits with the "mainstream" more.... |

I'de agree that select ambient works 85-92 is his most accessible stuff, therefor making it the closest to 'pop' |

Come To Daddy I think, is the one that has more cross-over appeal... Flim, with it's Charlie and the Choco factory tune is very accessible... Alberto is so beautiful no-one could resist it... Taking Control takes generic beats and pulverises your brain in a new way... Windowlicker, aside from the fucked up little effects now and again, is a sound that was all the rage in the late 90's... IZ-US is pretty popish... |

All his older work in general i think... Later when the drugs went to his head the stuff is much different... Talking about inaccessibility, Ventolin is one no one i know can take because of the high pitched sound in the beginning... I love the Mother***ker! |

I think the RDJ album is the nearest to pop, but windowlicker itself is almost pure pop |

Funny, I remember I was reading some journal on a web site not long ago, and in one entry, the guy refered to the chances of him settling down and getting married as likely as hearing ventolin on the radio |

Flim hmm Windowlicker messess with the sensibilities of the meanstream fans...it's the perfect virus..it draws em in with the familiar r'n'b elements and then lands them into the middle of the digigtal freakout...nothing's more disturbing than seeing something familiar with deform and mutate...I think the video works on the same principle |

Now that I think about it, the first mix on 2 remixes might be a little poppy, as in I could see it getting more radio play |

well polynomial c is pretty mainstream for the time with the standard hardcore break and the 2 layered melody: by far the most conventional although lots of "i care" is pretty mainstreamy, with simple rythem and melody. bummy also uses a very conventional sound in a slightly mental way jingle |

Nothing he does is really mainstream, but i guess come to daddy pappy mix is the most..."accessible". Like my friend who is into all this metal and stuff loves it, and he never listens to techno. Windowlicker is kind of like that i guess, and maybe On. |
