Might as well imitate a good idea. Selected Ambient Works 85 - 92 Surfing on Sine Waves Selected Ambient Works II ... I Care Because You Do Classics Analogue Bubblebath 3 Richard D. James Album Caustic Window Compilation Melodies From Mars Drukqs Which is the worst of these? (Did I forget any?) I reckon AB3 has to be up there, or the Caustic Window stuff. Mind you, Drukqs isn't too great. |
||||||||

This will probably come as a shock to most but: Druqks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would say... SAW1 perhaps... he hasnt exactly released anything terrible |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would have to go with Surfing on Sine Waves..... But shit...does Richard really have ANY "worst" pieces? =) BOC forever |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Id say Drukqs probably. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

caustic window isnt shit at all-its fantastic especially when heard through a huge pa!! i cant think of anything that rich has released that is shit...really i cant. and what on earth is wrong with ab3? good god where are your ears!!! you love boc dont ya ironlung??!!!! |

Drukqs |

Come on, Ken, some of the stuff on AB3 is useless. Track 1, for instance, is very ordianry. Most of the album is all right, but none of it really grabs my attention. As for Caustic Window, at least four tracks on this are shoddy: Clayhill Dub, AFX 114, that silly ironic rave tune, and Humanoid Must Not Escape. Surfing On Sine Waves is a great album. |

huh what?.... Who me??? (wink wink) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So, apparently Drukqs it is. And what about that title? Fucking preposterous. I actually think half of it is brilliant but the rest is just sketches that should have never left RDJ's harddisk. |

classic is the one i listen to lesser than all the others... |

Surfing on Sine Wawes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What don't people like about Surfing On Sine Waves? Every song on it is great. I can see why some might not like Quoth, or Supremacy II. But the rest is brilliant. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
For me I dont think it is a matter of me hating "Sine Waves"...Perhaps I choose that one because it is the one album I have heard the least and do not own.... =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just think that all my other AFX-albums are great. But Surfing....? Not great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you guys have the US release of Surfing On Sine Waves, because that has two extra tracks. If so, what are they like? |
||||||||
|
|

ab3 krendo is a wicked little compilation as is the caustic window..agree in terms of completed albums they dont run well-but they're not albums they're compilations...which contain some great music. and come on krendo, there aint THAT much difference between sufing and ab3-pretty confidnt the tunes on each were made around the same time/same production etc. anyway, i think they're ace. oh and listen to clayhill dub through a huge pa. thats my advice on this shite friday afternoon ;> |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they're good-especially red ruth school. quite bassy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like the idea, Ken :) I don't have a big PA system, though. You're right about AB3 and Surfing coming out at the same time, but I don't think AB3 is anywhere near as good, apart from track 3 and track 13. The background track to Garden of Cinmiri is good, too. But I'm jealous of the fact that you get to listen to AFX's stuff on big speakers. I only ever listen to it on my puny little stereo, and even then only when none of my friends are around. They just tell me to turn it off. Especially my room mate. |

|
|
ooohh-the caustic window stuff does sound crappy through a normal streao-but theres some serious bass on that compilation!!-needs to be indulged LOUD! to be fair i used to hate ab3, ive only really got heavily into it recently. see im not such a big fan of i care because you do!! see!!?? what the fuck do i know mate!!! ha! ;> |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aphex + A nice stereo w/subwoofer= greatness.... good call Ken |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ahh, Ken, that would explain it. You're obviously insane. I Care Because You Do is a great album! What other insane music do you like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm, out of my Aphex Twin albums it would be SAWII now... I do really like it, but I like all APhex Twin albums that I have heard... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Caustic Window is GREAT so is AB3 for anyone who mentioned those as being "bad". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No!!! SAW II is his best! Mind you, I hated it for the first year of owning it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Surfing on Sine Waves is the worst of those imo... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wasnt too keen on AB4... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
AB4 is very weak, but I don't think it's an album. The first track is disgraceful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, that distorted "WOOOOOOOO!" caves my head in.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love the first track on AB4. I don't know why but I do. I use it to open alot of my "energizing" mix CD's. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have a friend who I'm trying to convert slowly to Aphex. He thinks AB4 is really good, including the first track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You do? I like the beat, but the track just doesn't go anywhere. I'd use Entrance to Exit instead, if it's energy your looking for. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
When I go wakeboarding I have AB4 song 1 cranked while I'm still on the dock. Everone around can't stand the song and my friends and I occasionally scream along with the whooooooo!. Entrance to Exit usually ends up on the disc later. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I could never name an album as his worst! It's just so unthinkable! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I see your point. 'Least Remarkable' then. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think he's ever matched SAWII - THAT album is his most divine work. i don't much like expert knob twiddlers |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Drukqs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I listen to drukqs every once in a while, but i do a lot of skipping. By the way, has anyone listened to both disks straight through in one sitting? If so did you go insane? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I got Classics recently. Didn't like one track on it at all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SAWII is my least favorite right now, I've only had it for a few months... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
classics is a fantastic album... ...i have listened to both discs of drukqs in one sitting and didn't struggle - it reminds me of this pissy article i read in a trendy magazine saying that most of his music is unlistenable and that's what makes it "cool" -- i was forced to laugh at such crap |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, marlow you are in right, Classics is great! But, i understand a lot of people doesn't like it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
AB4 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
AB is indeed very very dissapointed! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
AB3 is great! AB4 is decent, I think. I like Gibbon, Cuckoo, Sloth, but the WHOOOO track is kind of annoying... understatement. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think Drukqs is his best work along with RDJA. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can't believe afx fans dislike classics |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The RDJ album, and ICBYD are his best... |
||||||||
|
