this was rare once, but now its reissued, did you buy the new one?
do you still play old aphex?
because it was ages since I plyed some oldschool aphex and to be honest this is so much better than anything coming out now
the tuss is quite good, the analords are too... but compared to this its just bland
this is incredible... whenever one forgets why aphex is or was the "king" of techno, all you need is to come back to his roots
I think the whole idm thing did not really do good to aphex... I mean when it was not about idm just about techno... results were so much fresher

classics is a mixed bag. it certainly has its highs and lows even within individual tracks. at some points it's just way to repetitive, even for dancemusic, i guess. at other points the imaginativeness is still refreshing after all these years.

Some amazing tracks on this of course, but some seriously shite ones too. RDJ wasn't too happy about R&S releasing this, so either he feels the same way, or these tracks meant a lot to him.
Regardless, Digeridoo, Polynomial-C and Dodecahedron are some of my favourite tracks ever. He really was in a league of his own back then.

Well I only really like the tracks I mentioned above. The rest are either repetitive and boring (flaphead, phloam, tamphex), or just incredibly grating (the we have arrived remixes)
I do like Metapharstic though. I guess I just never really got into industrial techno that much.

well i have the individual vinyls too, but I am talking about this one
compliations of eps are not bad imo... another thing is greatst hits which I think tend to not make justice
but this ar ethe three eps plus some extra tracks... I think its a great thing
as for the individual releases those are no doubt some of aphex finest moments

some good tracks on it, specially polynomial-c for me... but i cant see how can it be better than the tuss, honestly, maybe just in impact compared to other music arround at the time, but latest afx creations are a lot better in musical quality terms and imo...

I absolutely love the harder tracks on this: Flaphead, Phloam, Tamphex (Hedphuq Mix) amongst others. I enjoy the live Digeridoo(s) more than the studio version.

Most of the tracks you don't like I can agree with you on. However Flaphead is awesome. I like the fact that it grinds on and on.
