Boy, this album is fantastic... I'm even starting to appreciate Ventolin, although I have to turn the volume down cause it gives me a headache at high volumes... so, if you like this album, what aspects do you like the most? For me it's the synths used in the songs... they are so sweet... they just surround you with this sound, and it's so gorgeous... I also love the percussion, and the way it kind of interacts with the synth sounds... This album is so awesome!!! |

ICBYD is the best! |

I love the beats! I love every bit of it, Ventolin and the crazy sounds throughout. Very brilliant work by Aphex! |

It is his best, highlights? When the violin drops in The Waxen Pith Nip when you hear the first few seconds of Start As You Mean to Go On for the first time in a long time it is fucking magical I Care Because You Do is, in my opinion, the most amazing music ever written. I could go on like this, but you get the idea |

ICBYD is aphex, Drukqs is a response to critics. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
icbyd is awesome , minus the ventolin |
||||||||
|

dare I say it, Ventolin has a beautiful melody? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEE i really like the melody, it's thaat damn EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE noise that makes my head want to explode |
||||||||

i care because he did |

I don't understand why people don't like Ventolin. So it's a constant high-pitched noise, but it sounds so cool and makes the whole song sound so long! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
very true... personally i think it's an artistic masterpiece- that i can't stand- it's a fucking audio representation of an asthma attack- wtf do you expect? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Precisely! It's a masterpiece. I can understand having problems with Come On, you Slags! though. "Slags" gives me more headaches than Ventolin ever would! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think your picture is fantastic funkmaster |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
spook- i can definately see that- just so long as we're all agreed that i'm always right. (and yes the master has a very "interesting" photo) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

It's a great album. Waxen Pith - strange, but genuinely appealing acrid avid jamshred - very cool beat Come on you slags - I start laughing everytime he says it Cow cud - funny, intriguing little track Next heap with - unnerving, powerful album closer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd have to say cow cud is a twin is my fav |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, this is an amazing album. Seems to have a universal appeal... I can listen to it in any mood, anytime, and there's something on there that will be right for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You know, I think "universal appeal" describes it best! My girlfriend, who is not a fan of Aphex in general, loved a handful of tracks from this record! She wants a copy of it! And the piano pieces from Drukqs! Surprizing, eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

à must say that Ventolin´s growing on me like a damn virus. the high pitch used to be anoying at first, but now i love it, i feel like that weird kinda "masoquistic pleasure" when i hear it, not to mention how much i love to play it for wannabe "IDM people" at terrible high volumes ñññññññññññññññññññññññññññññà hehehehhehe ±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã± anyway, ICBYD is awesome. but then so is the Richard D. James and so is Drukqs (my opinion) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like a large majority of his music. I must admit some of Drukqs is not so great, but at least he gave us a double CD. I usually slim it down, skip tracks, shuffle 'em around. Eh! Richard D. James album is probably hard for people to get into if they are not yet an Aphex Twin fan! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all the songs on ICBYD are all so different and still all so fucking rad! VENTOLIN totally makes that whole album! START AS YOU MEAN TO GO ON comes in @ a close 2nd! the whole entire album is the fucking shit, seriously! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Start As You Mean To Go On is awesome... I always liked it... Ventolin is starting to grow on me now... I used to hate it so much... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I got ICBYD on the weekend, and I haven't been able to take it off my stereo. It's like, "okay one more song, that's it!.....Ok and how about Ventolin too?" and so on.... Since then, I've got 6 friends into Aphex Twin, mostly with Ventolin! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's good all the way through... right now I'd pick Come On You Slags as the worst song, but even that one isn't that bad... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have not experienced any big fuss over ventolin yet :/ Im getting worried. The melodies of Avrid and Balsalm are so sweet....the melody makes those songs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's not too surprising that it would appeal to your girlfriend... there's some pretty stuff on there!!! I wish he'd go back and do some more Alberto Balsalmish tracks. Bbydyonchord doesn't match up, and the piano tracks aren't fleshed out enough. Not enough ''pretty'' stuff by RDJ anymore. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yah, those strange, electronic melodies are more appealing even to huge piano fans like her than the simple piano pieces on drukqs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Alberto Balsalm(track 10), i can almost say its my favorite Aphex Track, thats a very hard choice. Acrid avid jam(track)1 is also really good. I Care Because You Do, and Richard d. James are his strongest Albums IMO especially when you take into consideration the years some of the songs were made like on ICBYD some date back to 1992-1993. Years ahead of his time, same with RDJ-1996 its still to good to be true, I bet in a hundred years people will finally "get" his music right now it goes over most peoples heads, hes to futuristic for a lot of people. |

that wont happen at all see what will happen is people um, being influenced by him and getting popular and famous and rich beyond their wildest dreams of course wont give any thanks to RDJ. we will all know whats going on and when we tell poeple that we were into RDJ who started it all way back when they wont give a flying carcass of rotting flesh about it they'll say so what i never heard of RDJ you are lying you know nothing i know everything this music is brand spanking new no way could it have been around long ago his music probably sucked major penis too. the fact that RDJ releases so many exclusive, rare, limited and hard to find stuff will only prove their point and make us look like senile old goats. see you in the looney bin my friends! |

there's this one track, not sure which, but multiple tracks of audio are streaming through each other creating some really interesting effects. then, the track that gets slowed down at the end dissecting the sounds is awesome. i let a friend borrow the disc and finally got it back a few days ago but haven't popped it in yet. ventolin is great in its splendor...unless i've got a headache :) |

This was my first Afx album..... that was in '96, and I had a couple of preconceptions of what I thought 'techno' was.....my brain didn't know what the fuck to think....I must say, it did take me longer to get into it than any other Afx album has.... |
||||||||
|

|
|
those of you who dislike ventolin.. have you listened to the remixes? you shouldn't let the original put you off, these tracks are some of aphex' best. and the cylob mix is from heaven. (I know I've just said this in another thread, but it can't hurt repeating this :) |
||||||||
|

|
I love the album, but not as much as drukqs and SAW 85-92 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now, today, these days...the best album of the world |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it still changes for me also, at the moment i'm playing LP5, 'Clarence Park' and radiohead (Kid A & Amnesiac) much.. haven't played radiohead for a while.. funny to 'rediscover' some cd's again.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oi...I really like come on you slags...and if it weren't for the eeeeeeee then i'd listen ventolin to death. Drukqs is his worst...you get tired of the tracks after listening to them too much. RDJ is imo his best...mine is scratched to shits...can't even listen to it anymore. |

Alberto Balsalm is a song of genius. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm still a little unsure about ICBYD, and I've had it a year. Should listen to it more I think... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i care is easily richard's best and most emotional work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Definately his best album, although RDJ comes close. Alberto Balsalm is his best song. |
||||||||
|
|
