Right, feel free to shout at me and call me an idiot but -
though I do really like SAW 85-92 - it is probably my least
favourite RDJ release. Maybe its cos I'm young and didn't
appreciate it at the time it came out. Anyone got any views
on this? (ps - tracks 8 and 9 are still fucking amazing,
though!)

line!

it's very good but i don't listen to it very often, because
it makes my ears hurt.

more than ventolin, greenways trajectory, gantz graf, or any
other wicked track.

It's easy listening-AFX, but great anyway. Perfect if you
have visitors who's not really into AFX.

Back in the day, that CD didn't leave my walkman for more or
less a whole year....

These were the days when there was very little other AFX
around...

(And I still love that CD...THA is my fave but I'n still
very fond of the others..)...

Shout at you and call you an idiot? Nah, I don't think
anyone would do that here (unless you made broad, sweeping
generalizations, like Digital Messiah).

I don't like SAW 85-92 very much either. I find myself
listening to that and 'Classics' the least.

That's not to say that I don't enjoy at least a few tracks
off of SAW 85-92 though. Xtal of course, Tha, I, and there
are two more that I can't remember at the moment.

OH MY GOD BLAH BLAH BLAH YOU'RE DUMB YELL YELL

it's your opinion. if anyone yells at you, they're probably
an ass hole anyways.
i like parts of it. i don't listen to it too much, i don't
think i can even listen to all of it.

I think that SAW I is the perfect album to play for someone
who wants to get into electronic music but doesn't know
where to begin.

It's still one of the best releases of Richard's career
IMHO. Sleepy time music.

I think if you were into electronic music around the late
eighties and early ninties the album would have a lot more
relevance than if you are a post - Come To Daddy - Aphex
Twin addict :)

Hmmm, probaly my favorite album release by RDJ.

I dunno, this was one of my first listenings by afx right
after hearing On.

Does anyone know which songs came from what years? I'd
really like to know which ones are from '85 and '86. What
was he then, like fourteen or fifteen?

i thought i was the only one who didn't like this album.
everyone else i know thought it was the best. Ageispolis is
still aewsome, the 2nd aphex track i ever heard....

i think its terrible, but thats just my opinion. i think
the sounds are kinda cheazy. but, i do have to give him
credit because it was pretty amazing for when it came out.
i just don't think it can keep up with whats out now.

to daddy, drukQs and windowlicker > but not ICBYD, SAW and
AB : are lesser beings . wee kids, mainly.

SAW 85-92 is a good CD, however IMO SAW II is a GREAT CD.
there are some stand out tracks on 85-92, but as a whole it
doesn't flow as well as SAW II!

btw....tis NOT crappy! *slap* =0)

It's pretty fucking awesome. Some pretty lo-fi, old sounding
stuff at times... especially Ptolemy. But Tha and Xtal and
some other tracks sound pretty flawless and timeless.

We Are the Music Makers sucks my white ass, though. I
fucking hate it. Stupid Willy Wonka.

SAW 85-92 helps me relax, it's a fine album, but I can't say
it's a pioneering record...
