I picked up ICBYD today... never was a big fan but I have to admit there are some nice tracks on here. Alberto Balsalm, yes that goes without saying, I'd already heard that one, and Come On You Slags! is great. I think most of the reason I've avoided his stuff is his catalogue is too large and intimidating. God help me, I can see where a big shunk of money is going to be going... |
||||||||

|
I have a load of aphex cds, and most of em I find boring... I just don't enjoy his music anymore... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why not grab the Selected Ambient Works 85-92? Great album as well as SAW Vol 2. I hold those in high regard. Especially SAW2 , there is just something about it! Or maybe AFX- Analogue Bubblebath 3? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just can't get into SAWII overall... some of it is brilliant, but most is just crap imo... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
even the almighty SAW85-92 is boring me as of late... :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, SAW 85-92 is next on my list. I love Delphium. Funkmaster - stop peeing my fuck. I'm just getting into this stuff. :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you mean you haven't heard all this stuff? I just assumed you meant you had the mp3's, but had never bought anything... sorry man! APHEX TWIN RULES!!!! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It is easy to get tired of music. Just space out how often you listen to it. That way when you have a "gem" CD it will shine forever! :D Delphium rocks for the record! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but I haven't listened to Aphex in months, and I still don't have a desire to listen... :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, no, I've heard I guess a representative sampling of his work - however most people who rip MP3s are asshats who don't know what they're doing so hearing the CD for the first time can be a real revelation. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, Drukqs is still pretty awesome... I really should listen to that one... that's probably his best imo... Windowlicker is good, as is Come to Daddy... that's about it for me now... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
funk do you have a mullet now? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fleetmouse you're in a great state. It's amazing when you first start listening and hearing all his different styles. Funk, I too and bored with most of his stuff nowadays. Listen to the stuff you didn't listen to much. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fleetmouse (aka Fred McGriff) WAILS!!! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
All Aphex stuff is brilliant imo... Except, if you take my advice, leave the Analogue Bubblebath series till last....they're totally overrated and really hard to find for no reason sometimes. But the rest are awesome! Even Classics! :) |
||||||||

I thought this thread was about posting our first aphex purchase... mine was drukqs I find aphex to be a genious (yet) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mine was windowlicker e.p. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
analogue bubblebath - definitely overrated. why do people go on about it so much, maybe when it was released it was original, exciting etc.. but hearing it now, after windowlicker, drukqs, come to daddy - its just shitty old techno. my first aphex purchase was drukqs, totally turned me on to him i can't understand why people say its crap or misguided or whatever....its AMAZING!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love all the analogue bubblebaths that I got... specially number 3, but 1 is a classic and 4 is great too... really harsh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just for the trouble you could go to to get them they seem a bit of a disappointment. polygon window is similar but much better especially the first six tracks or so |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
polygon window was one of my last aphex purchases. it has some beautiful moments. and some ruckin' techno a la quoth. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i prefer the untitled one, and the track after it (i forget the name right now). quoth is cool but a tad boring for my liking |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the very last track on it is glorious |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true of most aphex albums! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SAW2 is the greatest. Alien ambience at its best. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am developing a physical craving for this album. It's scary. I want to cook it in a spoon and inject it. And all along I thought Aphex was a primitive form of electronic music, like an australopithecine - boy was I wrong - he's tasty! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't have many of his albums. the ones i do have arre enough. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Which ones are those? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SAW 1, SAW 2 (only the firrst cunt disk) and ICBC. i have had otherrs on my comp as MP3 in the past. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ICBC haha wtf. ICBYD |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
analogue bubblebath series has some brilliant moments- part 5 is fokin awesome. my first aphex release-> ICBYD and Donkey Rhubarb EP. Alberto Balsalm- amazing, amazing, amazing... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
me too, mine were come to daddy ep and richard d james album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the first i bought was saw 85-92 in 1994 i think, its still my most listened to aphex. i have all his albums, and a few rarities as well, all on lovely vinyl. to be honest, i'm quite suprised at the opinion that people are getting bored of it. maybe you have listened to it all too much? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just put drukqs on for the first time in about 6 months. have only listened to it about 5 times since i got it. people seem to hold it in high esteem, but i have never thought that much of this one so i haven't really listened to it. maybe i will click with it soon??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its important that you get the 12 trk ventolin EP next, then Hangable Auto Bulb 1 and 2 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cool - I think I saw those in the cutout bin at HMV. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
NEVER POST AGAIN!!!!!!! you'll be satan forever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

aphex was a real pioneer back in the day...so all the older stuff sound really dated now. a lot of his polygon, analogue, dice era stuff influenced much of modern-day techno. now he's just another wierdo (ae,u-ziq, squarepusher...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

my first aphex disc was richard d james album. i have to say that, while i still enjoy his music now and then, i have sort of burnt myself out on it. i had a chance to buy Girl-Boy EP a while back, but it's sort of pointless since i have the american version of RDJ album. i agree with neut that much of afx's earlier stuff was top-notch. though i do enjoy hangable auto bulb and rdj album myself. :-) don't worry richard. i still love you! ...not like he cares though :-D My aphex collection: SAW 85-92 (import version before reissue) Classics (ditto) Caustic Window - Compilation Polygon Window - Surfing on Sine Waves Analogue Bubblebath 1, 3 & 4 SAW II On EP Ventolin EP and Ventolin Remixes EP 51/13 singles collection (just because i can't find donkey rhubarb) Mike n' Rich I Care Because You Do Richard D James Album Come to Daddy Windowlicker 2 Remixes by AFX (cd AND vinyl) Drukqs and no, i haven't bought smojphace or 26 mixes yet - i'm broke. :-( |

too late. |

|
|
saw2 is a great release to own for all the nifty artwork. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Interesting... so many people are telling me they're burnt out on Aphex. I will have to listen to it sparingly. :-) Just a few more milligrams for tonight :: dopey warm haze :: |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I love almost anything hes done... I must be stupid |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i find it bizarre people can tire of him because there is so much variance in his work |
||||||||
|
|

so true |
