this is the version without the girl/boy single attached. so please don't discuss any of the girl/boy b-sides. they aren't part of this album, just a bonus for the US |

this was the first aphex release that got me into aphex, and electronic music for that matter. damn good stuff! 4 is claaaaaassss. love that track |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i love the crazy phat synth in courn mouth that starts at 00:41min. it's yummy |
||||||||
|

the first IDM release i ever bought, listened to. still one of my all-time favorites. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's pretty good...'4' is a fantastic tune. Though, I much prefer µ-Ziq's 'Lunatic Harness.' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'lll personally never get sick of girl/boy song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't be arsed with it. 4, Yellow Calx and Girl/Boy are great, the rest fucks around without doing anything pleasurable to my ears. My least favourite Aphex album. Except Classics. |

7/10 good album but not great. |

One of my favourite albums ever. Considering it is fairly short, it is jam packed full of quality. If I were to try and get someone into electronic music, this would be the thing to play to them. I beleive this is an album which no one can truly dislike. |

my favourite aphex release since saw 85-92 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pure masterpiece |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

changed the course of electronic music forever |

It's OK. The childish, overtly happy and sickly sweet simple melodies do get on my tits though, even if they are against insane drumbeats. It's quirky, I'll give it that. |

made my calx all yellow |

i love this album my fave track is probably Yellow Calx, i have a sample of the middle section of the track as my ringtone on my Nokia 7650 i just think that this album has a certain feel to it.....certainly different to drukQs.......i mean the mastering and eveyrthing, i dunno......to me it kinda has an analog feel to it maybe i'm wrong again anyways, i love this album 9/10 |

its a good album, dont get me wrong - but its far from being my favourite aphex release. there are some great moments - but i dont find it consistent enough - and for such a short album, thats a bit disappointing. i got into aphex some time before this album was released. i loved 'classics' + 'i care because you do' (as well as the fantastic polygon window record). the 'selected ambient works' lps were lush too, especially 'sawII' - so when the rdj album came out i was surprised that it didnt have as great an impact on me as richard's former releases. to me it represents a transition between analogue + digital. a period of experimentation with far more choppy percussion which hits as often as it misses for me. i think the directions richard james explored on this album were rendered far more convincingly on later releases - particularly drukqs. but like i said - dont get me wrong - i do like it. just not as much as his other albums. |

i like the sleeve art a lot though. the skin-collage on the back cover is great. |

this is my least favorite aphex, but it has some of his best tracks, namely 4, weakling, fingerbib, cornish acid. for me, g/b song is just ok, it sounds too melodramatic or something. logon rock witch is by far his worst track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
love it, but its very much the same mood throught the whole album and it is really more an ep I would say not just that it is short, but it also has that feel of an ep instead of an album... like much more precise ... or better said... a narrower exposure than what you expect from an album |
||||||||

Never liked it. Some good moments but it's really underwhelming. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

Corn Mouth builds up so wonderfully, the drums are like being punched in some hypnotic rhythm, and the tune is so oddly uplifting. Then what happens, it skips and smashes on the floor, only 2:30 minutes in. Disappointing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i think of the rdj lp as the us version, with the extra tracks on the end, and i still see your point. great things happen too quickly on this release. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
4, fingerbib, girlboy, weakling child, goon gumpas, yellow calx... what can i say? a bit short? the beggining of actual afx sound. 8/10. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Sorry if I'm including the Girl/Boy bonuses, but that's how I always listened to this CD, and it was the third installment I purchased of Richard. It is a quite solid release that will always hold great memories and at every new listen, I seem to think how much I thought this was really intricate and complicated stuff before, but it's not that much once I listen to it every time and again........... 9.2/10 fav. track(s) - Fingerbib/Goon Gumpas/GirlBoysong(snare rush mix) |

essential. melodically, harmonically and rhythmically sound, it has a nice DIY feel to it. i recommend this version (minus the girl/boy b-sides) for a more consistant listen. there is no filler, it's great. |
||||||||
|

I first loved it, then I got a little tired of it... like it was too pop too cartoney but listening today in the cold grey day makes me feel warm ... lots of memories come to mind... and lets be fair... this has some of the best melodies ever composed in the 20th century beautiful |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah yeah, its a weird one cos sometimes i love it but sometimes its mood is too much for me, but still, great album (15 tracks mind you) 'the beggining of actual afx sound.' *cough cough* ... hangable auto bulb? |
