Maybe he'll do something else as good but so far, this album is the most solid. It's not really a Q, just a statement really. It really is amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as it is a compilation, i find it to be solid caus of the selection of tracks..., cleverly balanced and flowing. but the most solid album would have to be CtD i think, caus it's more like an album (even it's an ep) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's my favorite one also. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a compilation?? i disagree, though, rdj is my fav. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ICBYD is definetly a masterpiece, I never get tired of it.... well, exept for ventolin that is |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sawII maybe also the best album he made... but it's too special to be THE best btw, it was originaly set to be 4 cds!!! imagine the kantity of ambient tracks à la sawII that date of this time?!?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree (hmmm that wasn't very informative was it?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's a compilation from tracks of 93 94 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
CtD is pretty much perfect, with the exception of maybe funny little man, and even that one has its charm... I really really like SAW85-92 though, and ICBYD IS very very good... The RDJ Album is another one that's pretty much perfect... RDJ has got a load of excellent albums out that's for sure!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Acrid Avid Jamshred is such a great opening track, I love the melody that kicks in a few minutes into the track, gets me everytime |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ICBYD is really good... it feels so cohesive. I like the more laid back style, I miss tracks like The Waxen Pith and Alberto Balsalm... the crazy shit on Drukqs, I love that stuff, but I want some material resembling ICBYD... I've been listening to the RDJ Album a lot today... I forgot how damn good it is! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like ventolin (both, taked like an album) more than ICBYD i think... but i used to like it more |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like some of the mixes from the ventolin ep's, but the original just gives me a headache |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
totaly agree, waxen pith is a masterpiece, alongside acrid avid jam shred and wax the nip that's one amazing start!!! i could listen to those 3 songs in repeat for days |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just really like the range of emotions and styles. It doesn't sound contrived like 'ambient trak', 'hip hop trak', 'hard trak' etc. Just great trax. CTD is similar, like 'frequencies' it seems more honest and not just trying too hard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the first song of the remixes cd is ten times better than the original i think, that's the only real remix of ventolin in fact |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Acrid Avid Jam Shred is one of his best... and yes, that melody that comes in in the middle is so damn cool... totally caught me off guard the first time... :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
!!! WET TIP HEN AX !!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I reckon ICBYD is the best 'album'... 'RDJ' is the second most cohesive but 'Druqks' is the most rewarding |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
For me Drukqs is too contrived, it really tries to hard to impress with all the DSP tricks, juxtaposed to the 'simple' acoustic tracks that don't cut it. If I listen to the whole thing, I'm left with no real feeling. I'm not impressed,confused,delighted, dancing on the ceiling, nothing really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wet tip hen axe is fucking wicked!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
drukqs impressed me and i'm gonna have to change my mind again and say ICBYD is his best album. This will change again soon no doubt : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've been really into Start as you mean to go on lately, it might be one of the first drill n bass tracks ever, at least the first by rdj |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It is the most solid. but NOT the best! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Alberto Balsalm and Come On You Slags are my favorites off of ICBYD, but I agree with E-man, I think SAW II is the best one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love I Care Because You Do. i really do. It's his best album, and it's my favourite album. Steve: Talking of favourites...Benicio Del Toro belongs to the elite of actors. he is truly amazing. BTW, is he going to play Che Guevara? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have no idea, to be honest, your guess is as good as mine. He seems like he would fit the role nicely, appearance wise. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Mookid is another great one, it's a track I like to listen to when I'm depressed cause it always gets me in a good mood |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Words cannot describe the beauty of Mookid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like rolling down my windows at a stoplight when playing ventolin and turn it up really loud....especially if the people beside you are doing the same thing except with rap music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BZZT..Wrong..it that's the peak how do you describe..RDJ album..HAB1 and 2..Come to Daddy..Window Licker and not to mention Drukqs... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahaha Good suggestion, program! I like cruising about listening to aphex--particularly "Start as You Mean to Go On" and "Polynomial-C." Ever listen to Aphex without getting a funny face from the freaks in the next lane? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I guess below the peak... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my fave has to be saw2, its great if you put it on loop and go to sleep. but the most groundbreaking has to be rdj. when it came out, was there anything else that sounded as fresh?? now so many people are imitating that style. shocking. but my favourite by miles ;-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SAW II, CTD, ICBYD...my favs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is Fact. It is the highest peak aphex, in fact any electronic music, has ever reached. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fact?? no, its opinion |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
rdj album the most groundbreaking, maybe, but when the R&S ep's came out i can tell ya there wasn't anything as fresh and abrasive and innovative and dark and spooky and ... WTF , LONG LIVE CLASSICS |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There is so much emotion on ICBYD... it's the most emotionally mature album of Aphex Twin I think... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If I put on lay on my waterbed when Im really drunk, put on headphones on high, and listen to wax the nip, I get the sensation that I'm levetating off of my bed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gotta keep my eyes closed... it's fun shit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I loved ICBYD when I first got it, but it now seems a little stale compared to Drukqs, but there are a couple of tracks on there that would stand the test of time! Especially Wax the Nip! It is SO SO SO SO beautiful...I can't believe it hasn't been mentioned before that much. And I just picked up SAWII today. Gotta wait till Christmas to hear it though. :-/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think RDJ had fun making ICBYD. It's a very flowing album, great peices, great mood, I love it through and through. It's one of the few albums I can actually say I enjoy the whole thing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Next Heap With is easily the best song from ICBYD. Easy. ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hate Nxt Heap With!! But we both love Yellow Calx hehehe. =D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ICBYD is afx's transitional peice,.. it was caught at a time when he was trying to take his music into a new place,.. much like tri repetae |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love ICBYD. that new interview got me excited though and i think he's got to do another masterpiece. |
