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)

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 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

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.

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 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.

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?

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 ;-)

It is the highest peak aphex, in fact any electronic music, has ever reached.

There is so much emotion on ICBYD... it's the most emotionally mature album of Aphex Twin I think...

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.
