It would be much better if the recording quality was a bit
more clear.

It is a gorgeous song

But i feel that Kaini Industries or Olson are more
beautiful. Aphex Twin's beautiful songs are as follows (In
my opinon obviously) :

1) Heliosphan
2) Beetles
3) Girl/Boy Song
4) Alberto Balsam
5) Avril 14th
6) Btoum-Roumanda
7) (CAT 00897-AA1) Track number 8 on AB3
8) Hy a scullyas lyf a dhagrow
9) Kesson daslef
10) Z-Twig
11) Cliffs
12) Rhubarb
13) Flim
14) IZ-US
15) Lichen
16) Nannou
17) Nannou2

These are in no particular order

I love that song, the best thing off SAW, and there's onyl 3
good uns on it anyways, so that's pretty good!

Nannou2 just makes me cry. Simple as that, just so moving.
Avril 14th is so damned nostalgic of Christmas. I love it!

Indeed, Steve. Avril 14th will always, without fail, make
me picture snow falling in some northern woods area, with a
house lit up in christmas decorations.

I agree Steve

I listen to Nannou2 when im looking through my HR Giger
album, it is pure bliss

no. xtal is fine the way it is. leave SAW's quality alone.
It adds a nice haze to the music, smudging it a bit. Does
nothing to hurt it.

XLR: Definatly, I'm gonna listen to it every Christmas from
now on!

Murray (the skull from monkey island): I want it to be
played at my funeral, cos I think it would be so suiting.

YAY You recognized it Steve, and yeah i agree, but i dont
know whether to have that or like Hy a scullyas lyf a
dhagrow because that would make everyone cry, or if i wanted
everyone to be happy it would deffinatley have to be Avril
14th

i like petiatl cx hetdui. best piano piece of Drukqs in my
opinion.

Don't get me wrong, I love SAW 85-92. It's just that Xtal
isn't among my favourites on the album.

Petaitl cx hetdui is quite good. I love the piano pieces on
drukqs.

It's a beautiful song. He doesn't do stuff like that
anymore.

Sound quality is a bit spotty, yeah... but the track itself
is grrrrreat.

I couldn't imagine SAW without the sound ''deficiency''...
but I wouldn't mind a chrystal clear re-working of it,
actually...

thanks murray... I ABSOLUTELY love Xtal, but I think Tha is
maybe his best song EVER!!! I think it's just gorgeous...
I'll tell you another song which I think is just gorgeous,
and that's Omgyjya-Switch... I've listened to Drukqs so much
now that I'm not even phased at all by the crazy ass,
"annoying" parts, and can just appreciate the genious, and
beauty in the songs, and this track is one of the best on
Drukqs... however, one time I paused 54 Cymru Beats right in
the middle of the crazy ass part at the end for a few
minutes, and then played it again, and it almost scared the
shit outta me... it went from total silence, to total
insanity... it was freaky... :)
