sometimes you just forget

sometimes you just forget how great and diverse the music
of aphex twin really is. i havn't listened to a single aphex
trax for months. i don't know why. mayby i needed to step
back from it all and look for something else. now i realize
that the music by aphex twin is something that will always
be with me. and the track "flim" is the fucking greatest
piece of art ever made. thank you.

i have listened to saw 1 regularly since i got the mp3s back
in 1998 or so.

now i had forgotten it for a little while and whoa! i gets
the vinyl! now its saw 1 all over again. actually, the same
happened with i care because you do and breakbeat eras
ultra-obscene. god bless vinyl and curse mp3. you can only
get bored of an mp3.

i think that happens when your favorite becomes your
standard... you don't listen to it as often as before.
i feel this way about aphex twin, and nine inch nails too. '

aphex twin is really diverse, that's undeniable - he changes
his style almost with each album (and sometimes changes his
style many times in a single album!)... he does great in
every style he tried imo.
but... i don't know why, sometimes i feel like aphex is
shallow, hollow, in someway.

I'm done my real heavy period of listening to Aphex, but I
always go back to him every once in a while. I took a break
from Autechre for a couple months, but can't stop listening
now... and I always find that after a break, I start
appreciating tracks that I was never into before. I never
liked Rpeg, but now it sounds great. Absence makes the heart
grow fonder, yabbadabbadoo.

Rpeg was always one of my favorite tracks. I love how the
segue plays back and forth before it kicks in and stays. And
the squirty percussion like someone squeezing spit between
his gums and cheek.
