I would recommend Incunabula as your next purchase because
of it's significance. It's one of those 'must haves', even
though I consider it their weakest album ;) it's Autechre
though, so their weakest is better than most people's
strongest.

I don't have the Plaid or Black Dog albums so can't comment
on them, but the Brothomstates and Polygon Window albums are
good buys. Only buy the Astrobotnia if it's cheap, it's
nothing special.

just take them all, with an order like
claro, SOSW, incunabula, bytes, astrobotnia, plaid
but they are all essential release (don't know bout plaid)
wich you must buy quickly, just buy rephlex's stuff before
warp's cos they need more money (same with planet-mu)

Trust me, Black Dog Productions is a must. It's probably my
favorite release on Warp to date.

OH YEAH, finally broke 1000 posts, and it only took me a
little over 9 months. :]

One last time, get BYTES!

You have all great choices, but there is a decision to be
made.

Brothomstates - Claro
It's a good album, glitchy beats, and a few incredible
melodies. The whole album isn't superb, but there are 2
track that stand way out in front of the rest. I would put
it in front of what else you have to choose from, but get it
none the less.

Autechre - Incunabula
This is very early Autechre, and if you are expecting some
crunchy beats and thin strings, you are on the wrong track.
This album is analog all the way. Great pads and teh
typical Tr 808 patterns running through the whole album. It
shows a more happy melodic side of Autechre, rather than the
dark mechanic side they have come to be.

Astrobotnia Part 1
This is a superb release from the otherwise known as Ovuca.
It has the breakbeats and sounds we have come to expect from
any Rephlex release, but with an added touch. He can take
beats, process them into bizzare patterns that resemble a
set of fire crackers going off, hence the first track. All
of the track bring something to enjoy, dark to beautiful
melodies, all of which are pleasureable.

Polygon Window - Surfing On Sine Waves
This album is one of my favorite of Richard D. James. It is
late 80's style, but it still give us something new and
fresh in the early millineum. Deep bass of Richard applied
filters booms along side his resy strings. It ranges from
dark ambience to piano to 90's hardcore. A must have.

I hope I helped a little bit. I would go with Surfing on
Sine Waves.
