SAW 85-92: Poppy?

Compared to his other releases, SAW 85-92 sounds very poppy
to me. I mean, listen to the clubby beats on Ptolemy and you
might get my drift.

It's not a bad release, but I wouldn't rate it as great,
either.

It hasn't aged gracefully, for sure, and has dubious quality
on some tracks, but it's an important look at the
development of a "braindance" genius...

Respect, ladies and gentlemen.

Sorry, it's just that...

well, it's boring. Repetitive. Sonically shallow.

But every other release is freakin' brilliant!!

I beg to differ. "sonically shallow"? expand on this. and
the quality of the music or sound is a common complaint that
i don't understand, as it just adds to the aura surrounding
this excellent album.
its as good today as it was ten years ago.

Some parts are good, some parts are GREAT, but imo it
doesn't have the qualities of ICBYD, Drukqs, and all the
others.

Still, he was only fourteen, I can't complain! =D

Sonically shallow: Too much distortion, not clear-sounding,
just shallow in production qualitites, I guess.

:(

You should be glad Funkmaster isn't here, the moderators
would barely be able to contain his rage...

I'm soory, I'm not usually a complainer, but...

I don't know, it's just an album that's lost its shine for
me, you know?

I'm really sorry.

well when he made sawI he was like 12 so he probably just
took like some tr-909 drum presets and added them to some
sketchy all black keys melody

I like the sound....but then again I'm a sucker for early
90's releases.

Besides the 'On' Single SAW 85-92 is my favorite release by
RDJ.

And like what was already said, this album was influential
to the further development of the genre.

i think the production is perfect. like zaphod said,
there's a certain aura about it.

I think SAW 85-92 is one of Aphex Twins greatest work, but
of course that is just my opinion...I dont get the same
feeling from any other album!

poppy?

Ever hear a RDJ DJ set? A-ha, Billy Ocean, Alsion Moyet....
he is the master of pop!!

step to SAW 1 and you will get owned, plain and simple. why
complain, its probably his best release besides SAW 2.

pop music...
