i havent listened to surfing on sine waves in ages, so i put it on. i remember when i bought it years ago, i thought it would always sound fresh, but today, it sounded so dated... im wondering if other aphex material i now think are timeless wont be a few years ahead. any similar experience happened to you? |

I know this isn't exactly what you asked but I can't listen to Hard Normal Daddy anymore for the very same reason. I loved that release when it came out - now I might as well throw it in the garbage. |

A lot of his early stuff sounds dated, ESPECIALLY Surfing, but that's part of the charm, for me... I'm relatively new to this stuff, it's a nice history lesson. I can't imagine the RDJ Album getting old, but it probably will... but I think it still sounds so damn fresh 6-7 years later, hella better and more varied than anything Squarepusher or BOC is putting out. |

the garbage??? bit harsh. i think everything Rich has done has only gotten better with time. |

I dont think any music sounds dated ever really, it has its place in time yknow, try leaving it on the shelf for a while more and listening to it when youd like to remember a certain part of your life, it'll almost be a trip to your life at a certain point every time you listen to it, that might help you understand what you originally liked about it more either that or listen to your stuff more intently when you first get it, maybe you never really liked sosw in the first place I dont know, but I think its pretty good (but I also think anything aphex has done is good) |

Ophecks how long have u been into Aphex then? I would have to say that 'Surfing on Sine Waves' is probably my best Aphex moment. Perhaps it does sound dated I don't know. Best stuff for me though. I remember listening to it 8 years ago to be honest electronica music has never been better. |

richard d james album and i care because you do sound most dated to me |
||||||||
|

by dated, i mean that it couldnt be released in 2002. sosw really sounds early 90s to me now. dated doesnt mean 'not good anymore' though. |

eeeh, maybe it's not a good definition i just gave... |

really, rdj album? icbyd, i can see, but not rdj. |

I heard him at Christmas 2000, but didn't really get into electronic music till a couple months into 2001. So to me, anything before Confield is ancient history to me. I think the RDJ Album sounds like it could have been released these days, though, but not ICBYD. Though that's a frickin' great album. |

all his other stuff sounds pretty fresh to me those two are really a secret to me hehe |

if anything sounds dated, its got to be polygon window. i much prefer caustic window myself anyway. :) |
||||||||

its a masterpiece. beatles are also dated and are the best (sorry for the comparison ophecks) |
||||||||
|
|

|

drukqs will outlast all |
||||||||
|

the beatles are timeless, that's why they're considered rather better than most other bands |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really do hope so :) maybe it will be considered a "masterpiece" in 20 years time. for a record or a band to gain more respect they've got to have been going quite a while, i guess |

i think the caustic window stuff sounds the most dated, and the rdj album is the most original thing he has done. but at the same time, it has spawned a shit load of imitators who are a bit second rate. but if the caustic window stuff was made with modern studio gear, it would be mental. then that would sound better in my eyes. but as it is, it is still good. my least favourite album is drukqs, purely because he's not breaking new grounds with it, just treading water i reckon. the next album proper will blow it out of the water me thinks. |

any of aphex's stuff could be released these days and still be considered utterly, it just depends if youre artsy fart or not |
||||||||

utterly... fantastic |

"if the caustic window stuff was made with modern studio gear, it would be mental. then that would sound better in my eyes. but as it is, it is still good." that is so true! :) "my least favourite album is drukqs, purely because he's not breaking new grounds with it, just treading water i reckon." give it time and a few more plays and you'll love it, trust me. it grows on you, the more you play it :) |

drukqs is awesome, i cant believe how thorough the tracks on it are |
||||||||
|

The majesty of the music matters, not the age... :| |

believe me, i've listened to drukqs maybe 20 times. not a lot by some peoples standards i know, but i know its the the best thing he's done. album of the year for 2001 by a mile though. but wheres the progression from rdj. that for me set a real benchmark, mindblowing stuff. i personally didn't download any before its release, so it was all a suprise to me. maybe i expected too much from it? afterall it did have a lot to live up to. |

sosw like good aged wine |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeah, kinda dated... I never listen to it hardly... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
drukqs didnt bring any huge innovation imo. it just showed everyone how to do these kind of tracks like a pro! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and the production is way better than rdj too. the album is just less innovative, but i cant expect that everyone of his releases will reinvent himself everytime! |
