Yes SAW II is his best. For anyone who has been into Aphex from the start this is the best yes yes. Exceptionally deep. This is the number 1 ambient record of all time no question. Yes yes yes. I think it was voted the best by this site anyways. |

To me it is. It just stands out compared to the rest of his work. It's almost surreal in its sounds. DYKS might disappoint...it's nothing "Go Plastic" didn't already do, plus the live disc isn't very good. |

saw I is more alike stuff you already have saw II on the other hand, is his most unique album, beautiful ambient stuff, not much beats and drums on this one its one of my favourite rdj releases do you know squarepusher rocks |

DaWeeze, Yeah surreal is a perfect description. Nothing comes close to SAW II. |

from SAW 85-92, download Xtal at least! one of the finest RDJ tracks. :) SAW II is an album i may not play very often, but sometimes i couldn't listen to anything else than it. playing it at night; in a dark and comfortable place makes me feel like i'm in a cocoon, isolated from the everyday reality... in another world... |

tolstoyed, Oh right yeah exactly it just means which has the best front cover. Doesn't actually mean which is the best album. That vote hasn't been done yet. |

i think best rdj album poll was done numerous times, i think one of the better ones was the one by flea (i'll try and find those results) |

I believe if you asked every single Aphex fan in the world they'd say SAW II. I know my sister would anyways. |

No offence but it doesn't surprise me 'cause most people on the board are newbies. DRUKQS the most popular. Lol. Christ I haven't even listened to the whole of that record yet, thats how interested I was in it. |

there's a difference between enjoying ambience more and spastic beat-work more. I can only listen to saw2 about once a year.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it being less popular doesn't mean it is less good! and look at the , who counted the ratings people gave to the albums and not the favorite album - SAWII is in 2nd place. maybe that would mean SAWII is less popular but the ones who love it really loves it. maybe. anyway, SAWII isn't the most accessible 7\ release... |

yeah, drukqs didnt work for me at first, i actually got into it in last week-before that i never listened to it in whole now it has really grown on me, there are some wicked sounds onthere and i also like the piano pieces i could say that i like saw II and drukqs the same btw, saw II didnt grow on me from begining neither, i got into it some years after i bought it |

Different times I guess. |

saw 2 is far and away his best. hey promo, you seem to be a newbie, pointing out the newbies and such. plus that poll was done before you became a registered member. and drukqs is his second best. |

you better believe I was the one who voted for the 'On' Single. Anyway, I'm not too big on SAWII, although Cliffs is one of my favorite songs by him. I definitely prefer SAW 85-92, since it has more "going on" as oposed to being very minimal. Anyway, the choice is yours. |

if i ruled the world i'd make owning and listening this album an obligation to every citizen |
||||||||
|

I thought.. well still do that SAWII is great. I dont listen to nearly as much aphex twin now, but SAWII is good stuff |
