fluffymushi Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Ok i c the point. I am talking in terms of music only, i have it in mp3s anyways. (BTW SAW 2 is better IMO) compared the flacs of the remaster to mp3's of the original but there doesn't seem to be a really noticable difference, except that the remaster has a slightly more crisp sound perhaps. (btw 2 is too different to compare with imo; 1 is more of an ethereal atmospherical nature; where'as 2 is more focused on pulling you through diverse hallucinatory soundscapes.) Quote
psytones Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Sweet In that case I better get my self da number two'o Quote
pedro Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 ^If anything the man was hugly famuse for being early on making drill'n'bass music or braindance / IDM music. He made his own sound sources, his own synths. Are you claiming that CtD was a piss-take on the Firestarter/Breath sound of Prodigy? Or you personally think so.. Or what do you mean? It was well known. Richard James decided to do make fun of the Firestarter track which was quite popular at the time. Brilliant! Quote
psytones Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 funny. Well, he did make a track that in a sense chewed Firestarters head right off with fear and terror Aphex Twin - Firestarter Is Ma Bitch Daddy Come Quote
murphythecat Posted April 26, 2009 Author Posted April 26, 2009 THANKS everyone, but i think i dont really love aphex twin in fact, ive been listening to a lot youv recommend, and i didnt even find one album i really want to listen again and again, its special, but nothinglovely, or melodious, i dont know. NOT my cup of TEA! Quote
Snapinho Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 No doubt I CARE BEACUSE YOU DO and RICHARD D. JAMES ALBUM - most trippy, but also CLASSICS, SELECTED AMBIENT WORKS I & II are essential as well. His recent AFX - ANALORD series is incredible piece of work, almost beating all of the ones I've mentioned. He is electronic genius, and completely non comparable to Autechre, since they are both highly prolific artists in IDM scene, the ones that defined the genre, so none of them are actually better than another, only as good. What he said. I was just about to post this, but the above words render my comment useless. Disregard what I said. Oh wait, don't do that, add a PLUS1 to Seraph's word. Also, hi Seraph. Quote
rino Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I recently went over some AFX related releases I own... Due to my musical preferences, first and foremost, I would strongly suggest: Classics (1995) (R & S Records) this is in my ears the best music RDJ ever recorded; so raw, powerful and tongue in cheek. Warehouse mayhem! http://www.discogs.com/Aphex-Twin-The-Classics/release/2702 I also quite enjoy the following two EPs on Warp: On EP (1993) (Warp Records) http://www.discogs.com/Aphex-Twin-On/release/3664 Donkey Rhubarb EP (1995) (Warp Records) http://www.discogs.com/Aphex-Twin-Donkey-Rhubarb/release/3663 Both EPs are a very nice mix of phenomenal melody work and, at times, overdriven and distorted drum loops. and naturally, the insane party anthem recorded under his Polygon Window moniker Quoth (1993) (Warp Records) http://www.discogs.com/Polygon-Window-Quoth/release/2510 Overall, I am not a big fan though. I really like his old tunes, but the stuff most people seem to dig and recommend is not along the lines of what I like at all. Quote
needle ninja Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Has anyone mentioned the 'Power Pill' EP ? Its probably only -pick your favorite of the bunch, toss the rest- but still great stuff. and his unreleased stuff... Quote
fluffymushi Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 analord! or the ambient albums! analog makes my brain hurt. in a good way. Quote
murphythecat Posted November 15, 2009 Author Posted November 15, 2009 well 6 month after, i can really say that aphex twin is now one of my favorite artist. I love the aggressiveness, the raw energy. I know that it may seem not as clean as psychadelic, but i love it. actually, it took me a lot of listen to get into it. anyways, my favorite album is: I Care Because You Do saw2 reworked some of the analord some of the ambient works. but i never heard richard d james album.

rino Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Favorite AFX tune evargh is Digeridoo. Period. There was nobody anywhere releasing anything anyhow that in any way even remotely hinted at sounding like that tune. Closely followed by Quoth, the remixes of We Have Arrived, Flaphead and Polynominal-C. Quote
Malevol3nt Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Has anyone mentioned the 'Power Pill' EP ? Its probably only -pick your favorite of the bunch, toss the rest- but still great stuff. Oh yeah, a friend introduced me to that track a couple years ago. Awesome stuff. And there's a couple of versions of it afaik. My personal all-time favourite has to be Polynomial C. A very simple tune that I just adore. Quote

Redington Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Anyone listen to the Rushup Edge album he release under the alias of The Tuss? I think it's a pretty good album. Quote
