ive always wondered about richraeds inconsistancy too...he has achingly
beautiful work, and then he has his ear bleeding noise tracks, then he has
just musical ideas/doodlings that arent even full fledged songs
he probaly knows hes at the point where he could record himself taking a
piss and everyone would buy it and say it was brilliant

Guess it's all a matter of opinion. I found the RDJ album to be the finest
thing he's ever done and 'Bucephalous Bouncing Ball' off of 'Come To Daddy' to
be the finest single track he's ever done.

;-) OK, that was mean. But seriously, two things about this album: (1) I find
it boring and repetitive. Not hypnotic like SAWII, just bland. (2) Does anyone
else think that Mike & Rich know they can take a piss and sell albums, and that
"knob twiddlers" is just another way of saying "knobshiners" or "wankers"?
OTOH, I think RDJ Album and Come To Daddy are his best since SAWII. So,
different strokes indeed.
D & D
I have the Richard D. James album too, but I actually like most
of this REALLY weird album. You just need to listen to it in a different
way. I have SAWII also, and I think the second cd is better than the first.
I have not heard SAWI yet, is it any good?
My opinion is that Richard D. James is one of the most talented,
original and gifted electronic musicians.

A lot of AT's recent output has reminded me of stuff put out by Severed Heads

SAWI is, imho, the 'defining' electronic album. I've never truly enjoyed
any of his other stuff as much. The Richard D James album was entertaining
as a bit of a lark (for me), but after 6-10 listens it never found its way
back into my stereo. Now, I'll be honest, I prefer my music with a bit of,
well, music in it :) and I can't deny that nobody does Aphex Twin like Aphex
Twin. Basically, it all comes down to style and preference. But I still
recommend giving SAWI a listen.

Hmm... I really like this album. It really sounds like ice cream music!
Track 5 is crap, but even in that song there's a 30 seconds part I really
enjoy. T1 is cool, T2 is amusing T3 has wicked beats and a killer chorus, T4
is inspired and "bu bu ba" is simply beautiful. I agree that the production
values are far from being excellent, but I'm really satisfied with this
album. Plus it's got the coolest sleeve I've ever seen.

Lukas Bergstrom
I'll have to....in my opinion, his best album overall, especially tracks
1-4 and 9-12. It's not his most complex work, or his most viscerally
thrilling, but the music on ICBYD just sounds unlike any other music I've
ever heard. It's like symphonic work from another planet. The vibe
ranges from cold mechanical to....well, warm mechanical, and then
completely ethereal (Next Heap With.) RDJ is a great pop record, and
SAWI defines IDM for me, but ICBYD, I think, comes closest to
demonstrating the true potential of electronic music.

I think the reason why i don't like CTD or RDJ album is that i know
that he's capable of producing tracks that i really like. I loved
ICBYD the most, and i also listen to Saw i and ii (esp ii). To see
him go dnb style experiments practically upsets me. He seems
non-commital and bored with it now.. and he wants to fuck around. I
want to like his newer stuff as much as The Waxen Pith and Tha, but
that standard is extremely high and for me to expect years of that
from him is unrealistic.
I hope he falls away from his recent leanings by slowing down the
beats, turning off the mic and taking himself seriously again.

Hey, I find it funny... not that it would actually be "intelligent" music...

Ummm... wouldn't say so --- but maybe it's just me NOT feeling pissed off...
Maybe I've got an RDJ (_not_ ต-Ziq, at least not until now) overdose... Oh

I like both, but - honestly - I think "...I Care Because You Do" is best... or

That's the video for "Come On My Selector" by Squarepusher.

looks like it is), he has even surpassed Come To Daddy. Someone give

Kind of like what Squarepusher did with his new record. He completely abandoned
his drill n bass and electronic wankery and has produced one of the most
phenomenal live instrumental records of the year (easily THE best thing I've
heard from any artist this year....it tops my other favorite record from
Electric Company, and by far Jenkinson's pinnacle work). I'm dying to hear what
other Jenkinson fans are gonna say about his new stuff. I'd love to hear Aphex
do some non-electronic stuff.

SAW II is great, but it's nothing that hasn't already been done 20+ years ago.
SAWI is a much better piece of work, IMO.
Stuff I don't particulary care for is the GAK EP, AB4, some of the stuff on 'I
Care' and alot of the Polygon Window stuff. Classics is great as is the RDJ
album, both HAB ep's and the Come To Daddy EP. Oh yeah, the Ventolin 12 track
US remix EP is incredible. Like someone else pointed out, it's like an entire
new album.

Bucephalus bouncing ball from the Come to daddy EP is BY FAR one of the
best tracks i've heard from him In a while.
As far as I'm concerned, though, the whole series of Ventolin and remixes
took the piss... Not to mention that Paradinas kicks James *seriously* in
the ass right now.

incredible), all you're left with is fairly nice and repetitous music that
sounds *dated* today. I don't think it is that revolutionnary in the first
place. I still like it, and it is a good dance record, but it's not aging
that well. SAWII is much more personal and will never sound dated to my
ears.

personally, i think a lot of richard's earlier works are pretty annoying....
the rdj album, although its not the best, is still an excellent album.
i think that 'classics' is pretty bad... i cant remember the last time i
listened to it.
the track 'ventolin' on i care because you do makes me want consume my head
to make the squeal stop.
but, even after all of that, i really cant think of any one of rdj's albums
i dont like....

i feel exactly the opposite. i think every song on the 'come to daddy' ep is
excellent, except for 'come to daddy', pappy mix.
all the other songs on the ep are among my favorite songs rdj has
released... expecially film and iz-us.
the song 'come to daddy' is completely out of character for rdj... with the
quality death-metal guitar distortion, and, although simplistic, LYRICS.
but i guess youre allowed to have your own opinion ;)

Apparently, he's interested in directing the adaptation of William

Amen. Out of all of RDJ's work, it's 'SAW1' and 'Surfing on Sine
Waves' I enjoy the most -- mainly because they sounded so fresh and
unique at the time. Sure, later RDJ albums have some great stuff on
them, but by then everyone and his dog was writing similar material.
I remember the first time I heard 'SAW1'. It was in Hatfield's
Galleria shopping mall, close to Christmas. It was the first time I'd
been in the Galleria -- and although I'd heard stories about it not
being an entirely successful venture, I wasn't prepared for just how
empty and desolate the whole place was. So there I was, walking around
this expansive mall, full of empty shops and hardly another glimpse of
a human being, and all I could hear was this gorgeous electronic music
(they used to wire up Our Price's sound system to the Galleria's
speakers), which I later learnt was the opening track, 'Xtal'. I found
my way into Our Price, saw the Aphex logo sitting on their "now
playing" plinth and snapped the bugger up there and then.
As much as I still enjoy RDJ's music, there are numerous acts who are
currently producing far superior music: Autechre/Gescom, Boards of
Canada/Hellinterface, Mira Calix, Funkstörung, Bola, Mike Fakesch,
Andre Estermann, Aemic, Electric Sheep, Farmer's Manual, etc.

agreed...those reasons are rather silly.
enjoying alot of aphex twin's work does require a sense of humor to
enjoy the times when he's not creating 'serious' pieces (or serious
track titles, etc.), but rather fooling around...so if you wanna
become an aphex fan, lighten up.

Anyone know Cunningham's full videography? All I'm aware of is:
Autechre Second Bad Vilbel
Aphex Twin Come To Daddy
Madonna Frozen
Squarepusher Come On My Selector
Leftfield Africa (Shox)
He also designed the robots that will be appearing in Stanley
Kubrick's 'AI'.

And if you wanna lighten up, eat sheeps balls. They are very healthy and
have hardly any cholesterol or fat. Or maybe you could try human balls.
They are apparently even nicer. Although they aren't common anywhere but
either in Japan, or if you mug one of the Wu-Tang-Wankers just before
lunch or dinner. They are a delicacy in Japan you know.

Brain Salad Surgery was the first album I ever bought, and it was/is
great. But over the years, I find that Trilogy has the greater staying
power: especially the title track.

whom I a big fan. The entire DG mailing list roundly chastised me. They
didn't realize that I was still subscribed. Much name-calling ensued. One of
these people actually sent a copy of my message posted to AMA to her (I
assume this, since he decided to report back to me on how she felt about my
comments and I doubt she actually reads newsgroups or cares).

Many "artists" do. For me, it's a non-issue when considering the
value of the product. Granted, I really don't think he's a genius or
anything; much of it sounds like a slightly updated Kraftwerk, but I like it
anyway.

Aphex Twin is turning into shite. As long as I have heard him, he has just
been doing his own thing. I think he is great. I actually thought that The
Richard D James Album kicked ass, and I find it more listener friendly than
some earlier stuff, not more technically complex as you said...
Also...this is Richard D James we are talking about. If he is **becoming**
inconsistent, is that not a good thing? Or should he turn into shite like
everyone else by staying the same. A lot of my friends complain that they
don't like "Come to Daddy" very much, and they are *older* fans, but I thought
it was very cool.
All I can say is...I listened to most of the Aphex Twin catalogue last month
while I was tripping. It played in my head for a week thereafter. I vaguely
remember jumping around the room and claiming that Richard D. James is god.
So maybe I'm biased...
