syro
probably the most complex and expertly produced acid techno record of all time
the analord series is the best thing he did overall
>>65127575
i can kind of see this (or at least, up there, its certainly meticulous) but i still feel basically nothing while listening to half the tracks on it
if it were all the quality of tracks 1 + 2 i'd love it but i basically never listen to the whole thing
>>65127630
ae. i think XMAS_EVET10 is my favorite aphex track but where's the magic on the rest of the album? drukqs is the best imo
>>65126464
analord or saw2
>>65126542
His brother was named Richard and when he was a stillborn his mother acted like it never happened and when aphex was born he took his brothers identity. Thus making them 2 twins yet only one man.
>>65126542
he had a stillborn brother, also named richard
saw 85-92 cuz i'm basic af
yea i know it's 'dated' or whatever but idgaf, those songs take me somewhere else. especially xtal, heliosphan and we are the music makers
honestly, i never really got into him outside of that. he's certainly talented tho
>>65126530
>disliked by critics
>reason it's your favourite
cah-ringe
>>65129210
>>65129211
huh, this is actually pretty sad/ sweet
>>65129165
I like Shrymoming Mix and Earth Portal Mix
>>65129210
>>65129211
>>65129280
"They expect only one of us out the gash brother"
>>65129210
Aphex said he felt guilty of taking his brothers identity, thats all
>>65129233
Same here desu
Gonna have to go with Drukqs, too. It embodies the huge, direction-less excess that largely characterises the rest of his discography, while at the same time providing the most cohesive challenge to what we think of as the traditional AFX/acid techno sound via prepared piano pieces and field recordings. And, again, Avril 14 is just the absolute loveliest.
>>65126544
probably my favorite as well, 4 is so gut
Melodies From Mars, because it's genius in its simplicity
>>65127279
isn't that the nature of idm?
