Where should I start of with Aphex Twin?
don't
overrated
You can start by throwing it in the trash lmao
>>66223324
this
Let the old guard die out
>>66223308
Is there something wrong with the beginning?
The Richard D. James Album.
>>66223331
>>66223326
>>66223324
Fucking faggots
Start with SAW if you like ambient otherwise go straight to RDJ album
Ignore trolls
Selected Ambient Works 85-92 for more melodic and chill. Richard D James for more experimental.
>>66223331
Who is the new guard?
>>66223394
>>66223394
Meme shit
>>66223394
Arca and OPN
And then the plebs can argue about the rest it doesn't really matter though
>>66223411
oh, you mean the guy who blantantly lifts from the "old guard"? k
We are the freshman class of /mu/ and we think that Aphex Twin sucks. It's on its way out.
>>66223432
>Arca, OPN, James Ferraro, the list could go on....
>>66223441
It wasn't funny the last time you posted it either you gigantic faggot
With their first album, like you would any other artist.
>>66223479
>>66223457
Take that fat McDonald's meme man out of that list now
>>66223331
this is such a dumb way of thinking
>>66223308
I'm not a fan of his music by any means, but his ambient stuff is actually really nice. Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is a great place to start if you want a more chill Aphex Twin.
Although after that, I don't really know. I'm not a big IDM guy.
>>66223499
OPN?
>>66223522
I'll admit I kekked
>>66223479
as if it isn't true. you can't be cool on the internet by holding on to your music and proclaiming it great forever.
>>66223589
What the fuck are you talking about? I guarantee RDJs worst project is better than whatever "new guard" shit you listen to
syro was better than garden of delete and mutant so...
>>66223623
this desu
>>66223642
>trying to state facts in the presence of memelords
Shit son that's not going to work
>>66223394
NICO JAAR
>>66223394
>SAW I
If you're into the best IDM record ever outside of boards
>RDJ
If you want to shit bricks it's too good
>SAW II
Ambient for days
>>66223308
Selected Ambient Works Volume II.
Start There.
Stop There.
The rest is all just fart noises.
>>66223877
saw 85-92 is ambient techno. just call it what it is.
>>66223457
I love arca, opn and nicolas jaar but you have to respect the founders of the genre and their influences. If you listen to that without listening to/understanding the value of aphex, boards, autechre, squarepusher, mu-ziq, etc. then you're not a real electronic fan. only a fucking poser
>>66223936
>founders of the genre
uh, what genre?
Depends on what you're into since his style varies so heavily. I'm certain there is a 'guide to aphex twin' out there.
My personal favourite is drukqs, with its drum programming and synth bananery.
I Care Because You Do and SAW I are more chilled out.
SAW II is beautiful and is best listened to without distraction.
Analord is mostly really simple analog tunes, gets better with more listens. Took me a long time to get into it, but I revisit it pretty often now.
The Tuss is a really nice side project.
Top songs:
>Meltphace 6
>Ziggomatic V17
>On
>Stone in Focus
>xmd5a
>Alberto Balsam

It's another "AFX, BoC and Autechre INVENTED electronic music" episode
>>66223989
>subgenres of post-00s electronic
pick one
>>66224033
i mean, you could have specified, cause it looked like you were saying that they invented electronic music.
in fact, i don't think any of them invented anything. they just built of of established dance genres.
>>66224071
agree to disagree <3
excuse me while I go listen to rdj and jack it
>>66224129
what genres did he invent
i guess you could maybe argue that he helped bring drill n bass (which really just built off of jungle/dnb) into the spotlight, but that subgenre hasn't been relevant since the mid-2000s. this doesn't take away from his influence, talent, or creativity, he just didn't pioneer a whole genre.
>>66223308
analord
>>66224202
He was just very ahead of the times. Didgeridoo sounds like a combo of psytrance and jungle, despite being released before those were around (Okay, about he same time as jungle started)
Surfing On Sine Waves
>>66223308
start with SAW 1
