My copy of SAW 85-92 doesn't sound that bad at all. I hear no crackles or anything of that sort. I don't know, I'm not really about production and it wouldn't impair or limit my ability to enjoy good music. If you could point out where and when in the song you feel that it could do for a major overhaul production wise, then would you? I just don't see it, it just sounds amazing to me.



Granted being hosted on youtube will almost certainly (and it does) fuck up the quality of the audio itself, but it sounds amazing with headphones in 320kbs.

You should get "Druqks" too. It's pretty diverse in terms of how far it stretches genre wise. Everything from avant-garde piano (ala John Cage) to Crazy IDM goodness.


This version is a bit flat compared to the album version, not even half a step down, maybe 1/8 a step?


Here's that prepared piano piece that was most certainly inspired by Cage.


And of course we have awesome tracks like this that is expected of Richard. The ending requires a pair of good headphones and cranked volume.

Druqks is OK, prefer ...I Care Because You Do and Richard D. James album however if we're talking about LPs. Druqks goes on a bit too much for me.

No, he should get Windowlicker. It's his best song.

Ah, we have a thread on him? Ricky D. James is one of my favourites, if not my absolute favourite electronic artists of all time. I'd say Burial, Four Tet and Boys Noize are the only men that can hold a candle to him, and they're mostly very different musicians in their styles, so I don't really compare them.

Fun fact: I actually got into Aphex through an internet article about easter eggs in kusic, talking about his spectograph imprint on Equation. Maybe it was my inner love for pretentious song titles and general weirdness, but I decided to check him out properly, heard some of Druckqs, and was hooked forever.

Only problem with The Flashbulb is that silly jazz stuff.
