Aphex Twin (techno, rock, cd, genre, albums)

i'm only really familiar with some of his Warp stuff, the jungle stuff and obviously Windowlicker (agreed, ftw) etc... that old video directed by Jarvis ****er was euphoric.
just been checking his wiki entry, could somebody PLEASE explain to me in plain english what DSP (digital signal processing) actually entails? Apparently he was an innovator...

My friend has the full vinyl set

I Care Because You Do is my favourite album, Alberto Balsalm is just simply stunning.

I just downloaded Melodies from Mars. Its alright. I haven't got into to much. It might be a compilation though.

i always heard it was an unreleased soundtrack to a video game that never got made.

personaly i think the Richard D. James album is aphex twins best, and the song with the didjeridoo in it is really cool, not sure what album it's on though.

I don't own any Aphex Twin at all. A pretty poor show that needs to be rectified.

Yeah you need to sort that out.

I'd say the Come To Daddy EP is the best starting point, abrasive but in a bitesize package and has it's ambient moments too.

Mr Sensitive · 11-03-2008, 01:26 AM

Yeah I would agree with that, I'd also recommend these.

...I Care Because You Do - Incredibly multi-layered album, it's worth owning purely for Alberto Balsalm.

Richard D. James Album - The first Aphex Twin album I ever got ahold of, it's pretty short but instantly listenable.

Selected Ambient Works 85-92 - The first full-length Aphex Twin album, and it's pretty awesome. It's more downtempo than ambient, but it's very beautiful.
