It's great and underrated.
Because I am a drummer (I can't stop tapping on everything) I prefer the songs with amazing drum programming. Should Drukqs still be the nest step?

afx is great. genius when he is great. annoying little arty fuck when he is terrible..
i prefer his more analogy stuff. the analogue bubblebath series is amazing. so too his analord series. as for albums. i love i care because you do and richard d james but druqks is priobably my favourite just because of its insaneness coupled with his beauty.......

yeah, druqks has his best drum programming and.. it's a very varied album, but all of it's good.

i think it's something like: 1. druqks, 2. richard d james album, 3. i care because you do, followed by various non-ambient ep's, and then finally 5. selected ambient works i, 6. selected ambient works ii.

If you register at the We ARe The Music Makers site there's an Aphex Twin forum (http://forum.watmm.com/index.php?showforum=7) which has a big list of shows you can download (see http://forum.watmm.com/index.php?showtopic=4785).

If you like that then I would indeed suggest the previous LP, I Care Because You Do. Also Selected Ambient Works Vol. 1.

Don't forget about his various aliases. As AFX, there's the recent(ish) 'Analord' series, with the 'Chosen Lords' compilation of some of the tracks. All of the 'Analord' releases are very good.

I would say one essential is the 'Surfing on Sine Waves' LP, recorded as Polygon Window.



Also...his own Rephlex abel recently released recordings by 'The Tuss'. Although The Tuss is supposedly two musicians, Brian and Karen Tregaskin, many people believe with some justification that it is another Aphex Twin alias.

Have you done the spectral analises of the second track, equation? You can see Richard's face, but I don't have a good enough program to see it.

I'll never understand why this guy gets called a genius, when he clearly isn't. The funny thing is that he would admit that he isn't himself, I'm sure.

Hmm, well, "genius" is a term thrown around way too much, and throwing "genius" at someone who just pushes buttons on sequencers may be a bit much, but who can't deny that he is a brilliant programmer and comes up with some amazing melodies ("Richard D. James Album" has some of the best melodies of all time). Plus, he is equally good at making music in any subgenre within the electronic genre.. so, yeah. He's quite great!
