Obviously that's why he called it ambient, if he just released it as a standard album it would've been trashed
with a few exceptions richards early work is pretty shit
I think more people on here would realize this if they had any sort of basis in pre90s electronic music.

Kind of, but SAW and SAW II have something special to them that you can't find in almost any other electronic music back then.

So an album has to be more innovative than others in the genre to be good? Get over yourself.

On the contrary. I am the OP and I love RDJ's music, I was just having a bit of fun. You've taken the occasion of the OP as a justification for your thing, when it's really the opposite: to listen to early electronic music is to /better appreciate RDJ for being much better/.

have you listened to his 2015 soundcloud releases that were made in the early 90s? those are a lot better than most of the songs off his official releases of the time imo

Iktf. It seems so lifeless at first, it took me a WHILE to get into it.

If you like this, listen to the Analord compilation if you havent already. Heavy acid bangers on that one. Wish he made more breakbeat though :(

most everyone who knows their electronic music respects early RDJ

RDJ has incredible rhythmic perception
