Was this his best work that isn't selected ambient works 85-92?

more like, better than selected ambient works 85-92

No, the Richard D. James Album is.

Nah, most of the diversity on the record comes from its interludes. The crazy acidic attack of the other tracks sounds cool and technical the first time around, but after a while you realize how kinda samey they are compared to the RDJ album which took a much more variable approach. It works much better the way Richard expected people to listen to it (listen through it at your own pace, then make a playlist of your favorite tracks.)

Definitely his best album overall.

it's his least dated work and probably his best but it's too long and all over the place, if he made it more concise it would be hands down his best.

Last minute and a half of 54 cyrmru beats is the best moment from the album objectively

Usually I just do this, where I have the songs that are ambient put in as an interlude to the next song.

>>74831530
if he took all the filler out and made it ~50 minutes with only the good songs it'd be his best, but no
and saw85-92 isn't even close to being his best work

>>74831530
no

>>74831652
I listened to that and that final part was putting my ears to hell. And I've listened to Brostep that has that power.

>it's his least dated work
It was dated on arrival.

ICBYD is objectively his best release

>>74831530
his best release along SAW II, ICBYD and 85-92
its such a genius release

probably his worst, half the tracks are just low-effort cage and satie imitations

The reason the tracks are all over the place is because he wanted people to make their own playlists out of it.
"It’s kind of like an mp3 album really. I don’t reckon that many people will do it, but the way I listen to music now is that I buy a CD, put it on the computer and just take the tracks I want anyway. I’d hope that people would to the same with this CD."

How do I into Aphex Twin beyond Windowlicker and Come to Daddy

This guy made a lot of stuff, christ

Vordhosbn is an absolute masterpiece

This guy is a fucking joke. Half of his "songs" are just speedily twisting knobs like an autist.

but then he puts out tracks like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhHkUg-QCwk

The two SAW discs are easily his most overrated works, RDJ album is probably best due to consistency and conciseness though Drukqs has higher peaks.

>>74835650
Start With cheeta ep and SAW 1

>>74835750
best on druqks

I love Drukqs but Richard D James album is better than either of those

People do not give Syro enough credit for how good it is. Not one mention of it in this thread.

>>74836227
>666x666
Woah...

>>74836389
Syro is easily his second best

85-92 is garbage
