My music tastes are eclectic but I've never been able to get into a bit of drum and base. I like a fair bit of electro and EDM and thought I'd take a shot at this after a bit of research and a liking for a few of Mr Twin's better known tracks.
I was more than pleasantly surprised by this and love the variety in the songs. Can't see me ever being big on d'n'b but man I am big on this! No 10 minute trials here, just excellent 3, 4 & 5 minute ditties of high quality.
Get it regardless of your musical preferences. It's an album that transcends any 'tribal' leanings you have. Classic in my opinion.
From stuttering stops to blistering beats and flashes of noises ranging from synthesiers to recorded voices Aphex Twins 1996 effort, "Richard D. James Album", is an album that will keep you listening through and through no matter how many times you have listened to it, and depending on your musical tastes may take some getting used before you fully appreaciate the genius of the music on here. Prime examples of some of the insane music you hear on this album would be on tracks such as, "Corn Mouth", "4", etc. This album still holds up today because of the fact that it was and is ahead of its time in the realm of the electrnoica music genre and paving the way for artists such as, Radiohead to fully incorporate the use of combining electrnoic music elements with standard musical instruments. So what are you waiting for if you want to hear some of the most insane greatest electrnoic music around than this album if for you.
Aus meiner Sicht klingt das Album wie ein kleiner vorgespulter Mozart mit Herzrythmusstörungen in einem Schlagzeug-Flipper! Klingt komisch, ist aber so! Genial gestört und perfekt zum Meditieren im Quantenschaum...
Ich habe mir die CD gekauft weil ich das Album "I care Because you do" habe und ich mir Ähnliches von dem Album erwartete. Ist nicht so der Burner naja vieleicht hatte ich noch nicht die richtige Muse fürs hören oder ich verstehe es nicht. Schlecht ist es nicht, hey wir sprechen hier von APHEX TWIN aber so richtig hab ich das Album nicht kapiert. Vieleicht Sie ?
