not sure i agree in that specific instance, but in terms of fast drums being popular at all -- IDM, DNB, Jungle as a whole stems directly from the s*** Richard was programming by hand as a preteen. this man was pioneering electronic music before he was through with puberty genius

I thought this too. I feel like JPEG really likes the song “4”

26th ani of ...I Care Because You Do

Alberto Balsalm

The goat

Daft punk were playable characters but I see your point

It’s cause of the themes they went for, like the first was like old 70’s/80’s music like chic mixed with electronic and hip hop and 2 was all poppy stuff and deadmau5 type. Would’ve been really cool if they went for more club atmosphere stuff like 50/50 electronic and hip hop

Where should I start with aphex twin?

Richard D James Album
Selected Ambient Works ‘85-‘92
Druqks

Syro, Richard D James Album, maybe look up Aphex Twin melodic mix if you wants some less heavy stuff

whats everyone fav ep

top 3 imo

Rushup Edge (his best non aphex twin alias work)
Digeridoo
Girl/Boy

haven't delved deep enough but The Tuss is a very high favorite of mine and I've always found the AfX stuff more enjoyable than aphex stuff as a whole

seems like everyone loves the tuss, i delving more into his other stuff on his alias now i want to finish his whole discography by the end of the year

afx eps usually better then aphex twin eps overall

but didgeridoo ep is top tier aphex twin some really good industrial techno

the quoth ep is a banger as well. polygon window is very underrated

polygon window stuff is next on my list to listen to

make sure you grab the bonus track version w redruth school. one of the best things he ever did imo

The Tuss and Boy/Girl also a couple bangers on Mt. Fuji 2017 even though it’s much longer than an EP lol more like a demo tape

Girl/Boy
Windowlicker
Come To Daddy (even though it’s more of a album to me)

Always forget Cheetah exists

windowlicker while cool the other two track are mid tbh

They kinda grew on me over time so yea I can see why you say that

Formula goes hard at the right moment

Drukqs slowly becoming almost my fav Aphex album now. Idk Ima sit with it for a few more days before I decide
