Yeah, sorry, I didn't have it on my new pc.

Album Rating: 5.0

hmmm on my copy of this cd I is the 5th song?

Anyways genius album from one of my favorite genres.

I one time went to sleep with this on and them Covenant afterwards, and I had the most fucked up dream about some horror house that made me have sex with my friend so we could survive this torture chamber. Ya.

I really would wish for this stuff in a better sound quality. Even after all these years, in good quality this album could blow a lot of stuff in the ambient house/techno scene out of the water.

I can't decide if this or autechre's tri repeate is the best techno/ambient album of all time :/

Album Rating: 3.5

Dam, this is the only aphex twin album i don't own, must buy, must buy

Album Rating: 3.5

Overrated album.



Good? Definitely.



Up there with the best ambient albums ever? Not really.

Album Rating: 3.5

It is a little overrated, But it's pretty much the most solid Electronica album ever. None of the songs are too long for me, and it's the perfect balance between Rave and IDM.



I'm very stuck between 4-4.5 on this, but Pulsewidth, Schottkey 7th Path, and Ptolemy are just amazing!!!!

Album Rating: 3.5

What do you mean most solid?



If you mean best, then hell no.



If you mean consistent, well it stays on a consistent path, but I've seen many electronic albums do likewise.



There are some really nice sounds on the album, I'll give him that, but for the most part he doesn't use them as well as he could have. As a stepping stone into the world of electronic music, Aphex Twin is great. But there is better stuff out there.

I loved this album. I listened to it while reading the Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon and for some reason, they seemed to work together really well and I've associated one with the other ever since.

The only Aphex Twin I have, I really like it.

Album Rating: 4.5

I agree with this review generally, except for one thing;



"It shows no influences or sounds like anything that came before it."



Check out Man Machine, by Kraftwerk. They were the true pioneers of electronic music. Of course, this album took it a step further, but Kraftwerk is where it all started.

so im thinkin about gettin this album but i'm afraid it will sound dated. i mean a lot of stuff that "revolutionizes" music sounds dated years later. someone enlighten me.

i think it's aged well

I FINALLY got this album. The album as a whole probably wasn't as good as I expected but Xtal may be the greatest song ever recorded. Yeah I'm just gonna throw that out there.

Album Rating: 4.0

It's well worth throwing out there... now get "Volume 2" if you don't have it already ;)

I love that album. There are some creepy fucking songs on there.

Album Rating: 4.0

Yeah from what I've heard Vol. 2 is even better than 85-92. It seems there's two groups of aphex twin fans. Those who like the simpler ambience and those who like all the frantic noise. A lot of ppl prefer something like "come to daddy" over his early stuff. I just don't get it. I guess that's why I was a bit dissapointed with squarepusher.

Album Rating: 4.0

I love "Come to Daddy" but I'll take the simple ambience over the abundance of noise found on albums like "I Care Because You Do".
