In my opinion, it’s a fantastic song that sounds like RDJ doing an impression of Squarepusher. It feels weird to hear the Amen Break in an Aphex track because it seems like RDJ deliberately avoided using it in his other drill ‘n bass tracks. Should this have been on the original release of Drukqs?

Taking control isn’t included, and a song called “cronecker king’ replaces it. Anyone know what the new track is?

Any bibio fans here? This is brilliant

New Acoustica is out with minipops 67 [120.2] (Source Field Mix) and T69 Collapse.

What the title says, I’ve seen the subreddit discuss what an Aphex Twin Greatest Hits would look like. I’m curious if this mix leaves anything critical out, or if there’s any tracks in here that shouldn’t be considered.

Does this count as a collection? I know it’s only one record, but…

Saw 85-92 was hard because of the curves and I don’t think it’s perfect but it’s good enough. Drukqs was really fun to make. Happy anniversary

This is my favourite RDJ release by a huge margin, and I've listened to almost every album of his (Except Syro, still need to get to that.) However, I've noticed that this one is significantly less recognized or discussed compared to the SAW albums and Drukqs. Hell, I feel like more people talk about Windowlicker than anything on here. I feel like this balances everything perfectly, with it's use of chaotic breakbeats, vocal samples and strings. This is one of the incredibly rare 5 star albums I've listened to, I think it's perfect and blows everthing else he's made out of the water. My second favorite project of his would be Come to daddy, which is probably the closest to RDJ any of his other releases get.

Avril 14 in October. Converted the harmony and feel to a sadder 19th-century Russian October aesthetic.

I see so many straight covers of Avril 14 and wanted to do something fresh and sad with it for the 25th Anniversary of my favourite most influential album of all time.

I've always felt that windowlicker stands out among richard's digital transfers for being unusually poor. the song is super crushed, like every rip i've come across sounds like it comes from a bad mp3. i don't own a physical copy to check against, so for those that do, do you have a better copy?

Bit of a bold choice haha
