Cryptowen Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Continuing my RDJ revisiting safari Surfing on Sine Waves - it's weird how much more I like the two added in rerelease tracks than the bulk of the original material. I mean, most of it's pretty aight but clearly early work to my ears, & Portheath Harbour is like dayyyyum gurl. Almost makes me believe he actually did pick stuff at random. I Care Because You Do - I dunno, I think this is the Aphex album people tend to ignore & I can kinda see why. It's at an awkward spot between the early dreamy wandering analogue songs & his tight mid90s pop numbers. And it's the only Aphex album that feels like it has filler material to me (dude has lotsa stuff that's take it or leave it for me, but generally the stuff on the main Aphex Twin albums is all gold). The first track's awesome, Wet Tip Hen Ax is awesome, several others are solid but feel like they drag on too long. I do like what he did with strings, though. Feels very un-techno. Other things from the last week going off toppa my head Yume Nikki Soundtrack Codeine - Frigid Stars Cosmogramma You're a Woman I'm a Machine Reign in Blood Kahimi Karie Clown Core Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryptowen Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 ^Well, I don't really keep up with the discussion but my impression was people look at both SAW albums as these mystical things, & DrukQs as this standalone super-complex thing that you either hate it or think it's brilliant, & RDJ Album seems to be the one casual listeners go for because it's 30 minutes long, really catchy, & full of vocal samples (in the USA edition). I don't see people talking about ICBYD as an album as much (just individual tracks off it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murve33 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Still need to listen to Royksopp's Senior. I've heard great things. Nujabes - Metaphorical Music: 6/10: This is some fantastic, smooth, psychedelic-sounding Hip-Hop. Some of the tracks are real dullards though. Family Order - Family Order: 10/10: I'm sure I've raved about this album in this thread already, but it's amazing. Sort of a jazz-math-rock band heavy on the organ. The album is free, go download it. Made In Mexico - Guerillaton - 7/10: Pretty solid female-fronted noisy spanish inspired rock. I've always enjoyed their minimalist approach to guitar in "Yes We Can". Deerhoof - Apple O': 7/10: Good album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murve33 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 The Alps - III: Nice psychedelic rocky something-rather with one shitty saxophone drone track. 7/10 Boards of Canada - Campfire Headphase: 10/10: Would usually give this one a 9/10, but I finally have warmed up to "Tears from the compound eye". The Magnetic Fields - Get Lost: Still can't rate it, but I think I love it. His voice goes with those floaty synths so well. Gang of Four - Entertainment!: Great album. 7ish/10 Black Moth Super Rainbow - Drippers E.P.: Interesting mix of "Eating Us" era psychedelia, and some of Tobacco's older style of music (Guitar, Proto-vocoder). Alright/10 Yellow Swans - Deterioration: I was pretty stoned/drunk when I listened to this, so 10/10. Great drone. Reminds me of Merzbow's Merzzow except better.
