No kidding. I think it's a really good album but not THE GREATEST ALBUM EVAR or even the greatest Radiohead album, which for me is In Rainbows.

You could be my unintended

Choice to live my life extended

You could be the one I'll always love

You could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitions

You could be the one I'll always love

 

I'll be there as soon as I can

But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

 

First there was the one who challenged

All my dreams and all my balance

She could never be as good as you

 

You could be my unintended

Choice to live my life extended

You should be the one I'll always love

 

I'll be there as soon as I can

But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

 

I'll be there as soon as I can

But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

 

Before you...

Aphex Twin's music is very odd and different, but some of it is pretty good.

I love the guy's music.

Nearly everything he's done has something good to offer.

 

Lately I've been going back & listening to all of the albums he's made under the various aliases he's used, such as Bradley Strider, Caustic Window, etc.

 

He also did an EP called 'Pac-Man' under the name Power Pill...every sound you hear on it except for the beats came from the Pac-Man game...how cool is that?

Sounds like it wouldn't work but it does...with marvelous results.

I'm intrigued, I hear this mentioned a lot. Which album for a newbie?

I think Radiohead owes him a huge debt.

 

I like I Care Because You Do and Selected Ambient Works 85-92.

 

I really like the track "Ptolemy" off of Selected Ambient Works 85-92

I'd go with 'Selected Ambient Works 85-92' and/or 'Richard D. James Album'.

Both are pretty accessible and good starting points.

That they do...he was a big influence on their radical change around the time of Kid A...

 

Both of those are excellent...my favorite from SAW 85-92 is "Heliosphan".

They've made no secret how massive an influence it has been.

For the record, I wasn't criticizing Radiohead in any way.

Ok, just so long as we got that straight.

I only have his newest album "drukqs" and it's great. I would get some more of his music, but I can't find any of it in stores.

Drukqs is great but I think it's uneven...the 'computer' songs are my favorites.

The prepared piano tracks are nice too, but there's some needless crap scattered throughout, IMO.

The Uplift Mofo Party Plan by the Red Hot Chili Peppers is a severely underrated album in their catalog. It might be their best actually, yet no one really knows about it since BSSM, Californication, and SA overshadow all their other music. One Hot Minute is pretty awesome too

I never could take the frat-party punk/funk of the early stuff. Just gets on my nerves too much. The breakthrough began for me with 'Mother's Milk' where the genius was starting to shine through.

Btw, the new book 'Oral/Visual History' is utterly amazing!!
