Although not really a newcomer to the superlative genre of IDM, having tasted my first Autechre early last year and quickly purchasing many more albums of mess ("mess" here is a very positive thing :) that easily qualify for IDM, I haven't the knowledge of Aphex Twin that seems to be a kind of axiomatic prerequisite for holding common ground from which all on the list can draw. ::Deep Breath:: So if someone will have mercy and let me know of his or her personal favorite Aphex Twin album, and let me know if there were ever produced any albums with no lyrics, I would be most grateful. I went into a music store with every intention of picking up any given A.T. album, only to see that there was one there with a Parental Advisory on it. Generally, I don't have a problem with "explicit lyrics" in particular, but with lyrics at all: I think with certain types of music lyrics tend to detract from the full experience. So if someone would be so kind, I'd like to know if the guy ever did one sans vocals or perhaps just coherent sentences/prose. Thanks in advance and be well all, [Tek] xxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx
