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,
