So you've never heard SAWII?  Wow, that was the first Aphex Twin i heard of
(though ICBYD was my first purchase, SAWII was too wierd for me to get into
without some other reason to like the guy). And i thought it was required
listening for the list. (what else would there be? all Aphex Twin albums
that you can get in the US, All Autechre albums you can get in the US, prob
some mu-ziq and squarepusher, too, eh?)

Basically, SAWII is full of beatless pads and washes that will play with
your mind if you pay too much attention, of are any bit sleep-deprived.
"Hedphuq" describes this so much better than it describes "Tamphax."

>OUCH, I like it verrrrrrrrrrry muuuuuuuch!

I can't remember which track that is, i think that's one of the two tracks
cut off the US release. Anyways, if you like one track on it, you'll
probably like all the others to some degree (although some may not be as
good). Blue Calx and Whatever the song with the windchimes are my
favorites, for personal reasons (they connect with me in a certain way due
to some personal experiences, it's not cos i think they sound better).

np: neotropic "15 levels of magnification" (album)

PS> can anybody tell by my high volume of posts today that i'm practicing
finals avoision?
