Aphex Twin

Any recommendations on this guy?

I have Windowlicker & 54 Cymru Beats.....any other good ones?

Yes...

Aphex Twin (aka Richard D. James) is VERY talented albeit fucked up. lol One album you should definetly get is "I Care Because You Do" as well as "The Richard D. James" album. And the "Come to Daddy" Ep is cool too. Very cool stuff...along those lines you should check out Squarepusher (I only have one album, "Big Loada" but it's pretty damned good)

SAW II is a fav of mine. also check out his stuff under polygon window-surfing on sine waves. Supremacy II has been one of of my fav tracks since it provides such a great dark mood.

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is my definite fav. Very warm and wonderful trax, but Selected Ambient Works II again includes mostly very weird ambient IMO..

All of his stuff is amazing - I've found the best way to appreciate it though is to watch the visuals. The video for 'come to daddy' is so freakishly funny I think it was banned from MTV hahaha

"I want your soul...I will eat your soul....HUUAAAAAAA!!!!!!!"

Yep,"Come To Daddy" is hilarious.Also,check out "Two Remixes",on his own label Men.You can get them on AG.They are untitled,but the A-side is believed to be a remix of 808 State's "Flow Coma".Which means aciiiiiiid all over the please.Wicked!

And while we're discussing Squarepusher,check out some of the tracks form his newest album "Go Plastic".I swear,the fact that somebody is able to produce something like "Go!Spastic" and "Greenways Trajectory" is unbelievable.Listen for yourself,you'll see what I mean.

Thanks for the recommendations!

Aphex Twin is blocked like shit, I'm glad I could download 'Come to Daddy (Pappy Mix)' it's really aggressive and I love it!

54 Cymru Beats is my favorite, but i'm looking to download MoRe!!!
oh yeah, the Squarepusher stuff is in the que...

'Ventolin' is a really good one, and also 'Boy/Girl' the B side of Windolicker is really good as well I think it is called 'Nannou' or something similar
