Which on is his best? Come to daddy EP?
The reviews generally say that CTD isn't at all his best, and that both "The Richard D James Album" and "I care because you do" are better... True? |

| I have all 3 and then others as well. I'd say RDM self titled album is awesomeeeeeee, same with I care because you do. The come to daddy EP is also very good, just doesn't have as many tracks on it as the others. Get them all...I still have to get into his ambient stuff...gahhhhh. |

| All three you mentioned are great so i would buy them all (all of them are available in Finland for reasonable prices nowadays so go for it!) but i gotta go with "Selected Ambient Works '85-'92". That one is in my opinion his best album to date; pure bliss if you like melancholic ambient soundscapes and soothing melodies. I wish it would get remastered some day, the sound levels and dynamics are quite low at today's standards. "Selected Ambient Works pt. II" again is not as good as the previous one, it's cold, dark and deep. Don't like it nearly as much. |

| I've got all of his junks except druqs (sp?). Come to daddy is a good starting point, but I care because you do is probably my favorite after that. Both ambient cds are great! I just wish autechre was still doing more ambient stuff too... I don't dig on the messed up bleepiness. Where's the tri repete ++ stuff? I know it "progression" and whatnot but pfff. |

| Richard D. James Album is probably his all-around best work, however, I'd have to say Drukqs is my favorite. Nice variety, with some absolutely amazing tracks like St. Saint Michel Mix + Saint Michaels Mount and 54 Cymru Beats. Come To Daddy EP is also really good, Come To Daddy is one of my favorite by him, along with Film. |
