So I picked up this CD not too long ago and, wow, this guy's insane. Half his songs make me feel like I'm going to have a heart attack (Girl/Boy Song in particular). Good stuff.
I plan on getting Selected Ambient Works, Vol. 2 sometime soon (which has a completely different feel from the Richard D. James Album, but I like it). |

Selected Ambient Works vol. 2 is one of my favourite albums of all time, seriously. Especialy Disc 2. Its the most mellow "trip" you'll ever experience.
Sloth recomended the disc on this forum, and its been a night time busride/trainride/sleep staple since. |

| HAHA, you sold me. I picked up this Richard D. James album yesterday on this reccomendation alone along with Hendrix's Band of Gypsies reissue. I must admit that Mr. Aphex Twin does some fucked up shit on that cd... I don't really even know how to classify that cd. I guess something like industrial elecronica? Whatever it is, it kicks some serious ass, and pumped me up in a big way while listening, I couldn't help but to nod my head and stomp my foot most of the way through. |

| Kev - Aphex Twin is classified, i believe, under the "IDM" genre. that stands for Intelligent Dance Music. a bit silly, if you ask me, but its there. |

Erich, thanks. I didn't know that, but it makes perfect sense to me, especially since there is very little Hip Hop that I like, and/or own... but the stuff I do, falls under the category of Intelligent Hip Hop. Some of the groups that I like, and own cds of that fall under this category would be:
Del the Funky Homosapien AKA: Deltron 3030
Kool Keith, AKA: Dr. Octagon
The Roots
Public Enemy
MF Doom
Madvillian
ect... basically, MC's and groups that have something to say, and that offer an alternative to gangsta rap |

| If you all remember, TR is a huge Aphex Twins fan. 3 or 4 years ago he would play them on TouR all the TIMe. Not as much these days, but still occasionally. |

I went to the three places that might have Selected Ambient Works, Vol. 2 and none of them did. All they had on Aphex Twin were usually just 2 CDs. It really sucks because I ordered it online and I have to wait a couple of weeks until I get it. :(
The best music is always so hard to find. Good thing we have the internet. |
