Couldn't find a thread on this made yet. I've always liked Aphex Twin but in the years I've taken to get used to his stuff, my appreciation for it has ballooned exponentially. Aphex is easily one of my favorite musicians.
So what's your favorite record?
Mine are probably SAW, SAWII, and maybe Druqks.
I'm listening to Metal Grating (SAWII disk 2 track 3) right now and it's blowing my mind.

SAWI, SAWII, Richard D. James album and ICBYD
listening to Alberto Balsalm at the moment, lovely track!
on a side note: what's your favourite SAWII track, turquoise? For me it's cliffs, tree, blue calx and white blur 2...

Funny, beyong '4', 'boy/girl' and 'vordhosbn', I only really like his ambient or piano tracks. I wish he'd make more. Parallel stripes used to be my lullaby track.

I like RDJ's music so much that picking just one of his albums would be like choosing my favorite child. Lately, I've been digging I Care Because You Do, and other stuff he was doing around that time, like the Ventolin EPs and Analogue Bubblebath 5. I listen to him so much I feel like revisiting each part of his discography is sort of like rotating tires so I don't wear it out. Luckily, he's got tons of stuff.

Windowlicker - Aphex Twin's equivalent to Dayvan Cowboy!

Richard D. James Album is awesome. 4 and Girl/Boy Song pulled me in and one-by-one, every other song grew on me. I really like everything on it... Except sometimes I skip Beetles.
