Polygon Window

Do you think its under-appreciated? I think its a lot better than many of his albums.

it's pretty great stuff. portreath harbour being my favorite

i understand... by me it is much appreciated and quite frequently...though i find it out of range to say 'better', it's souly different (imo)

but i am also not on a quoth level of indulgence ...

BAM BAM BAM BAM!

why not? ;)

i dont think its under appreciated a firm favourite of mine.

I've only heard portreath harbour (aswell as been there) out of that album. I saw it in HMV of all places but it was an extreme rip-off at £16 or something so I decided against it.

it's the best album he ever did if you ask me

Polygon Window was the first aphex release I heard. Back in 1993, i think, a friend brought round this amazing record and we just couldn't stop listening to it. Almost single-handedly, it got me into listening to and making as much electronic music as I could.

Definately right up there with his best works in my opinion.

Redruth School is one of his best tunes IMO

So eerie yet funky

Funny how the two "throwaway" tracks Richard dug up in an instant from his library to put on the SOSW reissue to make WARP happy are everyone's favourites from it :grin:

they sound very throw away.. not bad but different than the rest.

This is my favourite RDJ album (The re-release) , every second , every note is a trip that has affected me on a personal level (the way i see things and shit)

If it really is me is my second favourite RDJ track , the "hidden" piano melodies are just nostalgic and overwhelming.

(Audax Powder has been stuck in my head since i first heard the album back in 2002. , tatata-tata-tatatatata)

back then when i was in the record shop (when they still existed) and didn't really have a clue about who aphex was apart from the stuff he released on R&S, i had a huge wtf moment when i had that polygon album in my hands. written and produced by richard d. james... what? no way.... awesome moment. it's like going to the record shop today and finding that one album you didn't know about, but was already there al along with al these great tunes. nowadays, it's only about pre-ordering and downloading stuff from the internet.

so i guess what i wanted to say was that i miss the days of plowing through those racks of cd's. the album is good too.

/trainwreck

i wish i could experience seeing stuff like that at a store

Still haven't heard this one. But the alias/album title are two of my favourites of his.

Don't you facepalm at me, I'll get around to listening to it one of these days.

it's like saying you've married your favorite sex toy, but still haven't been able to find the time to actually use it. how do you friggin know it's your favorite sex toy!?

I meant I like it as far as names go. I wasn't speculating as to the quality of the music itself. There's plenty of albums I haven't heard that I like the names of.

it's really hard not to post a facepalm

i don't see a problem with that

such a strange vibe on this album, and i don't know why. it's almost like this sickening nostalgia for a place i've never been to.

i don't know.
