I thought it was just "once I had a wicked child", but I can't check that right now.

that part is actually played forward at one point or another

Joyrex J5 - Oh god. This is slightly too abrasive for easy listening, and at almost 7 minutes, seems to go on for way too long. Just a steady rhythm with bubbles and snorts of acid. Though it does start to get good at 5:00, when loud, crazy beats suddenly jump out of nowhere.

I think Joyrex J5 is one of the best tracks he has ever made. I found all those sounds rather disturbing at first, but then I realised how beautiful the melody is. It's just stunning!

I thought it was just "once I had a weakling child", but I can't check that right now.

once he had a weakling child, but then he cured it

idk, imo j4 > j5

I like Cordialatron

Cordialatron is heavenly; it doesn't need to be on SAW 85-92 (on the romance tip deserves that title), but it's beautiful

R2D2 isn't getting enough love around here. It sounds beautiful, and it's one of the most interesting tracks he's ever created. If only he constructed it instead of sampling Star Wars, he could have released it on the Compilation...

R2D2 is adorable. i love that sound of effect of him wigging out, and then the quick sections where it's not even R2D2 anymore

What, or who is in your avatar Calx?

Rob Zombie

now, same question for you

romance tip, 3:02-3:52

I really don't know what it is Calx, found it somewhere, thought it was super freaky

Caustic Window Compilation

Bit of a mixed bag! A side of Aphex Twin I've never heard before.

Joyrex J4: This song is just great fun. The noises that come in at 1:05 are awesome.

AFX 114: Filler. Listenable.

Cordialatron: <3

Italic Eyeball: Sounds like something that would play at the Taffey Lewis Night Club from Blade Runner.

Pigeon Street: Great! While it lasts...

Astroblaster: Fan-fucking-tastic. Incredible. Slighty longer than it should be though.

On the Romance Tip: Love the bit @ 2min-3min. The rest is alright. Reminds me of Boards of Canada who I'm not big on.

Joyrex J5: Not my type of thing, crazy sirens.

Fantasia: Bizarre, but in a good way... I think?

HUmanoid Must Not Escape: Do not want.

Clayhill Dub: Alright... I guess.

The Garden of Linmiri: HARDCORE.

We Are the Music Makers [Hardcore Remix]: Ew.

R2D2: Ahaha... what the fuck? This is hilarious. I LOVE IT.

Selected Ambient Works 85-92

Just wow is all I have, one of my favourite albums and an album that is 'almost' perfect.

Highlights.

Xtal: Bliss.

Ageispolis: ^_^

We Are the Music Makers: "We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams."

Green Calx: Perfect, PERFECT. The acid thing, the Robocop sample! Everything melds together so well to create something so beauitful aurally that I can hardly describe it.

Ptolmey: Being a 90's kid this actually reminds me of what I presume the 80's were like. Gotta love that bassline.

Actium: What brilliant reverb on the kick. Dun dadun dada dun dadun! Has a surprising moment at the end where everything goes down a few semitones it seems but comes across as really natural.

I love how Pulsewidth/Delphium compliment one another so well.

I is my least favourite, although I do love SAWII. In fact I'm glad it isn't on II, as II does what I does far better. Heliosphan is another track that I often find too "full-on".

same. sounds like a wobble bass except without the bass, and before it even existed (at least that i know of).
