halisray Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 What is the verdict on this album? I am a huge fan of his ambient stuff, and some ppl tell me that this album is ambient and others say its techno? I want to look into purchasing it, but I don't want to purchase something that is garbage. With RDJ I have mixed feelings, so I want to know what you experts think of Classics, or any other compilation album or whatever.

Guest Calx Sherbet Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) not really ambient at all. AB1 kinda is though still worth buying.

Guest pscilocybin666 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 classics is probably my most listened to Lp by the phex, quite aggressive hard techno which is great for cycling around with (specialy those mescalinum utd rmxs whoa! the aliens have landed indeed.)

I want more! unfortunately, he rarely did anything like SAW II ever again. the style surfaced occasionally on later records, like On (28 mix) for example, and the drone track on AB3 for good ambient suggestions, you could just take it up in the music board. Polynomial C is excellent, but make sure you know what else you are getting into, it gets a lot more aggressive (which i'm sure you'd be okay with). the comp is just the Xylem Tube EP, Digeridoo (with both alternate tracks), the two "We Have Arrived" remixes, which i'd say are the harshest on the album next to dodeccaheedron. and then it has a track called Metapharstic and a live version of digeridoo Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/54904-classics/#findComment-1285747 Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundwave Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I have a soft spot for the old analogue sounding stuff which isn't as pretentious and overcooked as his digital era which is starting to sound a little clinched these days. Vibert played some old school Aphex in a set last year and the raw sound really cut through kinda like Clark's material now (not sure if the kick off with the sound engineer during the track had anything to do with it) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/54904-classics/#findComment-1516252 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw Vibert last week and it was all the old school tracks that kept me on the dancefloor the whole night. He played analogue bubblebath, Quoth and his LFO remix... I couldn't have been happier hearing these. Halisray: if you like this shit classics can get a hell of a lot darker, but with a few really beautiful tracks thrown. Both sides of the early Aphex rainbow. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/54904-classics/#findComment-1516652 Share on other sites More sharing options...
