Untitled and Untitled are pretty good, amongst his best work. My least favourite track is Untitled, i mean what the fuck was he thinking.

I hear ya bro, I found out that it is great for reading dark or morbid books. Really gives you the creeps at some moments.

The ambient tracks sort of break the flow

LICHEN Z TWIG BLUE CALX

I found serveral shops on ebay and on the www that are about to sell a vinyl repress in large amounts

And probably it will cost in larger amount of money. And I can't even buy it......my dream is to have an Aphex vinyl..

Smojphace is pretty cheap. Technically it's not Aphex, but whatever

Am I the only one who thinks Smojphace is some of his best work? Those seething, throat blistering noise tracks...

it's pressed from the CD version. Which I normally wouldn't have a big problem with, but it means you don't get Stone in Focus.

Run the Place Red is in my top 5 aphex tracks. I don't really like the noise tho. From what I know, it's just data

It really isn't. It's meant to sound a lot like raw data converted to audio, but it's all been specially constructed to sound as powerful as possible. Listen to it and you'll see the intention behind it.

this sounds like a background you made up to feel less awkward about liking a data file just because it's aphex twin.

i'm not saying you're wrong, but eh.

Never actually listened to it but if memory serves only the last track is a data file, & the other two are sort of a one-off experiment with noise music.
