joshuatxuk Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 List here, included all RDJ aliases, not just Aphex Twin tracks. Some unreleased live track inclusions would of been cool, but overall I like this list simply because it reminds me of the diversity of his discography. Discuss.

beerwolf Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Even though I despise 'the best of all time' lists as sheer puke. I'm just happy to read about Aphex Twin on another website than this. Okay this top 50 is way off my top 50, AB1 I'd have top 3, but apart from that... I couldn't care less on this journo's opinion. But I'm glad none the less just to see his name and some words on him.

Yeah! - note my thread sub-title. "Fingerbib" would of been nice too. I mean, that's not there but "Clayhill Dub" is? On 10/9/2013 at 8:54 PM, Herr Jan said: "He made dub techno before Basic Channel" What? Yeah that one was a bit dubious - c'mon FACT that's some Rolling Stone level nonsense. Part of the problem with general hype of Aphex Twin is that many casual fans forget that RDJ himself was very much influenced by techno and house innovators before he began his progressive input into those genres. Many of those aliases are indicative of that, especially his work as Bradley Beat and Universal Indicator, which are in context of similar records from that era are pretty average (though interesting). Let's not forget Tom Middleton and Mike Dred help him get released early on. Even the legends have to start somewhere, and that's hard for most to swallow since RDJ's rep is stepped in mythology.

beerwolf Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I'm always rather pleased not too see my favorite tracks in 'top of the pops' list. No To Cure a Weakling Child (Contour Regard)? Shweet. No Ziggomatic 17? Result. No Stepping Filter 101? Thank Satan. FACTMag always have a few scoops on BOC and Aphex. If I remember correctly didin't they do the same sort of thing a few months before Warp announced the new BOC album?

Granted I'm not paying full attention, but nice to see them not being that FACT still does in their "news" content, but unlike Pitchfork they still balance it out with focused, non-payola reviews and still have decent interviews, features, lists, etc. RA and XLR8R lack that gossip crap for the most part but they can also be a bit spammy, especially the latter, with their choice of hyped tracks and musicians.
