Excellent Video

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gulik - Though I am not much of a fan of RDJ's later work, this video stands out. The song itself is fairly funny, a comical stab Aphex-style at the glut of less than intelligent big-beat fodder that has been flowing out of England for a while now.

Good track, Boring album

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gulik - Although I currently consider Autechre one of the best groups on earth, their first album 'Incunabala' (which contains the single in question) was less than stellar and has very little of the ingenuity and bizarre creativity that makes their later work...

The band's stand-out track

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gulik - Although Orbital has a large group of fans, I never really liked them too much. Their sound is very, very poppy, and hangs ambiguously between radio fodder and good electronic material.

This song is the stand-out exception... I loved it from the...

Some classics

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author gulik - AFX (better known later as Aphex Twin) has an impressive backcatalogue of strange, noisy music, and this is a short sampling of it. The title track is absolutely beautiful, and was one of the first electronic pieces I heard and liked. Awash with reverb...

The original

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gulik - Eno is the man who popularized music as wallpaper and is considered responsible for the word 'ambient' being used to describe it. Although all of Eno's Ambient albums are nice to have around as historical documents, most of them are a bit too melodic for...

A good start

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gulik - Autechre are definitely on my list of the best groups in recent memory. Amber was their second full-length and the first that I heard. It is a pleasant departure from the Casiotone-tinged cheesiness of Incunabala (their first album), but at this point...

Decent DnB and easy to find

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gulik - I carry an active distaste for arrogant 'superstar' DJs and the credit they get for playing other people's music. All that aside, Dieselboy still gets my respect for essentially tracking the evolution of drum and bass through the years. I first heard him...

One of Aphex's finest.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gulik - This was the first electronic music album I ever heard and liked, and quite honestly is singularly responsible for me being the tech-head that I am today.

Almost wholly unlike any other RDJ release, this album is multiple platters of unnamed drones,...
