Hey y’all, While talking with Hansel on AIM the other day, I asked him for some good music. He mentioned Aphex Twin, and decided to test it out. And by golly, it’s so awsome. My god, his work is great. You guys should definetly check him out. Some good songs are : Speed Racer DreamScape Windowlicker (Thanks Mike ;)) ---

Oh, I thought it was some sort of program to make techno like FruityLoops at first 😃 Being a techno fan, I’ll definitely check them out. My personal favorite is Embargo - Hysterie and the remix of insomnia by embargo. Awesome songs (especially the live version of Hysterie), and Embargo is simply the greatest techno artist out there in my opinion. Though that can perhaps change after having listened to those songs 🙂 ---

i remember lost making me buy the drukqs CD. I didn’t really like it at all. Most of the tracks sounded like him simply banging on pipes inside a long hallway for about 3 and a half minutes. There’s only one song (which really isn’t saying much) out of the 2CD album that i found to be somewhat decent. i’m more of a trance person. ---

I think a lot of his work is a bit too much. But I really like “Selected ambient works 85-92”. Cool stuff. ---

Trance ? Got some you should check out then: Kai Tracid - Your Own Reality Dj Stigmata - Liquid Skies Enigma - Matrix II Trance Mix (Rave) Don’t know if this could be categorized as trance too, but I really these too: Benassi Brothers ft. Sandy - Illusion Narcotic Thrust - I Like It ---

I loved the B-side of the famous single (can’t remember the name of that single though…) the one with the clocks… very cool i had never heard anything like it. ---

I love 26 Mixes for Cash (album) and Richard D. James Album was great but way to short. BTW Voets: Aphex Twin is one person 😉 We should get lost in here, he LOVES Aphex Twin. Aphex Twin and Squarepusher are my favorites though. ---

Thor, I didn’t _make_ you buy the Drukqs cd… you asked me which one i’d recommend, and I said that one, because I like pretty much all his albums and with drukqs you get more for your money since it’s 30 tracks. Sorry you were disappointed though ☹ I still love Aphex Twin though. Richard James is my hero :love: (ok, not really, but still…) Now all you Aphex Twin fans should go try out a bit of Venetian Snares 😉 😉 ---
