Richard D. James
Advantages: some great drum n bass moments Disadvantages: not up to his usual standard?
...signee to his Rephlex label), Richard D. James' third major-label album as Aphex Twin was his first to work with jungle -- though, to his credit, he had released the breakbeat EP Hangable Auto Bulb almost a year earlier. Contemporaries Orbital and Underworld were beginning to incorporate moderate use of drum'n'bass in their work as well, but this album was more extreme than virtually all jungle being made at the time. The beats are jackhammer quick ... ...is a child-like ode that gradually deteriorates into a bizarre fantasy concerning the milkman's wife. With all the Aphex Twin's curious idiosyncracies, though, Richard D. James Album is a very listenable record and a worthy follow-up to I Care Because You Do. [The American issue features the English EP "Girl/Boy."] ...

Still great classic ambient records
Advantages: Ground breaking endlessly fascinating music for gazing out of windows to Disadvantages: Not one for fans of heavy metal or people who only like songs with words etc.
...his best ever.
Unlike Selected Ambient Works one, there are hardly any beats on this - and instead most of the tracks are a series of interesting trips through the echo chamber with some beautiful drones and tones to accompany you. Yet despite the minimalist nature of the sounds here, the production means that you rarely get bored of these sounds. Also because they are so distinctive, they haven't dated at all really. Evocative of Brian Eno's work ... ...progressions build a series of thumbnail sketches. The moods conjured range from euphoric and calming through to eerie, nocturnal and in one case downright terrifying. None of the tracks have titles and instead are represtned by picutres. Really though the need for titles is rendered meaningless by the lack of lyrics. Instead, just listen to the tracks and soak in the atmosphere.
If I have one criticism of this album it's simply that it's not very ...

You probably wouldn't enjoy thisif you were on Druqks. Bad Trip ?
Advantages: Different, Interesting Listening Disadvantages: Sets a fairly odd mood, Too much filler
Druqks is in my opinion not one of the best releases from Aphex. It is very minimal and experimental, and at least 70% of the album is dark, sinister out of tune piano noises and creepy ambient sounds that just make you feel a little uneasy. 2 CDs of it is a bit much. There are a couple of good tunes on there, with a similar creepy vibe but with some nice fast drums and cool glitchy noises. I'd probably reccomend this album to die hard aphex fans, ... ...other Aphex Twin albums are slightly more accessible to everyone. A fairly interesting listen, although the good tunes don't fully make up for the amount of tracks of creepy noise. Fairly original, but definately the kind of album you would listen to at home alone - certainly not a party starter. ...

The "Miles_Gurtu" experiment
Advantages: A blend of intricate beats, varied jazzy melodies and experimental soundscapes. Disadvantages: Over-tweaking disrupts the ambience occasionally. No mainstream appeal. Some tracks don't work.
Take a Swiss-Italian ambient trance producer (Robert Miles) and blend together with an Indian percussionist (Trilok Gurtu). Add other talented musicians to the mix and allow to simmer gently, making sure you season generously with electronic sculpting and processing. The resulting album is an interesting fusion of acoustic instruments, electronic processed sounds, intricate beats, jazz and experimental soundscapes. Released in 2004, “MilesGurtu” ... ...the dream trance that he became famous for. It builds on his previous album “Organik” (released in 2001), which was his first attempt at creating an experimental sound. This album is characterised by being completely instrumental although 3 tracks feature vocal samples. Double bass, strings, guitar and rhodes performances feature frequently, creating delicate melodies whilst complex beats are generated from drums and tabla. Many tracks shift and ...
