I know who they are, only because of the very disturbing album covers they have. I worked at a CD/DVD distribution center and remember picking their CD's on occasion.

Yeah, I know them. I'm sitting here lol'ing to myself because there was almost an exact replica thread about Daft Punk a week or so ago. You get points for at least being a tiny bit more obscure. I think I'm going to make a thread about Pendulum or something next.

Got SAWI/II, RDJ Album, Druqks, couple Analords and a heap of old Caustic Window and AFX tracks off Warp in the early 90's.

I know Richard David James. I'm not that into electronica. Chris Cunningham's video for Come to Daddy is one of the all time greatest videos. I think any one with a slight interest in film-making would know Come to Daddy. So yeah, I know Aphex Twin, mostly from his freaking disturbing videos, but I like the music from those videos.

I've heard of them, but never listened to them. I like some electronica, but I'm kinda picky about it.

Yeah, again this is largely due to their incredible videos...

I'll even treat you to one...


It will blow you away...

PS

Anyone listen to Lounge, Down Tempo or Trip-Hop?

Artists like Massive Attack, Portishead, Telepopmusik etc? Gimme some good tracks to listen to as I really wanna hear some more of the good stuff. Thanks...

I'm sad to admit that I only know about Aphex Twin because of a thread on 4chan. Yeah...

I don't listen to much electronica, because I never get recommendations.

Well, this recommendation scares me. I'm not into soul eating.

Ha ha, yeah it's properly messed up lol. Aphex Twin are a very experimental group. It doesn't always sound pretty but you bet you're arse it has impact... Their videos used to be banned from most tv stations. Even now it can only be shown past watershed I believe...

Try these if you are still interested...



Not strictly electronica but darn good if I do say so myself...

You'd be lucky to find a young person in the UK who hasn't heard of Pendulum... Who are brutally good live by the way... This comes from someone who doesn't particularly enjoy drum and bass...

Aphex Twin is one man. He is the face on all the characters. Stop saying he is a group. Please.

Fewer acoustics? By that do you mean music with no instrumentation?

Try these for size...


An absolute classic right there...
