I'm listening to Ageispolis right now and it's still fucking great. He could release nothing but shit for the next twenty years and it would still be balanced out by having made SAW 85-92.

What are people's faces from the Autechre Nts sessions? I started listening to 3 last night and thought some of it was really good, though maybe the length allows for a lack of focus.

I haven't fully processed it yet but I think it's great--probably their best. really texturally and harmonically lush.

can't help but think of stuff like this when I listen to it. (not the specific sounds but in terms of how you listen.)

I've only listened to bits and pieces but I think it's great. Surprisingly sparse and dubby for them, although they do have past form with the Quaristice versions.

Not just me then. I love that track more than any other, it's perfect from every angle. When was it actually made, nearer 85 or 92?

actually i've figured out the autechre stumbling block. I agree his drill and bass stuff is the worst, but if Saw II wasn't marketed as unapproachable everyone would be on it because it's a far far superior album to saw I (which i am not hating on btw) but is very much of its time and doesn't have the rough around the edges melancholy of detroit techno. it's quintessentially English (aka. white) as anything and very much unaware of what was going on in the 313. with SAW II this isn't a problem though.

One of my favourite things about this era of Aphex is how big and chunky the synths are with those booming kicks underneath. This one from the SoundCloud dump had something similar going on.

That's another of my favourites. There's that one on Analogue Bubblebath 3 that sounds like the evil younger brother too.

I reckon his best stuff overall is SAW 85-92, a bunch of tunes from the analogue bubblebath series and the early R&S EPs then just bits and pieces from the rest. There are a couple of bonus tracks from Orphaned Deejay Selek which I listen to a lot.

Brilliant. Why didn't I know that one?! Jay Denham is so underrated.

Here's prob my Aphex favorite. Stoic chicago beat, almost no breaks (thank god), bizarre detuned bassline, distant melancho-lody as usual:
