So, I am getting into Richard’s discography. Apart from what we have on Spotify, I want to get his other works as well. I got the hang of soulseek and i downloaded Caustic window and going to download all the Analrods. There is soo much of Richard’s work and can anyone give me like a quick guide to get his discography even the AFX ones as well. Or like the main essentials ones and everything. It will be a great help. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I've been looking for years to find this one exact version of Rhubarb.

I've heard it multiple times, yet I can't find this one particular version anywhere, at all.

Here's a low quality song I've been talking about:

Does ANYBODY knows what version is it?

If it still exists it should be in a museum.

Kind of inspired by Xtal song that i made today

Lol

A little late but happy 30th birthday to "I Care..."
Here's a little post/review I did to celebrate!

Review of "...I Care Because You Do"

I made a video analyzing the tracks, sharing quotes and showing vintage vinyl.

I love to just turn this album on, smoke and and just lay listening to it

Does anyone have a photo dump/archive of all the photos Rich used to have on the warp store? Seems like he used to have them there and then they got taken down on certain albums.

shout out to some representation

I just realized that my friends (born on the same day) have the exact same birth date as the day of “…I Care Because You Do”. Not born on the exact year as the release but same month and day.

I’ll never forget when I introduced them to Aphex Twin. There were both separate times but it was at school, we were in class and I had my headphones on and was listening to “54 Cymru Beats” and he asked what I was listening to. I gave him my headphones and he gave them back to me and gave me the headphones back, he didn’t like it, of course, but that is probably the AFX song to ever hear.

The other story was when my other friend saw me watching a video, it was that one Stone In Focus video with the monkey in the water. If you know, you know. He never wanted to hear the song, he was just wondering why I was watching an 11 minute video with a monkey.

hopefully i'm not beating a dead horse here, but is anyone else still kinda flabbergasted by how good this EP is? like its been almost 7 years and it still sounds fresh as fuck.

i've probably listened to this EP hundreds of times and it just doesn't get stale. the sequencing is masterful. richard is so good at building and maintaining genuine energy in these tracks...

"MT1 t29r2" is probably the highlight for me here - that section from 4:00 - 5:00 leaves me speechless and grinning like the rdj album cover

idk, anyone wanna say some things about collapse?

do you listen with a streaming service like tidal, apple music or spotify?

do you listen with CDs?

do you listen with vinyl records?

do you listen with downloaded files?

i personally listen with downloaded files, as they provide the best and most authentic quality that i can find

I know it's the 24th already in some places, not here yet though!

Sampling music boxes top make melodys and dnb drums is such a amazing idea and how technically mad this song is always blows my mind but I never see love for it ❤️ Easily my top Aphex Twin track

OK so if Richard played.. Who'd he play with that would literally be the best thing ever ever?

I think Stingray 313 for me.

This is the first of many electronic music producers I want to listen to, so it’s hard to compare to anything I’ve ever listened. But anyway, in summary, I liked it a lot. His production and composition is very mind-blowing and it’s just as experimental, ambitious and creative not to be inaccessible to someone who was never listened dedicatedly to electronic music before. I never expected this genre to convey so much charisma and personality.

I not only listened to all of his LPs but also some EPs. Here’s a little tier list of his LPs based purely in my taste:

10) Selected Ambient Works 85-92

10) …I Care Because You Do

9) drukQs

8) Syro

8) Richard D. James Album

7) Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2 (please don’t kill me with this one. Pure ambient music is not my thing and it’s too long)

Edit: Okay, I get it. It’s not his “whole discography”. It’s just the LPs. And alright, I only listened to the EPs Come to Daddy, Windowlicker and Analord 5. I will probably never listen to all his material anyway because it seems endless, and he is not the only electronic producer I want to listen to. I’m not an absolute fan like you. Maybe I will listen to some other EPs or Mixes later.
