Can anyone offer me recomendations of albums/artists that sound like this particular album? I've checked out Aphex Twin's later stuff and it's not what I'm looking for. I guess I still want beats and a bit of techno in my ambient music. Tried BoC on recomendation, not what I'm after either.
So, any suggestions?
In responce to 195.92.168.171; nothing else sounds like this! A phenominal album. The closest reccomendations I could give you would be anything early by The Orb, Boards of Canada, or Kraftwerk. -- Insomniak 12:15, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Have you heard Surfing on sine Waves or Classics? 81.174.255.77 12:16, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
It's really much like the ambient work of Tangerine Dream. I guess Aphex must have been heavily influenced by them. CheesePlease NL 14:12, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Name ONE TD track anything on this album sounds remotely like. I can't wait. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.138.235.243 ( talk) 04:15, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Joyrex - The Warp record label's got a few in a similar vein. Check out LFO (Frequencies). Also, Beaumont Hannant, Autechre, LFO, Alter-ego, B12 and the Artificial Intelligence Series. Insomniak's right though, none of it really comes close to this.
Incidentally I strongly believe that in the distant future, higher civilisations will look back at this album as the only significantly meritable piece of art to have come from humans during the 2nd Millenium, thus proving that Richard James can't have actually been one of us, but was a unique form of extra-terrestrial intelligence living alone among the rest of us apes...
Which way's that joint going? Traveller palm ( talk) 17:53, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Who wrote the reception section, it's bordering on fellating Richard James, the tone is waaaaay off neutral. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.215.59.48 ( talk) 17:45, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Didgeridoo isn't that fast, it's only about 146 bpm. And I don't know if it even should be here. Also, I would disagree with calling SAW 85-92 radio-friendly. XamiXiarus 14:35, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
This is not NPOV. Anyone know enough about this album to know if it should be rewritten from a neutral standpoint, or merely deleted? Jwrosenzweig 21:14 22 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Could this also follow the highlighting convention and use complete sentences?
The line 'we are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams' actually comes from the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory film (the one with Gene Wilder, not the Jonny Depp one). The line is said by Wonka himself as a baffling and seemingly non-sequitur response to an awkward question from (I think) Mike TV during the factory tour.
It sits quite out of context with the rest of the script and comes as quite a jolt to the ears if you've listened to this album as many times as I have. I'd actually recommend any aphex twin fan watching the film again just for that line. Unless you're busy or something.
Should this go in the article?? Traveller palm ( talk) 17:28, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Oh, it's already in there. Sorry. Perhaps I should read the article before joining the discussion! Traveller palm ( talk) 17:56, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
One of these songs (sounded like Schottkey 7th Path to me) was heard on the 21/4/09 eddition of The One Show in a section about lampreys. Anyone else know of any other times when songs from this album were used in the media? Is this really significant? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.2.26.57 ( talk) 17:52, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
Why Does this redirect from Green Calx?
Conkern65 ( talk) 18:29, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
I am going to redirect the song ptolemy to the astrologer, and the song Xtal to the crystal oscillator. Both of those tracks are named after that, and if there is no explination of this in the artical, at least allow me to keep the redirects. kthnx And if anyone edits this WITHOUT explaining to me WHY it is neccicary to do so, I will undo that edit.

Was this deliberately recorded on a damaged cassette tape, or was the tape damaged sometime between recording and copies being made? — Compassionate727 ( T· C) 15:40, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
