Aphex twin at his best!!!

I've just started getting into Aphex Twin after discovering his work recently. The song Flim stands out for me. It's an upbeat song with a cheerful mood; I find there is a slight bleakness to it (which i like) that makes it very touching. A very nice song I keep playing again and again. I could listen to it forever. The album cover matches it; very well crafted.

Big fan of Aphex Twin, just wanted to write this more as a warning (or not) to anyone thinking of buying this. iTunes has priced this album at the cost it would take to buy each song individually. As there are no album only songs, or any overall discount for buying the whole thing, I'd advise previewing the tracks and buying them as you like them. No benefit to having them all unless you love all their music or want the whole album.

Having been a fan of aphex twin for many years I have yet to hear a poor release. This certainly has not disappointed.

Every time I listen I can't help but feel total awe for the talent and technique on display. A vast contrast from selected ambient works, an absolute standout in every sense

Even on the CD case evidence of richard d james' humour shines through ( this including a guide on how to read the track listing and lyrics for the pappy mix).

It's a shame Teen_Age_Riot rated this two star and whatknot as he's named after one of my favourite Sonic Youth songs, but we can't all like the same things I suppose.

Funny Little Man is an amazing track :P no filler here at all.

Simply awesome, inspired programming and dark, dark sounds

Don't listen to the 2-star rating idiot called Teen_Riot_somethingorother; I'm not schizo or a paedophile, or whatever else he describes, and I think I have a diverse enough taste and appreciation for music to assume that this is among the greatest forms of work out there.

The title track is James's closest excursion to Pop he's ever going to get; pioneering the era in which drums began falling down stairs, and the media was frightening people out of their skins. The now infamous video is a personification of James's trademark acid-grin, and is director Chris Cunningham's seminal work. And should you have turned away when the granny was screamed at by the creature from the telly, then maybe it'll please you to know it's all a bit tongue in cheek - even the granny loved filming the thing - after all, anybody who takes this sort of thing seriously (Riot_ous_Teen take note) must be sick!

This album is both dark and beautiful. It is everything you expect from James with no filler.

Like all of James's works, this is not like any other album he's done; and, as usual, he's done it so well. Check out his back catalogue to hear the development of his body of work.

If you are not yet a fan of Aphex Twin, I urge you to give this album an unbiased listen from start to finish. Even if you are not a fan of electronica or indeed (though I despise the term) Intelligent Dance Music (IDM), then this is probably one of the best introductions to the field.

Stand-out tracks for me are: Flim, Bucephalus Bouncing Ball, Mummy Mix, IZ-US
