Feel like digging up that thread that asks "what is the best 4 lp run by any artist" and seeing if SAW II -> ICBYD -> TRDJA -> C2D is in there, which is one of the most diverse sequence of 4 megaclassics I can think of. Of those, I care takes it for me because it feels still unreplicated by anyone else, the cheesy and elegiac showing you their lovely little home in a geometrically impossible house with murderous thugs bursting from the closet and drugged out zombies chained in the attic. It feels in parts more like a real rock record than any other "electronic" record I think I've heard, very organic and a bit ramshackle, then goes into full minimalist techno mode but then randomly goth sounding or sabotaging the driving rhythms by stripping out the bass or slowing the tempo a tad halfway through the song. But all of those 4 albums tower above Aphex's peers, much as I love individual tracks by Squarepusher and plenty of Autechre cds. (Yes C2D is an album not an extended play single by any reasonable measure, whatever people like Stereolab and Autechre think).

SAWII is my all time favorite album

C2D for me, although it was very hard to vote against ICBYD. C2D has higher highs (BBB, Flim.)

Should have voted Come To Daddy, overthought it and voted Hangable Auto Bulb, now regret it

I went with Syro in the end because it deserves more love.

I feel terrible about this now. How can you even compare "Flim" and "Wax the Nip"?

love The Tuss eps almost as much as drukqs. hard to choose

RDJ and C2D got robbed! RDJ in particular has seen its stock fall, that album was seen as a big leap from someone who was already worshipped.

RDJ will probably always be in my aphex top three, and sometimes it's my fave. soooo many strong memories, an attachment to it

I recently listened to RDJ album and “logon rock witch” really cracked me up for, all those “BYOOOP” slide sounds.

The Drukqs love here is a bit perplexing. I like it - well, I like a lot of it - but it wouldn't even crack my top 5, and I was always under the impression it wasn't especially well received upon release
