Okay here's my lame question regarding RDJ: Q: Will I most likely enjoy Selected Ambient Works 1(I think that's what it's called, the white cover with the Aphex logo in black)? I can only find it for about $30 in Canada. Should I spend that much on *one* disc, to me that's a little excessive (unless it's PWEI!) Criteria: I love Polygon Windows and Analogue Bubblebath, but everything else I've heard blows(SAW2/come to Daddy) and is much much too overrated IMHO. His remixes usually appeal to me as well. thanks-sorry to offend any RDJ hardcores. spaul spice

Its worth your $30. That album is excellent, a landmark, an icon. The music is also very well ahead of its time!!! Probably the best electronic album in history. Adrian
