Ugh, thats terrible calling the RDJ album shotty, you're nuts, and I
usually wouldn't call someone stupid for their opinions, (though Plaid
tests my will), there is something wrong with you if you can't see the
brillance of RDJa. That is one of the penultimate records of electronica.
I don't mean to flame, its just I think you should haul ass to your cd
player and try again. And I think SAWII is good for what it is, I doubt
Aphex ever intended it to be anything than an AMBIENT work.
