Same thing sort of applies to me though I first got into Aphex through the
Ventolin EP. I never picked up the PW album until this reissue and at the
risk of being struck down by the AI gods for blasphemy I'd have to say
it's the least compelling AFX full length I've heard. I'd take
"Classics" or "SAW I", as far as early AFX, if I had to pick. The last
track is pretty good though. The Quoth EP, which I've had for years, is
more consistent (and generally harder edged) than the full length imo.
Man, it kills me when people say Aphex used to make good music and now he
just makes senseless noise.
