Well, I've only been into AFX since last summer, but my first album was
Classics. My 2nd's were I Care Because You Do and SAW2.
I was told by someone I should either start with Classics or Analogue
Bubblebath I, now I have both and many others, but I think maybe Classics,
I Care Because You Do or Richard D. James LP. Or maybe Selected Ambient
Works 85-92 (the 1st one). SAW2 is really 'challenging' so I wouldn't
recommend that for a first AFX experience, even if you've heard a few
tracks from it. But However, if you get SAW2, make sure you get the Warp
release, as it has one track that the Sire release doesn't have :)
