I am honest surprised there wasn't a thread made about Aphex Twin despite him being one of the most talked about artists on this site and also one of the biggest artists for initiates. As well as one of the most influential artists to exist in the electronic music scene.

I think Richard's music is at that point where its solidified in the genre its apart of as being THE quintessential material you shouldn't miss out on, but by that same note, the MOST entry level commitment one could make to electronic music as a whole. With most if not all his mainline alias albums being classics to a wide arrange of people from many backgrounds to the point they think he is the originator behind anyone who sounds similar.

He's always been the eccentric enigma with a style that reflects such, which has been his appeal for years with the great girth of works that have defined people's lives in some way, though once you dig through the genres he helped elevate and find acts like Jeff Mills, Gerald Donald & James Stinson, & Mel Tanur just to name a few, the charm of his stuff withers somewhat on re-listen.
Overrated for sure, but sorta deserved when you give credit to his prolific ability and keeping people engaged with it for so long to the point he can just dump millions of old songs on soundcloud and thousands archive it in many ways with some becoming fan favorites overnight.

P.S. DrukQs is his magnum opus.

I find him very weird as an 'artist' between releasing songs under different names, he's like a one man genre but I can listen to an album one day and love it and load it up the following week/day and hate it.
I like some of the demo stuff and the countless untitled songs that have been dumped online, the joyrex demo tape, melodies from mars.
That being said I do have about 8gb worth of LPs and albums another 'artist' who I find similar is Venetian snares both release a shit tonne of work, with milk being a personal favourite.
 
I haven't listened to his recent stuff, but I was obsessed with his music for a while back when I was a kid. I think my favourite song of his is:


I also loved all the AFX stuff


I also liked what he released under the name The Tuss


Plus his Universal Indicator stuff (iirc RDJ did the Green and Red albums, and Kosmik Kommando did the others)
