4.0 out of 5 stars Unbalanced, but worthwhile, March 13, 2000

This record isn't Aphex's best, but it definitely has its moments. Some tracks that come to mind are Xtal, Green Calx, and Heliosphan, which all seem to have the same relaxing vibe. Another favorite is Tha, although it took me quite a while before I could appreciate it. The latter part of this CD was kind of a let down, mostly nondescript. SAW 85-92 showcases Aphex Twin's roots well, and is a worthwhile purchase for any Aphex fans. If you're looking for an introduction to his work however I'd suggest I Care Because You Do or the RDJ album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Music from a brilliant mind..., October 6, 1998

I once read that Richard James (Aphex Twin) never sleeps after hearing this album I belive it, like a audio documentation from the state of mind combining exhustion with euphoria. I have heard and purchased many Aphex Twin CD's and I really enjoy the 2 ambient work CD's the most. really reminds me of Brian Eno's worK from the mid to late 80's. I recomend you hit the couch and enjoy!
