I've heard quite a bit about Richard D James, and i was wondering, can anyone give me a good album to introduce myself to his sound with?

You can't go wrong with the Richard D. James Album or ...I Care Because You Do .

Check out the Girl/Boy EP too

I Care Because You Do is by far and away his best album, it's leagues ahead of the Richard D. James Album.

I only have Druqks, and I'm quite happy with it..How much better are I Care... and RDJA than Druqks?

[niobium]

I've never actually heard Drukqs, which is somewhat of an anomaly, because I have heard pretty much everything else he's done. I Care Because You Do is probably his best IDM album, followed by RDJA. I still think his best is Selected Ambient Works 85-92.

Druqks is different to RDJA and ICBYD. It's alot more in the vein of Selected Ambient Works Vol. II, as in it's best to listen to the album as a whole and there aren't really anyone standout tracks.

The other two are much more about the individual songs, so it's sort of hard to compare them in that respect. I think I prefer the other two, even though Druqks is still good. I prefer Selected Ambient Vol II over it as well, for that matter.

I still think his best is Selected Ambient Works 85-92.
I stil need to get it :upset:

AIM me at nyobyum.

And yeah I agree with SAWII being about the whole rather than standout tracks. I Care Because You Do is all about the single songs.

I'd look it up, but what exactly is IDM?

[niobium]

It's kind of a bs term. Intelligent Dance Music.

Basically it's the more popular name of glitch or breakcore, at least to me. I prefer glitch.
