re. last page, nah the albums you see in response to those queries tend to be well-placed stepping stones and are too valuable as such to sniff on
genre tourist albums would be records that are overrepresented outside of their style for reasons that aren't as important or celebrated within it. Einaudi, Porter Robinson, Sewersvlt, maybe Enya, probably late game Daughters and v obviously KGLW come to mind

Early Aphex is a historically significant part of electronic music’s progression and thus I would say both his SAW projects are worth hearing and aren’t necessarily the sort of thing ‘genre tourists’ would be drawn to, at least not in 2023. Maybe I don’t understand the descriptor though.
Either way the more you dig the less impressive these early collections appear. I prefer his later works on the whole

stone in focus has a meme video with a monkey on it with nearly 10 million views and zoomers in the comments talking about how they listen to it for studying.
this is inarguably the most popular ambient album there is.

rhubarb has practically achieved meme status as well. reminds me of how funny it was on the aphex twin subreddit. lots of people on there acting like aphex twin is such an obscure underground artist that they and only a handful of other people have discovered lol

Right, because this has got no respect or traction whatsoever before the zoomers ruined everything for everyone with their scary lil memes and study playlists

"even though this is maybe the textbook definition of a genre tourist album its still got some all time great material on it."
is about as high-nosed a take as I've ever seen on this album's popularity, so excuse me for picking up a condescending attitude re. the people who put it there

"this album has tons of great tracks and I listen to it often"
I mean, that's great, but you could just as easily have said as much without insinuating that the bulk of its listenership is there for superficial reasons and you're in whatever way above that

I mean the only thing worse than idiots failing to understand my superior tastes by shitting on what I like, are those that pretend they’re on my level
You can forgive the former. The latter is simply insulting
