I'd start with the new album (Syro), then Selected Ambient Works '85-92, then the Richard D. James album, then literally anything else he did. Imo, the new album's the most accessable thing he's ever put out (it's not a bad thing in this case).

This is the first single off the new album:

 

[Only On Camera]

Windowlicker, if you haven't already heard it. Just listen to Windowlicker like 10 times in a row to start out Then one of the SAW's. The first one is more dnb-type percussioned out stuff, just a lot more going on. Second one is total ambient, almost no drums and very chilling.

Album was boring jank. Sounds like a bunch of leftovers that he decided to release 14 years later.

I agree. The use of vocal samples was especially...

:avbusure:

Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is considered his masterpiece.

you should also listen to Surfing on Sine Waves, I Care Because You Do, On, and Hangable Auto Bulb.

I've still been jammin' the hell out of the new album. Track 4 is funky as hell.
