Awesome / Aphex Twin

• Syro winning the Best Dance/Electronic Album award at the 2015 Grammys, which subsequently brought Aphex Twin back into mainstream buzz.
  • The fact that the album came out after 13 years and has been seen as Richard's best work yet, proving that he hasn't gone down in quality; in fact, quite the opposite.
• If Aphex wasn't in Archive Panic mode before, he sure is now, when he unleashed over 150 unreleased tracks on Soundcloud (under the name user48736353001) over the course of a couple months. Talk about making up for lost time.
• "Come to Daddy" was one of the few music videos seen as being worthy of making the list of The 100 Greatest Scary Moments. Even better? It placed #35.
  • The screaming section is arguably the most intense moment in electronic music history, and it's bound to send chills rocketing down your spine.
• "Windowlicker" may be one of Aphex Twin's crowning moments of awesome and a moment establishing him as a legend of electronic music. Every part of that song is engineered to perfection, its being commercial-sounding yet still retaining Aphex's weirdness is done to brilliance, and the bass section at the end. Oh God, that bass section.
• The sheer impact that SAW 85-92 had on the electronic music genre. Imagine putting the album on in 1992, listening to "Xtal" for the first time, and hearing sounds that have never before been heard...
