95% of the aphex twin stuff is shit.
FTFY.
Orphans and Windowlicker were ok but most of it is just fucked up random button pressing. I definitely don't get it.

Nah, but seeing as he was so prolific even if half His stuff was shit you’d still be left with plenty of good stuff.
I saw him back in ‘93 (?) in Sheffield and as someone who dabbled in electronic music from about ‘85 I was gobsmacked, I had no idea how he was making the sounds he did.

It's funny, I was listening to this set last night and was particularly enjoying the unpredictable nature of it. Although you definitely need to be in the right mood for it and it clearly won't be for everyone.

You're just wrong and I take issue with it.
Put on selected ambient works 85-92 and listen to it.
