**** I Care Because You Do by Aphex Twin – As With All His Works; You Love It or Hate It

Firstly, I like artsy fartsy music, so it should come to no surprise to the reader that I really like this cd.  Every song is weird in its own strange way.  Be prepared for some very unusual music if you should buy this cd.  Mostly, I like this though because it is music.  As far as I know, in the techno genre Aphex Twin was the original artist that tried to make music via computer that was also skillful and thought provoking, appealing to college students, and even geeks like me that don’t like any other techno artist.  Maybe there are other good techno artists by now, but Aphex is the original, and probably the best.  The reason I don’t give this 5 stars is that I don’t believe that it is timeless.  Computer technology will likely evolve and I Care Because You Do will probably become dated, in favor of better written music.  Though I love them, these songs just aren’t 5 star quality.
