Summary: Not among the Twins best classics, though textbook OK
Comment: The man whom I consider quite possibly the greatest electronic artist around developed many alter egos to pursue various styles amongst his amazing arsenal of personalized sonics. Polygon Window was one such project Richard James (better known as Aphex Twin) took on to help further his sound from the rough, metallic onslaughts of earlier AFX work to what would become his breakthrough in a few years with I Care Because You Do. Surfing on Sine Waves is a nice bridge, echoing some of his earlier ambient flourishes as well. By no means spectacular like some of his later work, the album still has not dated as much as I would have thought, and in between the more formulaic methodology remains a distinctive sound and textural depth that alone belong to Mr. James.

Summary: Boring
Comment: I cant say i especially like any of the songs on this album. All of them are incredibly repetitive.
If you like aphex's repetitive stuff, buy it, otherwise buy one of his better albums, like Richard D. James or Drukqs

Summary: See through the window
Comment: Don't listen to the bad hype, this album is amazing, it's become one of my favorites, Quixote proves it all, theres something very mysterious about this album it'll take you far away..

Summary: Better than the Aphex Twin "..I care because you do" and
Comment: "Richard D James Album" releases for this 'punter'. It is almost worth 4 and 1/2 stars - as is the 'Selected Ambient Works 85-92' Aphex Twin album.
As far as standout tracks go:
1) 'Polygon Window' - is a great first track, pretty laid back for RDJ
2) 'Audax Powder' - has a great jaunty vibe and is equal to the best tracks on the Aphex Twin albums mentioned above
3) 'Quoth' - was a forerunner of the driven 'punchy, syncopated beats' style perfected by Autechre and seen elsewhere in the RDJ ouevre. Great track!
5) 'Supremacy II' - another Ae precursor, this track sizzles!
6) 'UT1-dot' - another jaunty romp, with a 'spacy' development
7) untitled - insistent and 'in your face', constantly seeming to build to an unconsummated climax, brilliantly dissolving into nothingness. One of my favourite RDJ tracks and like another reviewer said, by far the best on this album
8) 'Quixote' - more spacy, spooky and chilled out, a great foil to Track 7
10) 'Redruth School' - bright, bouncy and buoyant - beautiful!
For me, this album has an 'innocence' missing in much of the later RDJ ouevre. I find a lot of his music a bit too clever, bordering on pretentious at times. There is often is a lack of an emotional core for me, which is a pity, 'cos he has a prodigious talent! 'Sine Waves' is a highpoint in Richard D James' career, along with the 'Selected Ambient...' album mentioned above.
This is an excellent album and is well worth its modest cost!

Summary: Haunted land
Comment: The music seems very haunted. Aphex's more ambient textures mixed into the heavy hitting techno terrain make this a strange listen. It doesn't really sound dated......just a bit outside of time really. Very dislocated - almost like the guy surfing out on seashore on his own at the back of the cover ( you'll notice him - he's practically circled around ).
All in all, I can't think of anyone else who would make this sort of album. It is ( without wanting to make a pun ) totally out on it's own.

Editorial Reviews:

Culled from the seminal Artificial Intelligence series, this was the debut release on Warp from Richard James, aka Aphex Twin. Surfing... sounds as refreshing today as it did almost a decade ago. This re-issue has two previously unreleased tracks 'Portreath Harbour' and 'Redruth School'. Standard jewel case. 2001 release.
