Why it's here

Aphex under an alias; Quoth is the hardest thing he made that decade

Surfing on Sine Waves is Aphex under an alias, and 'Quoth' is the hardest thing he made that decade. It's Polygon Window rather than Aphex Twin for a reason: colder, more mechanical, less interested in melody than in what a rhythm can do when it stops caring about comfort. It's one of the strongest entries in Warp's early run. It sits at thirty-six because it's a facet of him rather than the full range, but the facet is razor-sharp.
