APHEX TWIN NEED I SAY MORE , LOVE HIM OR HATE HIM CANT DISPUTE THE GUYS CREATIVITY AND ORIGINALITY. GOOD ALBUM WITH A FEW CLASSICS AND SOME LESSER KNOWN TRACKS , WORTH BUYING
Big fan of Aphex Twin - only recently discovered but some of his work is just mind bongling - nothing like you would normally hear. This album is one of his earliest and perhaps not as sophisticated as some of his later works. Even so some of the sounds that you hear are totally unique and whilst there is a predominance of "banging" classics there is still enough here to be of interest to DnB, dance or electronica fans. Definitel worth a listen
Upon sliding the disc into my machine i was presented with the track Digeridoo which started out with cheesy synth effects authentic to the title...and then the beats, which are to say fantastic and best enjoyed on full volume. They say that the dj has a computer set up to write tracks using the noises he makes when he sleeps like his heart and it shows in the later tracks. If you hear random noise at the beginning of a track i guarantee a pumping drumline will be iminent. It needs afew listens to wear it in and some will dismiss it, but stick with it and you'll begin to appreciate the intricate detail in all the blips and squeaks (reminds me of The Two Lone Swordsmen). Those who do will have a valuabe entry to their collection if you just accept the wierdness. To put it short, buy this or miss out!
