Richard D. James Album

Ticking genres off the list (jazz, rap, pop, ambient etc) here’s some ‘techno’. You could call it that or any multitude of words. I will file it under rad…

Aphex Twin – Richard D. James Album

First time I listened to this album was at the beach on a shitty pair of standard ipod earphones. All I thought was ‘this is shit’ because it sounded like a random assortment of pops and clicks. I gave it a second go on some decent speakers and boy what a difference. There is a palpable sense of ‘What the fuck is going to happen next?’ on every song. The album’s filled with spazzcore beats and odd noises laid over the top of ambient sounds reminiscent of AFX’s earlier albums (SAW 85-92 and SAW II). This is pure genius and is worth putting on if you need convincing that electronic music isnt just some French guys twiddling knobs whilst playing solitaire.
