Reviews & Discussion
I wasn't too sure what to expect before I listened to this, perhaps something similar to the Philip Glass remake on the Donkey Rhubarb e.p. (which I quite like). This, however, is just something completely different. The versions on this release have been well chosen to cover a good mix of Aphex Twin tunes and these guys really don't hold back. The first track, Cock/Ver10, from drukqs gets the whole album off to a great start. You can hear through the whole thing that Alarm Will Sound have really put in a lot of thought and effort with this project. The wide choice of instruments are really well executed, these guys must have had a great time trying to replicate Aphex Twin. Fans of the originals will have definitely have a wee smile listening to tunes like Fingerbib!

The mimicry is deft and surprisingly listenable (one might even argue that in some cases it's better than the original). The herky-jerky randomness of Aphex Twin's cavorting, bang-about music is perfectly—amazingly—captured and reinvented here in a new, more refined medium.
