Aphex Twin - Analog Bubblebath Vol 2

Amazing. Just when I start hoping that I have grown out of childish behavioral patterns, Digeridoo catches me off guard and throws me back to the good old days of early elementary school - when I was still small and young enough to jump all over bed!

Simply put, this where a lot of things concerning electronic music started for me. Furiously scattered broken beats, deviant digeridoo sequences with thick and sick 303 leads. Unlike anything I've heard until then. The flip side has two hard bangers, with huge drum kicks and loads of screeching noises. Though I have never really caught up on all the Aphex Twin hype, the day I first played this, I though I could jump high enough to tear the moon to shreds.

Love it or loathe it, at the time of it's release Digeridoo was unlike pretty much anything that had gone before. It was one of those tracks that made you stop and listen, take it in and in my case, be amazed.
The word 'groundbreaking' is used too often, in my opinion, when used to describe tracks that are different from the norm, but I feel it definitely applies in this case.
Whenever I hear it, I think of a party at a gravel pit in Alton, 10K rig on a truck, 2 strobes and 80 tripped out people going mental.
Aaaaaah, those are the days I miss most.

I remember hearing this on the Radio and went out the very next day to purchase. Even then I wasn't sure if I liked it or not, as I hated most breakbeat inspired style/productions of the time ... However all these years on it's one of the most intense electronic work outs released on vinyl and it's still original..or should that be (Ab)original?! .¬)
