"Quoth" is truly a smashing track with a loud bass and percussions and sounds derived from the London Underground. It is being said that Richard D. James went into the field with his sound recorder and was fascinated by the sounds trains make.

If you listen carefully you can hear the sounds of trains running on the tracks. Maybe this explains the cover of this release. The artist is running down the stairs on an underground station in London (I think).

This is one is not for your average birthday party, but for hard house-heads.

Great track - all driving, clattering, metallic percussion. A real groundbreaking track and one of the first techno releases to really get the attention of the indie-kids back in 1993. This was released and deleted on the same day, on nice opaque vinyl.

I don´t know it exactly, but I think that no release of Aphex Twin is such a 100%-Techno-track like this one. This is one of the few tracks by him you could really play in a club and the people can dance to it in a normal way - neither chilling in the corner nor flipping totally out!

note: The UK test pressing 12" for "(Quoth)" comes in a black generic die-cut sleeve, and has a rectangular black [computer print] on white paper label affixed to Side A's white label. This label (which features the release's title as well as its track-listing) misspells track #2 as "I Keata". The correction is as appears above.

note: The US promotional-only 12" for "(Quoth)" comes in a black generic die-cut sleeve which has a gold `Lent For Promotional Use Only' stamp in its top right-hand corner (this release does not identify it as being `promotional' anywhere else, however).
