This is a rather amusing release. It features all the complex drum tracks, unique rhythm, and glitchy sampling that we've come to expect from Richard, but puts on top of all that the notorious theme song to Pacman. It's pretty fast in terms of the tempo, and I could imagine something like this working well on a dance floor. It's not really something you would take seriously, as it features a very facetious mood and riff, but its an enjoyable track.
Excellent release from Aphex Twin on London Records Ffrreedom off shoot. 5 mixes to choose from but the original holds the most power, though Choci's mix is still a belter. Mickey Finn delivers a fairly sparse affair that like his Egyptian Empire remix is easy to program but holds little weight - sounds almost 'clinical' The Ghost mix is interesting & takes things into slightly darker territory....
Usually quite hard to find in the CD version & nearly always expensive probably due to it being an Aphex release, I feel it's worth the hunt, price & a must for the collector of all things 'Old Skool hardcore'
