What a fabulous piece of music. All 4 tracks are very strong hard pieces of techno music. However the main track Digeridoo is one hell of a ride.

A breakbeat fuelled hard techno stomper with an analogue digeridoo that morphs and mutates until the listener can take no more.

I had the pleasure back in early 1993 of seeing the Aphex twin play a live set in both Glasgow(Pussypower) and Edinburgh(Pure) where he played a mixture of heavy techno and some highlights from his Selected Ambient Works Vol 1.
However Digeridoo was the absolute highlight. I do have to admit that whilst watching the show at Pure Edinburgh I was under the influence of some rather potent LSD which certainly enhanced the performance. A delight indeed!
