Aphex Twin - Girl/Boy E.P.

ecuadorian_bass, Mar 08, 2005

I first heard this release at someones house in Manchester after being at Havok (frantic and disturbing acid techno night). Some guys were spinning random records and generally having a laugh, but as soon as this came on everyone stopped and listened hard. From the first orchestral strains RDJ achieves a melody of classical beauty that I have struggled to find in my dads extensive classical music back catalogue. And when the spasticated percussion and efx go off, well that just about sealed it for me. An absolutely astonishing and downright poetic release that Ill never tire of listening to as long as Ive got fully functioning auditory nerves, and emotions to go with them.
