The tracks are the same as released on CD and digital. The B-side tracks are slightly shorter here mostly just because they were mastered for vinyl with the source tape playing 4.6% too fast. Also, a little over 1 second of the intro of "Dodeccaheedron" is cut off.

This EP chaged the history of music.
Something we never experienced before.

dodeccaheedron is such a dramatic closer to this ep. kinda shocked this was released in 1992, this is by far an R&S classic

Polynomial - C is just such a beauty!! The MC-202/SH-101, whatever one he used just sounds so perfect and then on to the terrifying monster that is Dodeccaheedron, lurking in the darkness!
I wonder why there was never a CD release of this like the Didgeridoo E.P - Aphex Twin - Digeridoo

For the fanatics. The original release / run of vinyl copies only had the white inner sleeve.

I think that I got this - mine has a die cut R&S sliver/blue cover, one sticker on both sides, but all text / artwork has faded and it is only two blank silver stickers..

What happens when Techno meets pre-Boards Of Canada. Exceptionally original music encompassing so many different moods and emotional landscapes. The dark sounds of 'Dodeccaheedron' for instance, are unforgivably haunting. Amazing music

I bought a used copy, side A sounds fine, Side B is muffled as all hell. Is the vinyl version just like this, or is it just worn out from 27 years of play?

Polynomial-C
As played by Easygroove at Fantazia Castle Donnington 1992...the track list to the right on this page does not show the full Easygroove set, among alot of other tunes Easygroove drops a tune called Doet which is from the Spiral Tribe Ep...hard mate!!!
Also the Anticappella - 2√231 tune listed in iamdek's track listing is not the mix that Easygroove plays, youll need this catalogue number for the tune he plays..PWL Continental ‎– PWLT 205R which is the (Mo'rytmo Mix)...another quality tune..As a footnote iamdek seems to have taken away his tracklist now? lets hope he puts the Full tracklisting up...

Polymonial - C , nothing transports you back to 1992 like that, blood running thick with ecstacy.
