Aphex Twin: Digeridoo - Expanded Edition Vinyl 2LP
"Aphex Twin's 'Didgeridoo' was released on the Belgian label R&S Records in 1992, and originally peaked at #55 in the UK singles chart in May of that year. Over the last 32 years the track has become one of the essential Aphex Twin tracks in a gargantuan catalog that continues to amaze and inspire. 'I wanted to have some tracks to play to finish the raves I used to play in Cornwall, to really kill everybody off so they couldnât dance,' Richard D James, aka Aphex Twin, told Select magazine back in the 90's. 'Digeridoo came out of that.' Released as a 4-track EP that also included early Aphex productions (now classics) including the industrial, acidic clang of âFlap Headâ and hyperbolic futurism of âIsopropanolâ, the release cemented a relationship with the R&S label that went on to release the âXylem Tubeâ EP and the pivotal album âSelected Ambient Works 85-92â in the same year. âDidgeridooâ (Expanded Edition) is the first time the EP has been re-issued with extra material. Whilst digging in his DAT archive (allegedly stored in an airtight military ammo box), Richard James revisited the recordings, encoding them through a Nakamichi CR7e cassette deck, using the customized deck with vari-speed to encode at speeds which 'felt right at the time.' Alongside these CR7e versions, the original mixes have been remastered by Beau Thomas at Ten Eight Seven Mastering, offering a dilated insight into one of electronic musicâs most endearing releases." - R&S
