Zephyr_Nova Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I'd probably been listening to Aphex Twin for about 5 years before I even found out this EP existed. Then I saw it in a shop while I was visiting Ireland, bought it, put it on, and was all "holy shit early Aphex drill 'n' bass... how did I not know about this??" I was struck by how much more prominent the melodies were than on Drukqs, and the shrill found sound percussion. Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbass Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 After Drukqs this was the second aphex release I really got into. Classic ep, one of my favorites for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hijexx Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 My first listen was those same glitchy MP3s everyone was talking about earlier. Finally had a decent job in 2000 and was able to buy the HABs on Ebay, it was my first proper listen. I was so used to the encoding glitches that hearing it proper took me a minute to get used to! Great tunes. They were very inspirational to me, coming from a PC tracker music focused background to hear all those high speed edits going around and trying to map how he did that to my universe. Started speeding up those ticks per minute after that and looked at things a lot differently. Crazy to think these are coming up on 25 years old.

beerwolf Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Never been massive into this record, but at the same time I always look forward to giving it a fresh spin. Which I guess since this bump will be sometime this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zazen Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I had the vinyl, lucky enough to find it when it came out in Sister Ray, Berwick st. I used to listen to Every Day at 33 rpm, it just seemed right. (You know that Warp thing where they deliberately dont say which speed to play it at). The vocal sample sounds like an old woman at that speed, reminiscing about something. Heres the 33rpm version: Although Bleep has it at 45 rpm so I guess thats the official one. At that speed the vocal sample is accurate (I have the original sample somewhere) but the music sounds far too fast to me, I got too used to the slower version. https://bleep.com/release/5004-afx-hangable-auto-bulb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markedone Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Havent listened to this one in a while.. Giving it a listen now and loving all the detail in the tracks I thought I knew fairly well. I know its been discussed before, but imo its an album (its longer than RDJ, lol) Random thought, the bassline towards the end of Children Talking (4:40 to the end) sounds like the same synth as Autechre - Gelk.. anyone know what it is?

beerwolf Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Played this again a few days ago and still had the similar effect: kind of cool and brim-full of IDM tactics but doesn't quite have that Aphexian sparkle I'm searching for. However I did notice that these tracks have a lot of similar ideas and sounds that would be utilised to supreme effect on the Come To Daddy EP. And by Jove that release has Aphexian sparkle by the megaton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizza Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 love the vibe of this release. one of my earliest forays into aphex and still a personal fav. unique! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
