Amazon.com essential recording

If techno ever does become the sound of young America, don't expect Richard James to be its poster boy, deserving though he may be. A native of Cornwall, England, James is obsessed with the mechanics of music making: As a kid, he took apart and reassembled the living room piano. Under the names Aphex Twin, Polygon Window, AFX, and other aliases too numerous to mention, he showed that he could make entire tracks with the sounds produced by tapping on a Coke can. Like the indie rockers of yore, he revels in his marginality because of the creative freedom it gives him. His full-length U.S. debut, Selected Ambient Works Volume II (1994), includes some of the most serene sounds this side of the Orb, but his favorite hobby is the not-at-all-blissful pastime of driving a Daimler Ferret Mark 3 tank through his parents' backyard.

None of his recordings have captured the competing impulses to lull you to sleep and blast out your eardrums as well as Richard D. James, his third and best album. As the title indicates, James has turned inward for inspiration, painting aural pictures of real and imagined scenes from his west country childhood. "Goongumpas" is a fanciful, playful tune that wouldn't sound out of place on the soundtrack to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. As his adventures with the family upright indicate, James was a bit of a devil even as a child. "Beetles" is the sound of a boy frying bugs on the sidewalk with a magnifying glass, and "To Cure a Weakling Child" shows flashes of the sort of sadism found only on preschool playgrounds. If you still doubt that young Richard developed early on, the romantic Nino Rota-style strings on "Girl/Boy Song" are just made for passionate seductions, and the tune appears in three mixes, each one hot and hornier than the one before.

The raucous undercurrents of even his calmest tunes and the sources of many of his most common sounds are what link James to the rock tradition. With Richard D. James, the artist solidifies his position as an electronic music mastermind who has earned a spot beside such well-respected innovators--whether or not he's destined for stardom. --Jim Derogatis

5 out of 5 stars Not perfect, just almost perfect.......2007-06-07

Besides the award for one of the worst covers ever, Richard D. James Album is actually really good. Granted, I failed to see what's so ______ good about it, but I still think it's essential. It shows that electronic music actually takes talent to create.

THe music? Like I say, samples always HELP, but they sure don't always means it's bad or good. Fortunatly, I had no trouble picking up the music. It's got good atmosphere, especially on songs like Beetles and Milkman. I still haven't figured out how they relate to himself and his life. That's the main theme, hence the title. The songs are a hit or miss basically, you will either like them or you won't THe beats aren't regular beats (like Fatboy Slim

It's really really cool, but it's still not exactly the best album ever. I like You've Come A Long Way, Baby, a lot better, but this is great electronic music. _____ electronic music haters. It's a great (very great) genre. It's not poppy either. It's the opposite. So don't expect any ____________ songs like We LIke To Party.

This guy is insane and awsome. The music is polished, yet insane. Crazy insane!

5 out of 5 stars symphonic noise.......2006-10-02

I first discovered this cd while working in a music store. This cd is not for the weak hearted. One major thing I noticed in titles such as the Boy/Girl song is that he never uses the same loop twice. The background will stay steady but everything around it will move all over the place, like putting bethoven in a cement mixer. I don't want to scare you away from this album because it is a definate worth while buy but to truely do this cd justice you need to strap on a good set of headphones and hang on for a glorius ride.

5 out of 5 stars Great Album.......2006-07-10

Between this one and drukqs, this is one of my favorite albums. I can say that I like every song on this CD. Especially the last half.

If your new to aphex twin, this is an excellent starter album.

And if your already a fan, I dont know why you haven't bought this yet

4 out of 5 stars Well worth having if you like AFX.......2006-06-22

The other reviews say it all really - good, but not as esential as Selected Ambient Works (and not really in the same vein either). I just wanted to answer the reviewer's question about the gravestone: Richard D James's parents had a stillborn child some years before he was born, also called Richard, and the image is that of his brother's gravestone. (This also explains the significance of the middle 'D'.)

Amazon.com's Best of 2001

Often proclaimed as electronica's one true genius, Richard James, a.k.a. Aphex Twin, returns with a double CD that showcases his cleverness as well as his inevitable inscrutability. Still, amid macabre birthday songs, unsettling screams, and other bizarre touches, Drukqs offers the most technically accomplished and beautiful tracks of Aphex Twin's career. Every aspect of the Aphex brain is on display here, from stark pieces performed on sampled piano and zither to Squarepusher-styled drum & bass implosions, all informed by that peculiar Aphex treatment of bittersweet melody and unparalleled programming. For an artist once engrossed in homages to his dead twin brother and grotesque videos, Drukqs shows James getting by purely on music alone.

"Mt. Saint Michel Mix" starts as maddening drum & bass, but is soon transfixed by glowing tones, hand drums, and police sirens. "Vordhosbn" is all acid beats and mad synths matched with fart-bombs and haunted cries. "54 Cymru Beats" sounds more like the tweaked-out, goofball techno of Wagon Christ than Aphex, while "Taking Control" goes metaphysical with cerebral synth-drums and muddled vocals. If Drukqs is the result of medication James has been imbibing during his three-year hiatus, then this is indeed better living through chemistry. Regardless, his music is still as beautiful and frothy as ever. --Ken Micallef

Draw the line.

5 out of 5 stars Sucked in........2007-04-23

Avril 14th was the first song I heard off of this album. That was the reason I bought it. I had owned other Aphex Twin albums such as "Richard D. James Album" and the "Come To Daddy EP." But neither of those are as mysterious and beautiful as "Drukqs."

This album flows together very nicely if played continuously through. There are about ten electronica tracks, 10 piano pieces and a few scattered ambient tracks. Some of the trip-hop tracks really slap you in the face with how involved they are... But the piano pieces are truly beautiful.

Definitely my favorite Aphex Twin album.

4 out of 5 stars Gotta B on druqks to undestsnde unnerstudit unistoou ......? Never mind.......2006-10-31

This Richard James album is another example of why I struggle to understand his intentions. Sometimes, he plays soft pleasant pieces (that no IDM fanatic needs), and then he goes off into some spastic brain hemorrhaging instrumention (which I actually find comforting). But, I guess he has to do this so that the album, as a whole, doesn't just sound like a whole lotta insane noise. Many of his more spastic drum and bass implosions (as it's been refered to) is some of his best work on this album. Richard James has come along way since I first heard of him with his "Selected Ambient Works" album that I bought many years ago. I was slow to accept and understand this album because there was nothing else like it at the time. I played it alot, got bored with it, and then just gave it away to a friend. Little did I know, that Aphex Twin was going to re-introduce himself to me in the near future.

A few years ago, I saw a movie called "Pi". It was a low budget black and white film based on the subject of intelligence and insanity, and the soundtrack that supported this film had a series of artists that I have never heard of before. Watching the film, I just loved all that strange electronic music playing in the background, so I knew I just had to find the CD soundtrack of the film "Pi".

On the soundtrack, I saw that Aphex Twin had a track on it. I don't remember this track in the film ("Bucephalus Bouncing Ball"), but I sure loved this bizarre electronic collage of dissonant noise. Plus, this CD soundtrack introduced me to alot of new artists, all making a new sound in electronic music that I have never heard before. This new music is called IDM, which means "intelligent dance music". But, I think it should be called ADM meaning "addictive music", because that's what this new music has become to me. I have a hard time listening to regular music anymore. This IDM is very motivational music to listen to. This music gives me all sorts of nervous energy which has turned me into a healthier, more physically toned, workaholic. When I'm in an IDM music euphoria, I can't sit still. After buying the soundtrack of "Pi", I ended up looking for more CD's with this new IDM sound.

This could easily be anyone's favorite CD from Aphex Twin. It doesn't really matter which Aphex Twin album you buy first (although, "Selected Ambient Works: Volume Two" would not be a good idea). But, you know, you can't just allow yourself to be satisfied with this one CD. However, if you don't have a lot of music like this, than it can seem to become too repetitious and become tiresome rather quickly if you just let yourself play this CD too much. Even I don't care to sit through the entire playback of just the one CD. But, I have determined that this music from Aphex Twin should be played within a mix of other Ambient Dub and other various glitch and IDM related electronica. To just play these 30 songs over and over, end to end, can get dull rather quickly. But if you listen to these songs mixed in and shuffling with about another hundred IDM instrumentals than you will truly appreciate Aphex Twin's participation in the overall bigger picture of today's electronic instrumentals.

I have these two Aphex Twin CD's shuffling amongst others in my 200 CD carrousel. These tracks by Aphex Twin are being mixed up with tracks by Autechre, Gescom, Phutureprimitive, Squarepusher, Pete Namlook, Biosphere, The Orb, The Higher Intelligence Agency, Sounds From the Ground, Electric Skychurch, Plaid, Boards of Canada, and various other similar artists of which Aphex Twin belongs with.

I also have these songs and other IDM and Ambient Dub tracks burned onto ATRAC CDR's that is made through the SonicStage program made available only by Sony. (Check out some of Sony's ATRAC CD players and find out why burning hours of your favorite tunes onto a single CDR is better than just loading an ipod with mp3s) Burning hard copies is definitely better than just floating your music in a temporary storage unit like an ipod. (You can make 32 hour CDR's, and as many as you want from all your CD's and mp3s. How many songs can your single ipod hold?)

Anyway, Kudos to you for discovering this Aphex Twin CD, but now, explore some of the other artists I've mentioned above. You will love this new world of sound that you've discovered. It is more vast than you could ever imagine.

5 out of 5 stars Wacky........2006-09-04

If this is your first Aphex Twin/"IDM" purchase, this will be the weirdest thing you've ever heard in your whole life. It's probably not accessible to a lot of people. Actually, it's kind of annoying at first, but after a while it might grow on you.

5 out of 5 stars try it, start to finish...........2006-07-21

i've read all the bashing reviews of this album, not up to par, a little shallow, etc... richard james has fooled the sheep. these disks have been designed to play together, try it, start to finish. i read this somewhere else online and was a little sceptical but a few minutes into the first track(s) was completly convinced. i ripped both disks onto the computer under two different formats and used two different media players timed to start at exactly the same time. a lot of work to enjoy an album but remember rdj is a computer geek and a jokester, probably gets off on the the bum reviews. enjoy!

OK is one phrase that's universally known and understood, and on OK Talvin Singh tries for a similar global connection. A classically trained tabla player, he's performed with Björk and Massive Attack, holds his own club nights in London, and is the leading light of the burgeoning Asian Underground movement--in other words, a man of many parts. He brings them all together here--the Bollywood strings, the kannakol patterns of Indian music, and the skittering rhythms of drum & bass and jungle--to create something that is new and thoroughly vibrant. This is Britain at the millennium, drawing on its immigrants, full of Eastern promise, and ready to dive headlong into the future. An album of both intelligence and passion, it is more than OK; it's a complete marvel. --Chris Nickson

Eclipse is the best fusion track that I have listened to in recent times. Talvin Singh is very talented with the Tabla

5 out of 5 stars psychotropic fusions.......2005-08-23

masterful, visionary, tantric fusions of sound to energize and delight.

A nice complement to the darker works of the band, Male or Female.

5 out of 5 stars Salvaje y Descarado.......2005-04-11

Talvin Singh es un maestro de la fusión entre Oriente (escrito con letras de un rojo pasión, sinuosa y aterciopelada la caligrafía) y Occidente (brillante y neón, recto y pulcro). Talvin Singh es almizcle y mirra y opio en la autopista. Talvin Singh es una de mis últimas obsesiones.

Este caballero de ascendencia india ha remezclado canciones de grandes nombres como Madonna, Björk y David Bowie, y sin embargo, su principal aportación, en mi opinión, es levantar la cortina de seda transparente que separa mundos acústicos tan diversos. Albergo con codicia dos de sus trabajos: Ok y Ha.

Ok es salvaje y descarado, un álbum lleno de monosílabos que te invade, inunda y empuja sin timidez alguna. Sus melodías son rocambolescas, llenas de texturas deslumbrantes, hartas de gozo y encanto. Es un viaje en un atestado y humeante autobús indio. Los baches te destrozan la espalda, el olor de las especias te ahoga y dopa, el griterío te excita y aterra a la vez. Y sin embargo, hay un momento de quietud entre la zozobra, una puesta de sol a través de cristales sucios. Una lágrima entre sonrisas.

El mundo está lleno de sonidos, de voces, de ritmos, de melodías. Quiero devorarlos todos, saciar mi apetito descomunal. Talvin Singh me ha llevado al este. ¿Quieres acercarte conmigo?

4 out of 5 stars great grooves.......2003-08-23

Talvin Singh is a master at his craft, and it's evident on O.K. Elegant tabla rhythms mix superbly with electronic music to create a sublime ambient sound from the Asian underground. If you like ambient music, or Eastern-influenced electronica, you won't be sorry you bought this album.

5 out of 5 stars Marvellous.......2003-05-06

This is beyond any doubt a very strange album. Since I'm not really into drum'n'bass (with the exception of some rather old Aquasky stuff), it was kind of a risk to buy it. Anyhow, I'm really glad I did so. It contains a magical blend of Indian and electronic music, Singh balances on the thin border between earth and space. The sound of the asian instruments is incredible, since Talvin Singh is a professional tabla-player, the technical quality is far beyond average.
I like it. A lot. The most bizarre thing is that I keep on doing so, no matter how much I listen to it.
Without any doubt a marvellous creation... and you shouldn't doubt a second about buying it.

4 out of 5 stars This is a good CD.......2006-03-03

This is a good CD. A lot of reviews say the lyrics are not very good. Well they are not as bad as people say, any way this kind of music is More about moods and sounds, and Lamb really deliver in those departments. I am still glad I bought this CD! "Lusty" and "Zero" are both great songs, and so is the rest of the album, This cd is full of compelling vocals and great beats. Lamb seems to get compared to everyone from "Olive" to "Baxter" to "Spicehouse" to "Hooverphonic". I think Lamb are totally unique and have no connection to Anyone but themselves. Overall this album is a great mix of drum n bass with a bit of jazz, some trip hop and a beautiful voice. A great addition to any modern music collection.

5 out of 5 stars Final Grade: 93%.......2005-06-19

I was introduced to this album from the first girl I ever felt sincere love for, so yeah it has a sentimental quality to it. Outside of this personal affiliation I make with the album, it is on its own a great record, borderlining on excellence.

One of the best things about this album is its flow. The first tune, Lusty, is fantastic, really introducing you into the sound and the feel...only to be pulled in even more with the second track, Godbless. By the time you reach Cottonwool, you feel impressed by weary that since most albums dont continue so strongly the third track should be less than the previous two...wrong. It only gets better and better. Now of course they couldn't keep you up on such a climax so after "letting you inside their house", they give you a tour of the rooms.

The album has no real flaws, though you end up feeling that it could of been better though. Which is why they only receive 93(just above an A minus) out of 100 in my book. But of course, few albums score the required 97% to be considered a Masterpiece (Check Maxinquaye for such brilliance)

5 out of 5 stars Finding "Someone" is like Finding Yourself a "Home".......2005-02-25

Louise Rhodes has a beautifully suited sound, touching my mind in a way that makes me want to sigh when she sings about love and agree with her when she sings about hardship, and it meshes all-so-well with beats specifically tailored to carry that talent. That's what I like about Lamb; the acknowledgement that she's an instrument all to herself, haunting in some rights seemingly delicate in others, because this approach allows her to become something akin to the heartbeat of the song itself. In that right Rhodes does something that alot of other musicians can't, finding depths and points deeper still, and crafting emotions out of words. Sometimes they are beautiful things too, like the fluttering sigh of a butterfly in the breeze or the brush of a storm touching dry skies. and sometimes they scream like shadows in the delicate words the broken cry.

The first song I hear her carry was "God Bless," and I thought that it was beautiful. There was so much motion in the tune, the beat shuffling with little motions and a drum-n-beat soul, and yet she was in the center, like calm in the storm. As I listened I noticed she was doing something odd for a drum-n-beat song too, singing about love as the song modified in its complexities and doing it well. And I found myself happy with it, thinking "yeah, I know exactly what she's saying."
"Here's to happiness."
This introduction wasn't a fluke, either, because so much of what Lamb is sounds just like that. There are mad shuffling beats here and there, silent and then frantic in songs like Cotton Wool, and yet Rhodes is there singing about love and offering a heart and it all seems to make sense. There are also deep symbols-n-bass beats that move through almost dark motions, with Trans Fatty Acids working as an example of that, and she still stands above it promising that she'll protect the heart from winter's chill. I also have to note the warm embrace of tracks like Gold when I cite something lovely, the fondness brought out in a track like Closer, and beautifully-written songs like Gorecki. God, I like that song enough not to try to describe how pretty it is.

There's another side of that emotional scope too, with the other the emotive sonnet sometimes echoing a very believable pain. Rhodes carries that just as well as she does love and adoration, speaking hymns of loneliness like a believer, and those little drifts are so full. Zero is a song that speaks an aloneness that many can agree with because it sparks what hearts truly feel when they hurt or are alone. And Feela talks about the pain that comes when something is over, when tears are shed and the world seems broken, and its minimalist beat and lyrics convey that so well. "This could have been something, this could have been really something, tell me something more, tell me something more worth living for." It seems - painful - when that songs bleeds to stage.

I'm not really sure what else should be said about someone that talented, save that her musical compatriot is equally-gifted when it comes to the motions of the beat. And the albums keep this tempo, getting better as time progresses.

3 out of 5 stars Great music vs Awful lyrics.......2005-01-06

The music is excellent. No arguement there. But for me the experience of listening to this is totally soured by the risable, adolescent lyrics. It appears that only one other reviewer (so far) has noticed this, or is bothered by it. But, even the (almost constant) stream of lyrical cliches would have been forgivable, had it not been for the utter preposterousness of the singers delivery. She sings her lyrics with all the delusional conviction of a tiresome 14 year old, utterly convinced she has 'had these, like, amazing mysterious thoughts' and it is her compelling destiny to bestow new truths on us all. Oh dear.

5 out of 5 stars Start your Lamb investigations, with this, their debut album.......2004-11-25

Lamb have always been the more serious face of the Breakbeat/Drum 'n' Bass fusion scene, since their introduction in 1997, their's was a fusion of Breakbeat & Intelligent Jungle breaks providing the drum patterns, over which a keen ear for reinterpreting (or reworking) elements of 'Classical' & brooding 'Jazz' instrumentation, over these breakbeats would lend an inescapable air of sophistication to their music. All intense String arrangements, Eerie Cello, and complex drum patterns over which vocalist 'Louise Rhodes' delivers spooky, and Angst-ridden vocal song-oriented passages. (Think, if "Portishead" did moody Breakbeat-orientated songs).

This, their debut album, is a perfect encapsulation of what the band do best. The opener "Lusty" is a energetic starter, with insistent Jungle breakbeats immediately kicking into action, building up into something, although not quite something to actually dance to, is rhythmically more intense than Lamb are usually known for, the torch bearing vocal of 'Louise' is a particular standout here, never quite allowing the buzzing beats to drown out her bittersweet lyrics.

"Cotton Wool" is more akin, to the abstract drum patterns usually associated with someone like "Squarepusher" or "Aphex Twin", and although never quite reaching that level of intensity (as it would break the flow of the song), but still retaining that (subtle) level of skittering & Broken drum beats, that they are know for. Which is at odds with its melancholic Cool jazz arrangements, and even Louise's vocal timing sits slightly uncomfortable with the constantly changing & rapid fire beats. Yet in spite of itself, it works remarkably well, and its a testament to the production skills of producer "Andrew Barlow", to bring all these disparate elements together, to make one of the tightest songs on the album. (In an offbeat kind of way).

If there is a song on the album that marks itself out as epic, then "Trans fatty Acid" is easily that track. A 7:37 minute modernistic masterpiece that pushes every theatrical button, and Soothing, reflective soul-inflected groove it can lay its hands on. Elegant, without being obvious, Jazz-referencing without trying to be knowingly cool, Sensual without resorting to cliche, sinister strings, throbbing Cello bass, and a dark sense of romanticism, with detached cool, underpin this track. And 'Louise' assumes a wistful cathartic diva poise, to jaw-dropping effect. (that 'Portishead' comparsion I made earlier isn't sounding so crazy now, is it??)....such is the brilliance of this track, that Chill-out kingpins "Kruder & Dorfmeister" would later remix this track for their "K&D Sessions" album.

What follows later is a sublime mix of Classical-inspired instrumentals ("Merge"), organic Trip-Hop coupled with smoky Jazz ("Gold"), muted chamber music, ingeniously devised dexterous synthetic bass and intricate drum programming, that although never truly took 'Lamb' into the mainstream in the same way as 'Portishead' & 'Tricky' were able to, they were able to make a significant impact on the underground Trip-hop scene. And also like Portishead / Tricky / Massive Attack, this is a album that became part of the 'Trip-Hop' explosion in the mid 90's, and even now, going back to it, some 6-7 years later, it still feels as vital as it did on its initial release.

5 out of 5 stars A decade of AMP.......2007-05-14

First off, let me just say that MTV suxorz. However, they can't be 100% awful, because they brought us AMP (also, remember the classic Yo! MTV Raps and Headbanger's Ball? ;). And while the show no longer exists on the station, the CD lives on.

"Block Rockin' Beats" definitely starts the disc off on the right foot, with some hard and heavy breakbeats as only the Chemical Brothers can make them. "Atom Bomb" put Fluke on the map, and rightfully so. Underworld was at the top of the techno game throughout the late 90s, and "Pearl's Girl" is literally flawless in production. "We Have Explosive" = KILLER. "Ni Ten Ichi Ryu" is a minimal, offstep drum & bass track, with a nice, almost oriental feel (hence the Japanese title, I suppose). "Girl/Boy Song" is far from Aphex Twin's best track, but its cool instrumental melody and scattered beats do well here as a contrast track, and you can almost understand what Aphex is about. Almost. Likewise, "The Box" is certainly not Orbital's best track, but it really gives a good feel for the group and the genre. Tranquility Bass drops a dark, deep, trip-hoppy track. "Inner city Life" is a drum & bass classic, and one of the main reasons I still listen to techno. The "Voodoo People" remix is the best version of another classic techno track. "Are You There" can get repetitive, but it builds and builds with acid breaks over a nifty answering machine sample. "Busy Child" brought the Crystal Method instant credibility, and staying power. And of course, what better way to finish it off than with some harsh, angsty Digital Hardcore from the master of that trade, Alec Empire and Atari Teenage Riot.

When I was 18 and still discovering techno music, this CD helped me to understand the different styles and popular artists, and opened the door for me to forge my own ideas about what was worth listening to. Incidentally, within a year of my buying this CD, I owned every full-length CD with the songs on this album. Absolutely worth it.

3 out of 5 stars Ok.......2005-08-06

This album is not that great. It has some interesting music on it, and one or two songs I play on occasion, but it is pretty mediocre. Look elsewhere for kick ass beats or journeys through sound.

5 out of 5 stars One of the BEST electronic compilations.......2002-12-26

First that all, Im an electronic music fan from Colombia. I remember that my first SERIOUS contact with electronic music was the AMP TV show, via cable television, way back to 1996. In south america, just like in the U.S. the fresh new sound of the AMP TV show captivated a lot of people like me. And just like in the U.S., here in Colombia, finding good quality electronic music was a lot harder than now...

So when this CD came out, I ordered it in a music store that worked with imports, and WOW... even now after six years, few discs on my collection have the ammount of quality that this one has. It has the biggest artists in electronic music, as well as some of their most famous tracks. Of course, this cd may not appeal to the "bang-bang-boom-boom" techno-fans, because every track on this album is pure flowing style. Real quality. Buy it NOW.

5 out of 5 stars the original gangsta.......2002-12-11

This CD's a great starting point and nothing more. it was best back in 97 in my friend's car when we first heard aphex twin and atari teenage riot and laughed it off, only to end up putting it back on later. before circuit city came along and labeled it "electronica" and god knows what else, this was the best starting point for american listeners to get into british techno. only a few stinkers out of an otherwise very diverse (drum 'n bass, chaos, cyberPUNKROCK, straight up big beat) and catchy bunch, sure to sell any disbeliever after time.

4 out of 5 stars Experimental MTV?YES!.......2002-05-14

Can you believe I have owned this CD since 1997? I stumbled across AMP one Sunday night after watching 120 Minutes. On AMP, I was exposed to for the first time Prodigy, the Chemical Brothers, Future Sound of London and many other cutting edge artists. From that moment on, I knew I had to have the CD! I agree with the other reviewers here, it is a taste of what MTV in the US can be if they chose to get back their experimental and groundbreaking roots. With songs from the likes of Goldie, the Chemical Brothers, Underworld and the now infamous Prodigy...this CD gives you an overview of the first AMP shows. I can tell you, all of these groups are still very much popular here in Europe and are not "One Hit Wonders" by any means. If you want a taste of experiemental MTV before the Nu-Metal and Boy Band take over of 1998, respectively, then pick up this CD, you wont regret it.

4 out of 5 stars An album of extremes.......2007-05-11

The best way to describe Come to Daddy is that it is an album of extremes. There is no middle ground. One song will be soft and soothing and the next will be intense and menacing. "Funny Little Man" is more offensive than funny and "To Cure a Weakling Child (Contour Regard)" isn't as effective as the version that appears on the Richard D. James album. But those two tracks are offset by a couple of powerful ones that rank with Aphex Twin's best. "Bucephalus Bouncing Ball" is avant-garde electronica at its finest and "IZ-US" is an absolutely riveting closer. These two tracks rank with "Boy/Girl" and "Windowlicker" for sheer hypnotic effect that is given to the listener. You just don't want them to end. The four other songs, especially "Flim", are satisfactory. The production on Come to Daddy is what instantly struck me the most. As great as the production on the Richard D. James album was, it's just not as pristine and crisp-sounding as Come to Daddy. There's a lot going on in the album, but the production lets you catch every bit of it. Yes...the production on Come to Daddy is among the best you'll ever hear in any genre and is just about perfect. The originality and production makes Come to Daddy worthwhile and, along with the Richard D. James album and Selected Ambient Works: 85-92, among Aphex Twin's best albums. B+

5 out of 5 stars Techno intellectual.......2007-03-23

A small EP of the best compositional work in the Techno genre that I've ever heard. If the point of music is to represent spiralling electric currents in your brain, then this album will be much more enjoyable than the mind-numbing MIDI 4-on-the-floor of the majority of work in the Genre.

4 out of 5 stars awestruck!.......2006-02-17

precisely, this was my reaction upon seeing the video. A scintillatingly devilish promenade of bizarre apparitions, a turmoil of postnuclear visions...and i still have not figured out what makes it so appaling. The iconography of come to daddy has ever since made its way around art forums, magazines and had a greater impact on video-culture as none before, that owes less to the aphexian impromptu itself, than to us, masses who devour anything that is scandalous, and revolving. Thus a sound may only sound as it is visualized, and this may be a reason why, an aphexian experiment could be transplanted to M.T.V standards. Phonic violence is not the case of visual violence, and i think this a reason why we should credit RDJ more for his genuine sampling than for the visual inertia we are faced with in this video. This particular brakethrough does not apply to all aphexian sampling, i have seen other videos that did not scandalize the auditive this far...though windowlicker might be an acception. Come to daddy is musically more than just a scandal to the senses, in fact it juxtaposes them to a certain extent. Altough we seem to see all we hear we have to come to terms with deception, a musical ambiental experience should not be mistaken with the images of horror, and loathing we are bombed with day in day out.

2 out of 5 stars Superficial and numbing.......2005-12-04

Superficial and numbing...

But that's maybe how you want to feel when you listen to it.

To me it's music that doesn't tell you ANYTHING.

It's like one BIG joke or maybe that's what it's meant to be.

Music that lacks soul or emotion.

Or maybe I just don't get it.

A lot of my friends rave about it so I've given it ago but...

Whats it ALL about anyway??

It just sounds frustrated and stunted. Music that doesn't really go anywhere or say anything..

3 out of 5 stars Eh, it was alright...........2002-01-15

Okay the first time I heard RITM I was at this party in Dallas. I had never heard their stuff before and someone sticks this CD into the player. I was like Who is this?? I asked and was told who it was.
I didn't really care for this CD once I learned it was their remixes Vol 1. I feel that artist should do their own stuff instead of specializing in other's styles and work. At least do their own work first off, then do remixes after they've been out a while. Maybe the person at this party shouldn't have played a remix album by RITM and instead brought an album done by RITM. I've only heard a couple of songs that RITM has done on their own. They've become famous doing remixes, and that's all I hear about them now. "It's a RITM remix of BT's song or Oakenfold's song!" Blah blah.
I don't have a problem with remixes. Oakenfold, BT, Tiesto, Special DJ K, PVD, etc all of them had done their share of those. BUT these artists ACTUALLY HAVE THEIR OWN DANG ALBUMS TOO! They do their own work and try not to make money off other artist's work and style by mixing it up.
After this RITM CD was over with, I placed my C.M. "Vegas" cd into the player.
I just feel they should be doing their own stuff more often than not.

4 out of 5 stars Remixes worth getting.......2001-10-14

Though it's not an album this is nonetheless a much welcomed release from these highly rated electronic producers. A collection of remixes done by the Florida based electronic dance act Rabbit in the Moon of various artists work.

A good collection with highlights including the brilliant collaboration with Humate on 'East' and their stunning remix of Orbital's 'Are We Here?'.

Any fan of Rabbit in the Moon should have this along with dance music fans who want something a bit different.

This CD is an outlet for the loose coalition of remixers, DJs, and studioheads known as the Asian Underground (because of their Asian or Anglo-Asian backgrounds). They all put a distinctly Indian spin on this music, with the dhol drum at the heart of the beat, and all the technology on top. Singh's two tracks are things of joy, but nothing here disappoints, whether the modern film music of A.R. Rahman or the drum'n'bass of State of Bengal. --Chris Nickson

5 out of 5 stars Talvin Singh is truly the Asian Underground ambassador.......2004-08-04

I'd heard Flight IC408 years ago, never really gave it much attention. Then one day, at my ex's house, I spotted Anokha on her CD rack. I popped it in, and was blown away. Jaan is one of the coolest tracks I've ever heard, I'm still trying to find a set to hook it into(and I'm close). I do agree with one of the other reviewers in that the album has flow problems, and it jumps too much at some points. On the whole, though, I love it. Can't wait to get into more of his stuff. :)

2 out of 5 stars not very happy.......2004-04-15

I bought this CD thinking about the indian-electronic music, and i get disappointed when i heard it, it hasn't the indian essence like other CD's, it's more electronic than anything, and believe me that i'm a fan of talvin singh, karsh kale, cheb i sabbah and more...but anyway it has few cool songs, all are from talvin singh, one from state of bengal "flight IC408" and from Rahman (mumbai theme tune), it's like a bollywood score

1 out of 5 stars Horrible!!.......2003-08-02

I bought this CD because so many good reviews about it were listed, but man!! what a terrible dissapointment. This CD is just plain awfull and I think I have an eclectic music taste. This is TRANCE music, only one track remained in my collection and that was "Chitagong Chill". The rest were trash.
I should have known because I purchased "Ha" before, another Talving Singh CD and only one track was good on that one "Mustard Fields". You really have to be spaced out on acid to get into any of this stuff if you ask me. I made myself a note to NEVER purchase another Talvin Singh CD. I don't know how this got so many good reviews, so I had to cast my vote and try to balance the scales here.

As a new fan to the Asian underground, I was very pleased with this album. I was not quite sure what to expect but was pleasantly pleased with the variety of music on this CD. The two songs by Talvin Singh himself were my absolute favorite. I would definitely recommend it!

5 out of 5 stars Medely of Dark Minimal Tech-House that doesnt get boring.......2007-04-19

Imagine Richie Hawtin meets John Digweed @ a Electronic Symphony and they decide to orchestrate! You would get Tiefschwarzes Fabric 29. This CD combines some of the best minimal tech-house tunes out there in flowing manner. Unlike most Minimal Techno that I have heard, I do not get bored with the Songs or the CD in general.

The CD starts out hard and bumping with a aggressive semi-industrial tune and quickly switches to more melodic and harmonic tunes building back up to a combination of bouncy tracks and Mid-based Tunes.

I can strongly recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys the dark side of house and yet is bored with techno and minimal alone.

5 out of 5 stars This rocks!.......2006-10-31

The best Fabric CD since the Craig Richards (#1) and Terry Francis (#2) mixes. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven after hearing Freefall!!!

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful, mind-bending music.......2006-10-07

This latest installment of the Fabric series marks not only what I consider the finest disc in the series to date, but also the finest mix I have heard by Tiefschwarz.
From start to finish every track only serves to add to the beautiful, strange journey through hypnotic techno and electro provided by the Schwarz brothers.
I cannot recommend this cd highly enough to fans of quality electronic music. A masterpiece of the dj mix genre.

5 out of 5 stars A relentless tech mix that starts off with a bang........2006-08-30

This mix starts off heavy, and never lets up, with the quirky, yet hard hitting vocal track Grace (Anxiety) by Troy Pierce (as Louderbach) starting things off in a very energetic way. This track worked well in Sascha Funke's Boogy Bytes 2 mix, but it was deep into the mix. I feel it's even more effective starting a mix off. Things quickly lighten up with the bloopy Claude VonStroke next, and then it's into the M.A.N.D.Y. remix of Tiefschwarz's excellent track Damage, featuring Tracey Thorn of Everything But The Girl on vocals.

Two solid tech house tracks follow, especially Touane's snappy track Bassic, and it's right into the gritty, churning, techno sound of Thomas Schumacher's incredible track Rotor. The mix then hits a very slight snag in track 7, which I feel is one of only two so-so parts of the mix. It's not bad, it's just a little too light and bubbly tech house for my liking. It's quickly forgotten as the mix races through with 4 solid tracks in a row, and right after the melodic Freefall, it's into Tiefschwarz's own remix of a Depeche Mode track. This is the only other slight miss in the mix for me, as I feel the track was a tad too long at nearly 7 minutes, and could have been trimmed to better fit the flow of the mix. Another solid melodic track is next, and we end with the dubbed out vocals of Kate Wax.

Overall, it's an exciting tech house mix that's a full lineup of solid tracks, with not a bad one in sight, and very few dips in the scorching pace of one, very sound, top to bottom mix. Do not miss picking this one up, as it's easily in the top 5 techno/tech house mixes this year.
