Aphex Twin – Classics – Vinyl LP Record

Description

It’s a while since we got a repress of Aphex Twin’s 1995 compilation Classics, a must-have round-up of his early, largely dancefloor-focused works for R&S Records and the Exeter-based Mighty Force imprint. It’s the Cornish maestro at his most forthright and floor-ready, with the thrillingly demented and psychedelic free party anthem ‘Digeridoo’ kicking off a collection of unsettling, acid-propelled techno (‘Flaphead’), twisted dancefloor IDM (‘Isopropanol’), breakbeat-driven wide-eyed brightness (‘Polynomial-C’), loved-up brilliance (‘Analogue Bubblebath’, which remains one of his most endearing cuts) and some industrial-strength early remixes of early German hardcore hero Mescalinum United’s ‘We Have Arrived’. Oh, and a suitably mental live take on ‘Didgeridoo’, recorded live in Cornwall in 1990.
