Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy [320][MP3]

Come to Daddy
Label: Warp Records
Format: CD
Country: UK
Released: Oct 1997
Genre: Electronic
Style: IDM, Abstract, Ambient

It was the titular song that gave me the early impression Aphex Twin was a seriously disturbed individual (no doubt perpetuated by the accompanying music video). Delving further into the CD however will reveal some audio delights. I was expecting more tracks in a similar vein to the first, however, to my surprise the song that immediately follows the single is the complete opposite in terms of style! Slower, softer and more melodic. At only four songs it's still a great sample of Aphex Twin's musical flexibility.

A masterpiece. No doubts. That's all I have to say of this album. This was the first album I heard of Boards of Canada and it just changed my concept of music in a whole. I started paying attention to each detail on every music I heard after it. I recommend you listen to it at once, the full album.

Recommendations:

• Music is Math
• Sunshine Recorder
• A is to B is to C
• Dawn Chorus
• You Could Feel the Sky

Let's Face it, BoC with each release leave that style behind for an updated one, and in this case with 'Geogaddi' they have gotten a little more abstract and experimental. Sure they still have there glitched out beats with there non-organic samples of little childeren and nature documentaries, but they are are a different BoC and the fact that they have challenged themselves to step outside There Own Box, i think with a little time this one will grow on us...like Chemical Brothers and Underworld albums we always seem to nitpick them and state that there previous album was better, well what makes good artists is there constant change and evolution. Geogaddi has plenty of there 'Beaty' and tracks with lots of disturbed and meloncholy melodies such as 'Music is Math' and '1969', but now they have a lot more of this strange ambient sound mixed with an anxious yet different IDM sound 'Gyroscope'--'The Beach At Redpoint'--'You Could Feel The Sky' and 'Alpha and Omega', which was unexpected. 

I truly enjoy this album and I give props out to BoC for not letting the fans get to their heads and redoing a second version of MHtRtC.

If you are a BoC fan like me you need to have all albums. Here's one I dare you have in your library. Aquarius had a little add on and Olson is very different. Enjoy.

Boards of Canada's Peel Session is a recording of their 21 July 1998 broadcast on BBC Radio 1 forPeel's radio program.

It features significantly different takes of both Aquarius and Olson. The version of Happy Cycling that we see on this release is not the same as what was actually broadcast, here we find the polished version that also appears as an extra track on Music Has The Right To Children and the broadcast version formerly known as Bad Day being dropped.

There is a great deal of misunderstanding about the nature and timing of this recording, in part because of the surfacing of an unreleased track on peer-to-peer networks entitled "XYZ." This track appears to have been a part of the Peel Session but was strangely omitted from the track listing of the official release.

"XYZ" in its full 9:38 cut (shortened versions still circulate) includes an exchange both before and after the track between John Peel and Boards of Canada.
