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.

"There is something phenomenally enticing about a sequestered island chain, literally bounded by a vast and enveloping sea.Perhaps it’s the romance of discovery – the knowledge that here lies the safety of land within the great seclusion of nature. Perhaps it’s the raw beauty that is simply emerald speckled turquoise.Lieven Moana as Dolphins Into The Future dedicates his latest effort to the Azores, a remarkably beautiful volcanic archipelago that lacks very little by way of inspiration. The ambient conjurer weaves glorious tones and minimal percussion with brilliant and evocative field recording, having spent several weeks on the island cluster for this body of work. "Once an island gets born," Lieven articulates, "it’s a continuous struggle, a continuous dialogue, a learning, a BATTLE and cooperation of influences. The sea starts bashing on it’s shores. Erosion starts the complete demolition of the island. But at the same time, sun and sea give birth and food... Archipelagos have a heavy rhythm."

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.

Team Doyobi - Empire [MP3][128][Very Rare]

Empire

Label: Alku

Format: CDr, Limited Edition

Country: Spain

Released: 2001

Genre: Electronic

Style: Experimental, Abstract, Glitch

If one day I could define the word "experimental" it would be defined by this album. It's incredible complex, nostalgic, white. It's glitchy, corrupted. I won't probably find a nice review for this album, I googled it and haven't found any one. But I recommend it very hard. The first music, empire, it's one of a kind.

Try it out. Unfortunately I have found this album on my old music HD and can't remember where I had found it in the past.
