Phloam (Cr7e Version)Its just too easy to make a standard dance track, Aphex Twin said of his mindset back in 1992. Youve got to put a bit of thought into it to get something a bit different.Didgeridoo was released on the Belgian R&S Records label in 1992, and originally peaked at #55 in the UK singles chart in May of that year. Over the last 32 years the track has become one of the essential Aphex Twin tracks in a gargantuan catalogue that continues to amaze and inspire.I wanted to have some tracks to play to finish the raves I used to play in Cornwall, to really kill everybody off so they couldnt dance, Richard D James, AKA Aphex, told Select magazine back in the 90s. Digeridoo came out of that.Released as a 4 track EP that also included early Aphex productions (now classics) including the industrial, acidic clang of Flap Head and hyperbolic futurism of Isopropanol, the release cemented a relationship with the R&S label that went on to release the Xylem Tube EP and the pivotal album Selected Ambient Works 85-92 in the same year. The labels owner & A&R Renaat Vandepapeliere reflected When I first heard Aphex Twins music I said, This is it!, and everybody else said, Youre crazy! a lot of the hardcore R&S fans dropped us. To them it wasnt music.Didgeridoo (Expanded Edition) is the first time the EP has been re-issued with extra material. Whilst digging in his DAT archive (allegedly stored in an airtight military ammo box), Richard James revisited the recordings, encoding them through a Nakamichi CR7e cassette deck, using the customised deck with vari-speed to encode at speeds felt right at the time. Alongside these CR7e versions, the original mixes have been remastered by Beau Thomas at Ten Eight Seven Mastering, offering a dilated insight into one of electronic musics most endearing releases.Didgeridoo (Expanded Edition) by Aphex Twin is available on R&S Records from 31st May 2024
