Description
Undoubtedly one of the most important and influential electronic artists to have emerged in popular music, the sonic misfit from Cornwall, the Aphex Twin, released a breathtaking slew of early singles and albums from 1991 onwards (and continues to present day). The first clutch of groundbreaking works came on the legendary Belgium label R&S Records and were collected on a compilation album Classics, released in 1995, and followed the global success of the timeless album Selected Ambient Works 85-92.
Digeridoo was released on the R&S Records label in 1992 and originally peaked at #55 in the UK singles chart in May of that year. Over the last 33 years the track has become one of the essential Aphex Twin tracks in a gargantuan catalogue that continues to amaze and inspire. 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 Classics album features both the Digeridoo and Xylem Tube EP singles, plus Analogue Bubblebath 1, Metapharstic (originally released on the album Mayday – A New Chapter Of House And Techno ’92), two Aphex remixes of Mescalinum Uniteds We Have Arrived from 1992 and Digeridoo (Live In Cornwall, 1990).
