AFX
AFX, Hangable Auto Bulb
LP, Warp
This is pretty cool: Fast-paced, with broken beats and ever
changing textures along with a sort of minor interval quasi-
sadness about it. Actually, it's quite frenetic and well
suited to dancing for those who are untroubled by breaks and
changes.
Another thing I liked about it was the full spread of
sound from the tops to the bottoms. This gives a nice wide
open feel that contrasts nicely with the minor intervals
and vaguely dark feel of the notes themselves. The textures
used include FX-laden drum sounds, synth, and occasionally,
voice.
The fact is, this CD is ten years old. This was Richard D. James's
(aka Aphex Twin) first flutter with breaks and the original releases
had become very rare and sought after by collectors. So, here's
a second chance.
(Dr Boots)
