the gak ep is very old aphex, possibly some of his oldest released tracks.

like a lot of the old stuff, its a bit repetitive

edit:

From Diskogs:

"Retrieved from Warp Archives 1990"

"The backstory behind this is that RDJ sent it into Warp (before he was signed) under the name "GAK". After he was signed, they pulled it out of the archives and released it."

... so RDJ would have been about 18 or 19 when he did GAK.

i like his old shit quite a bit... yeah I'm gonna pick this up and a few Polygon tunes I'm missing.

yeah i like this EP, there are only 4 tracks but 4 coolest tracks!! and they sound more aphex twin than afx/caustic window/polygon window/etc.

i forgot what's the track sounds jazzy, but one sounds as it, it's my favorite! ;-)

i've always associated gak with nasty (good) sticky base whizz (amphetamine)

the gak ep is ace

i've always heard that gak was the japanese word for meth. also, refer to the motion picture The Salton Sea with character-actor Val Kilmer.

What are the odds Lily Allen likes GAK (the album)-

from answer.com

"she listened to everything from T. Rex, the Specials, and the Slits to the Happy Mondays and drum'n'bass, and even ran away to see the Glastonbury Festival when she was 14....When asked by the NME how she would celebrate if her debut single, Smile, got to Number 1 in the UK charts, she responded "gak" (a slang term for cocaine). She immediately said that she was joking, but the "gak" remark was widely quoted in the tabloid press. "

GAK is cocaine yes and its a reference i knew before i knew about the RDJ tracks, also known Beak, also known as ching / chang, etc etc......

The GAK ep is awesome only really heard it about a year or two ago and its quality techno

Tell it, you geezer!

GAK = Guitar And Keyboard, a shop RDJ used to get his musical gear from back in the day...

I know Lily tomlin loves this ep, ( I guess she used to play it to annoy David Russell) but do you think Lily Allen does ?
