Aphex Twin Mike & Rich - Expert Knob Twiddlers

ten!

I love the whole cover art as well... poorly masked Richard with white border is hilarious. I agree totally with Josso about the warm and alive feeling. Some of µ's single stuff doesn't have it for me.

That just made me laugh:

one thing I find interesting is that Vodka seems to use every drum sample used on Melodies from mars...

yeah and some of the synths too

The Sound of Beady Eyes is smoother than Johnny Gill.

Mike and Rich best to worst then?

Lets see,

Upright Kangaroo

Jelly Fish

Mr Frosty

Winner Takes All

Giant Deflating Football

Eggy toast

bu bu bu ba

Reg

Vodka

The Sound of beady Eyes

shocked to find not even a thread to appreciate this (duh, there's a whole subforum)

still

winner takes all

i never noticed the voices on giant deflating football before

Best album of all time. If Voyager had happened a bit later, this would have been on the golden disk.

Don't forget this one too! Posted on the web after release, I really hope there's a better quality version floating around than just the 64kbps one :)

Maybe included on the potential reissue of EKT?

nice find! Looks promising. "New"

top 5 albums of all time

vodka is such a perfectly named track, that track just feels drunk... makes you wanna stumble around stupidly even if you're sober

I own this album but am embarrassed to say I haven't listened to it that much.

Do I need to redress that?

yes

Then go listen to the aphex modular tracks again

It would be pretty sweet if they re-did the cover to model after 'New Downfall'. Call it Michael & Richard

Discussion is happening here : http://forum.watmm.com/topic/90965-mike-rich-album-turned-20-years-old-planet-mu-reissue/

Listening to this for the first time in years. Soooo good. Criminally underrated. Are there any u-ziq albums that have a similar vibe? I'm not familiar with any of mike's catalog, embarrassed to say.

Ban yourself.

Wtf Lane.

(p sure EKT is 80% Mike P. Honestly just discogs search Paradinas and get every release under his various monikers).
