The Aphex Twin – Analogue Bubblebath
It’s like the old saying about buses… you wait and wait for one to come along and then two turn up at the same time.
And for this one we’re going way back… to 1991, way before “The Twin” became a household name (well, in selected households at least), and an absolute beauty of a track taken from his very first release on Exeter’s Mighty Force records. (There were a few re-issues in 1993-94, following the success of the Selected Ambient Works LP.)
I can honestly say they just don’t make them like this any more, and it’s a shame…
I could rant here about how the “best of 2010” lists that currently abound are populated by music that I would variously label self-indulgent, directionless, joyless and overly-abrasive… In fact I just deleted a long paragraph doing just like that, naming names along the way.
But instead of dwelling on the negative, why don’t we just sit back and enjoy the majesty of Analogue Bubblebath once more? OK then, lovely. File Download (4:40 min / 11 MB)
