Chroniques et points de vue::Whether it's Caustic or Polygon Window, AFX, or just plain Richard James, the man known as Aphex Twin always writes dream-inspired music. Not pleasant, running though a field of flowers dreams, but dark, paranoid, and haunting nightmares. The third instalment of
Analogue Bubblebath is no exception, and continues in the same demented direction as previous volumes. Describing individual tracks this time around is more difficult than usual, as each track is given a (seemingly) random serial number rather than a traditional title. The only exception is 'AFX 6/b', an ambient, electro number that tweets, chirps, and hums with mechanical inspiration. 0ther tracks range from the sound of stuck machine cogs mixed with phaser fire to scratchy minimal techno to gurgling guttural noises. This is frightening but inspired. --

it all started with this LP
Just great. I am a fan of his music for quite a while and all of his records are special in their own way. Tracks with a little twist only RDJ can add. Sometimes a bit sinister, but thats ok for me! Most of his tracks are sertainly refreshing and energy boosting. A philosopher teacher once said: "to enjoy and appreciate the quality of sertain aspects (of whatsoever) you have to have rotten spots besides it". In case of some of the tracks ("ventolin" (medicine for asthmatic patiens) for example in which you hear a sample of a person hyperventilating), annoying bleeps, cracks and sounds are added in such way that when they fade away in a track you almost feel a releef....a contrast between serenety and rotten (no offence)

creativity at its best!
amazing, i love the song "Entrance to Exit" as it feels like a Tornado is consuming your very presense. The molody creates a fast merry go round tornado effect that sweeps you away.

* Great cd ...
Well i've owned this cd for a while now and i would have to say that its one of the best i own. Its only problem is its length. Its really short. Either way the tracks are good. The best in my opinion would have to be "Enterance To Exit". Its such an awesome song! WEll all i can say is this: if you like aphex twin then you should own this album. Its great!

This EP was one of AFX's first commercially available efforts. In his early days, Richard was the embodiment of a bedroom producer, and so the sound quality of this EP release isn't the best. Nevertheless, this CD-single displays the unique abilities of AFX, and it's great fun to listen. The title track is one of his gentler ventures, an acid house track with bubbling water noises (of course!) and delicate harmonies. The combination of harsh beats and psychedelic melodies is also featured here, as "Iso.." demonstrates. The furious rhythms and distorted vocal samples of "Entrance.." prefigure the metal/techno-crossover sound of "Come to daddy". "AFX2" is a typical ambient-techno number which would easily fit onto "Selected ambient works 1". Nevertheless, I think this EP will remain an item for completists. The title track and "Iso.." are featured on Aphex Twin's "Classics", a collection of early hardcore tracks. "Entrance.." was also available on "Wasted", a compilation of unreleased material from the likes of Autechre, The Orb, and Underworld.

* RDJ, love him or hate him.... ...
"~Well, I love him!"~ repetative beat, but just enough alteration of sound to keep it interresting... by the end of the song, it's something completely new. got enough of them)
