#1552 Aphex Twin - Computer Controlled Accoustic Instruments pt2 EP

Does what it says on the tin!

I've always rather liked Aphex Twin's accoustic side, mostly flashed in the crannies of Drukqs. This is warm, rich, inventive stuff, packed with analog detail splattered out in alien patterns (tracks 1 and 4 are highlights in completely different ways). All a bit small, all a curiosity, a knicknack, a clever device that whirs by unseen strings, uncanny clattering and scrabbling that draws you in with hazy trepidation.

Not altogether listenable as actual music under any real circumstances, but completely worth hearing once if you have any interest in experimental music of any kind 3.5/5
