Bleep

This 12”, released as part of Warp’s thirtieth birthday series, presents one of Aphex Twin’s sessions for the John Peel show. Taped in 1995, a point where Richard D. James’ stock was arguably at its highest, these are four masterful pieces of prime-time Aphex fare. Across the EP James moves between slow-motion IDM (‘Slo Bird Whistle’) and slamming techno (‘p-string’). The ‘Original Mix’ of Selected Ambient Works Volume II is probably the most noteworthy inclusion.
