Bleep

With all the bizarre and beguiling releases in tow, this is the release that preceded 1995’s equally seminal ...I Care Because You Do. Named after an asthma-combatting drug which led many to experience tinnitus, Richard D James turned in a number of remixes of Ventolin himself and so did Luke Vibert and Cylob. The distorted techno blueprints and testing tinnitus-inspired ringing stays at the centre for the most part but the reinterpretations show the dexterity and adeptness of James’ production skills and the versatility of his work. For Aphex followers, this material is essential.
