" Aphex Twin 's 'Didgeridoo' was released on the Belgian label R&S Records in 1992, and originally peaked at #55 in the UK singles chart in May of that year. Over the last 32 years the track has become one of the essential Aphex Twin tracks in a gargantuan catalog that continues to amaze and inspire. 'I wanted to have some tracks to play to finish the raves I used to play in Cornwall, to really kill everybody off so they couldn't dance,' Richard D James, aka Aphex Twin, told Select magazine back in the 90's. 'Digeridoo came out of that.' Released as a 4-track EP that also included early Aphex productions (now classics) including the industrial, acidic clang of 'Flap Head' and hyperbolic futurism of 'Isopropanol', the release cemented a relationship with the R&S label that went on to release the 'Xylem Tube' EP and the pivotal album ' Selected Ambient Works 85-92 ' in the same year. 'Didgeridoo' (Expanded Edition) is the first time the EP has been re-issued with extra material. Whilst digging in his DAT archive (allegedly stored in an airtight military ammo box), Richard James revisited the recordings, encoding them through a Nakamichi CR7e cassette deck, using the customized deck with vari-speed to encode at speeds which 'felt right at the time.' Alongside these CR7e versions, the original mixes have been remastered by Beau Thomas at Ten Eight Seven Mastering, offering a dilated insight into one of electronic music's most endearing releases." - R&S * Aphex Twin's classic 1992 EP, expanded w/ previously-unheard alternate takes * black double vinyl pressing (please note: actual pressing color and packaging may differ from mock-up photo) * remastered audio * first time on vinyl in 20+ years * limited edition * tracklist: A1.
