Just wanted to add a few more words to the review of this great album.
Something was mentioned about how it wasnt really an Aphex album, or
words to that effect. I think that EKT's is still very much in the
vein of they have both been doing in the past but coming from certain
areas of their past music. For example, RDJ seems to be coming from
the kind of humour found on the Ventolin b-sides - and take a look at
that cheesy grin of his on the cover, still reminds me of a review I
read which described him with the new beard on ICBYD as a cross
between the child catcher from Chitty Chitty bang bang and dudley
moore, or something like that!
Upright Kangaroo made me laugh the most I have done on my own for
some time. The unexpected sample of bodily emittances sent me reeling.
Bu Bu Bu Ba - is kind of touching but with a slightly disturbing baby
noise which gives way to a kind of beautiful end.
I think the only problem with this album is that it may come to be
seen as a bit of a novelty album but I am pleased with it. I mean, it
could have gone completely the other way and received the mind fuck
of the century - Mr Angry/Ventolin...
Just my two pennies...
