Aphex Twin – Digeridoo EP
Aphex Twin's first outing on the legendary R&S label, and despite the lo-fi production there's no denying Digeridoo is an absolute monster.

Analogue Bubblebath 2 is where we first encounter Digeridoo, one of Aphex Twin's most notorious early tracks.
µ-Ziq – Scurlage (2021) – Album Review
It’s characteristic of the album as a whole, and in fact much of µ-Ziq’s discography - that Mike Paradinas' best moments come when he plays it a bit lighter and doesn’t overcomplicate things.
Ten of the best – 1996

Global Goon – Cradle of History
Global Goon - Cradle of History (1998 - Rephlex) Like many people (I imagine), I first encountered Global Goon on the excellent, Braindance Coincidence. A compilation celebrating 10 years of Rephlex Records and their boundless, eclectic, debonair genre: braindance.
