Aphex Twin "Come to Daddy" (1997)

LP (NEW) - Vinyl, Warp Records, UK, 2012, WAP94, 801061909413, 12" Vinyl, 45RPM, Reissue

Come to Daddy is an EP released by Aphex Twin aka Richard James in 1997. The work has been interpreted by some as a sly send-up of the Prodigy's massive hit "Firestarter." If that's the case, it only goes to show how clever Aphex Twin really is. Built around an intense drum loop and a deliriously demented, booming voice yelling "Come to Daddy!," the track could be the biggest sonic assault James has ever constructed, and even with the underlying menace, it remains one of his most accessible and memorable songs. The 33.25 minute long EP is filled out with several "Come to Daddy" remixes that reveal subtleties in the main track, plus a few tracks like "Flim" that show Aphex still capable of the gorgeous, fragile melodies of his early ambient work.
