APHEX TWIN - COME TO DADDY
ARTIST:
TITLE:
Come To Daddy
LABEL:
CATNO:
WAP094
FORMAT:
Vinyl record
DESCRIPTION:
Filthy Twisted Electronic Techno Edged Repress
Having dabbled liberally in both the hard and ambient sides of his psyche under a variety of techno monikers, Richard D. James unhinged a bit more of his id for 1997's "Come to Daddy." The song, possibly done as a piss take on the oafish electronica of the Prodigy, leaps out aggressively at the listener with an ultra-distorted synth bass line and James menacingly muttering about wanting "your soul." The Twin was by now an acknowledged master of the skewed and hyperkinetic drum loop, and for "Come to Daddy" he notched the tempo somewhere up near the 200 bpm mark to add to the track's sense of frenzy. Both the vocal and his beat work are periodically stretched and warped through a myriad of digital delays to create the cacophony that James was striving for. Due to his intense secrecy regarding his modus operandi, it's hard to say whether or not James had begun to delve into the world of granular synthesis at this point in his work. But the unique sounds deployed

Last FM Information on Aphex Twin
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Richard David James (born 18 August 1971), best known as Aphex Twin, is an Irish-born British musician, composer and DJ. He is known for his idiosyncratic work in electronic styles such as techno, ambient, and jungle. Journalists from publications including Mixmag, The New York Times, NME, Fact, Clash and The Guardian have called James one of the most influential or important artists in contemporary electronic music.
Raised in Cornwall, James began DJing at free parties and clubs in the area in the late 1980s. His debut EP Analogue Bubblebath, released in 1991 on Mighty Force Records, brought James an early following; he began to perform across the UK and continental Europe. James co-founded the independent label Rephlex Records the same year. His 1992 debut album Selected Ambient Works 85-92, released by Belgian label Apollo, garnered wider critical and popular acclaim. James signed to Warp in 1993 and subsequently released charting albums such as ...I Care Because You Do (1995) and Richard D. James Album (1996), as well as Top 40 singles such as "Come to Daddy" (1997) and "Windowlicker" (1999); the latter two were accompanied by music videos directed by Chris Cunningham and brought James significantly wider international attention.
After releasing Drukqs in 2001 and completing his contract with Warp, James spent several years releasing music on his own Rephlex label, including the 2005 Analord EP series under his AFX alias and a pair of 2007 releases as the Tuss. In 2014, he made available a previously unreleased 1994 LP as Caustic Window. He returned later that year with the Aphex Twin album Syro on Warp, winning the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album. He has since released charting EPs including Cheetah (2016) and Collapse (2018).
