Digeridoo is the first EP from Richard D. James under his now well-known nickname "Aphex Twin". All songs from both releases were re-released on the Classics compilation. "Digeridoo" was previously released under the AFX nickname as "Digeridoo (Aboriginal Mix)" on Analogue Bubblebath 2.

Besides the massively well known title track, this seminal Aphex release contains some awesome classic industrial techno from RDJ. Flaphead is a track that contains some of the same drum patterns used in SAW 85-92's final track Actium, however the similarities end there. A brutal 4/4 warehouse style assault gives birth to a ferocious acid beast that rides alongside spooky pads until it is screaming at full force, yet never overpowering the percussive attack. Phloam begins with an elastic electropulse which pairs up with a dirty industro-breakbeat. After a short while, some Aphex pads once again show up and reveal the melodic potential of the percussion - this is the essence of superior industrial technique; controlling the pitch and tone of each noise to create a symphony out of klings and klangs. Halfway through, the track goes electrostatic (in reference to the Plastikman b-side of Krakpot which shows up one year later). This record won't run you a fortune these days, grab yourself a copy if you haven't already and watch people wig out when they hear these under-represented jams.

Info:
These are not my rips but were from torrents downloaded years ago, so info about the technical details are sketchy. I have included all the information included in the original torrents but even this seems to be second hand. These are by no means 'audiophile' quality rips, but they do sound pretty good, and I think they do a good job of representing an an artist who prefers to present his work on vinyl. Download them and give them a listen.
