8/10. Very sick beats, the synths are wonderful. Aphex at some of his best.

That scream is just immense. Love the drums so much too. I remember loads of the metal heads in the pub I used to work in gong out and buying Come To Daddy on the strength of this track and being totally confused by the rest of the music on the EP. One said me "it's not music, it's just a load of beeps and noises" lol
I saw it as a huge two fingers to what The Prodigy (the "dance" band that metal heads were allowed to like haha) were doing this era (Firestarter etc.).
I also like the Dillinger Ecape plan & Mike Patton cover of this one too. Patton pulled the scream off really well.
I rate it two fingers and a big long angry scream.

7/10
I like the more rhythmic side of James' work just as much as his melodious side, and both kind of rear their heads in this one. It's a great track for sure, but at times feels a little overlong? That's my main problem with a lot of "IDM" tracks, they extend themselves for 5-6 minutes without truly providing enough meat to sustain themselves. Despite that, my submission is;
Pitcard
also y'all mind if I do one of these but for just in general? I like the idea of getting people to just listen to a song and then rating it. Expanding horizons 'n' all that.

Pitcard is tight 7/10. I get bored with it towards the halfway point. but the buildup reminds me of playing sonic the hedgehog.
Yes, I love these type of threads, make a general one.

7/10 I've always felt this track was a tad overrated: nice reverb on the synth and I like how the melody modulates, but the looping break is pretty forgettable for me. Taken in context this was well ahead of its time in 1992.

Classic RDJ melodies and beats for this era. The key change about half way through is ace, but as a whole, I think this track goes on a little too long.
I rate it: ✍/✎

Good tune, but scares the HELL out of me when he bashes that drum really loudly
