This is Richard D James' paragon achievement in terms of technical accuracy. This is shown right from the offset as the first track on the album, the aptly titled 'Acrid Avid Jam Shred' puts the listener in their place about what kind of album this is- effortlessly mathematical; allegedly RDJ did not use any mathematical caclulations as other IDM artists have done in the past to create such works, but this album still emanates excellence despite this. The other tracks on the album are similar in tone and style. However, do not be put off by this record's will to stray away from the usual Aphex 'Formula' (ahem). Jokes aside, this album takes some listening in order for enjoyment to be gleaned from it. I think of it as being similar in tone to classical score- it takes some effort in order to appreciate it, but when you have acknowledged the uniqueness that lies within, you certainly will not think the 'appreciation time' a waste.Read full review
It takes a few listens to appreciate the quality of the recordings on here but it's well worth your time in doing so. I advise you check out the numerous tracks on You Tube to see if this is what your looking for as it's no "Selected Ambient Works" or "Classics" but another dimension to the music of Aphex Twin that gives this listener an experience i know will continue to impress further more each listen as there's so much to take on board.
