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

Richard David James (born 18 August 1971), known professionally as Aphex Twin, is a British musician, composer, and DJ who has been active in electronic music since 1988. His work incorporates a variety of styles, including techno, ambient, acid, and jungle. He is often associated with the intelligent dance music (IDM) genre. Several publications such as Mixmag, The New York Times, NME, Fact, Clash, and The Guardian have recognized him as an influential figure in contemporary electronic music.
James was raised in Cornwall and began DJing at free parties and clubs in the South West of England in the late 1980s. His debut EP, "Analogue Bubblebath," was released in 1991 on Mighty Force Records and helped him gain an early following. He then performed across the UK and Europe. In the same year, he co-founded the independent label Rephlex Records. His debut album, "Selected Ambient Works 85–92," released in 1992 by the Belgian label Apollo, received critical and popular attention. James signed with Warp Records later that year and released albums including "...I Care Because You Do" (1995) and "Richard D. James Album" (1996). He also released singles such as "Come to Daddy" (1997) and "Windowlicker" (1999), both accompanied by music videos directed by Chris Cunningham, which expanded his international presence.
Following the release of "Drukqs" in 2001 and the completion of his Warp contract, James released music through Rephlex Records, including the 2005 "Analord" EP series under the alias AFX and two releases in 2007 under the name the Tuss. In 2014, he released a previously unreleased 1994 album as Caustic Window. Later that year, he returned as Aphex Twin with the album "Syro" on Warp Records, which won the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album. Subsequent releases include the EPs "Cheetah" (2016) and "Collapse" (2018). His 2023 single "Blackbox Life Recorder 21f" was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Recording.
