- NEW RELEASEARTIST:
TITLE:
Peel Sessions 2
LABEL:
CATNO:
WARPLP300-1
STYLE:
Experimental / IDM /
FORMAT:
Vinyl record
DESCRIPTION:
4 Track EP of IDM & Experimental Downbeat Electronica - Includes Printed Inner Sleeves & Download Code For The Release
One of only two radio sessions Aphex Twin has ever recorded. This Peel Session comprised of all original material at the time. Presented as a complete session and on vinyl for the first time.
Kicking off a tasty set of reissues from long running bastion of UK electronic music - Warp; comes this amazingly futurist Aphex session from 1995. Recorded for the infamous John Peel Sessions, the twelve contains four tracks culled from the session.
Starting with the mutant cosmic disco of "Slo Bird Whistle" which in present day setting seems more than at home alongside the current slew of slow EBM music, albeit rife with AFX's child-on-acid hilarity and discord.
"Radiator" sees that trademark foray into weirdness that would characterize much of this demigod's output through his career. Riddled with disonance, glitchy techno beats and staccato acid squelches, this is self coined 'Cornish acid', true to source.
"P-String" on side B displays his stadium-tickling, sound-art credentials as a pummelling kick and dark string converge on a monster mix that's full of foreboding and tension. Accompanied by the artist's iconic visuals, these are some of the pieces that would make his live show one of the most feverishly adored on the planet.
Finally, we get the stoned, student-bedroom afterparty haze of "Pancake Lizard" which effortlessly drifts off into a chemically induced daydream; gentle strings manipulated against baggy breakbeats and a mid 90s grainy hue.... ahh the good old days.

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.
