Title Note

HANGABLE AUTO BULB compiles 2 volumes of the previously vinyl-only EPs, originally released in 1995.

Recording information: 1995.

Released a few months after 1995's I CARE BECAUSE YOU DO, Aphex Twin's two vinyl-only HANGABLE AUTO BULB EPs (presented under the alias AFX) became highly sought-after collectibles for electronica fans. In 2005, the Warp label celebrated the 10th anniversary of these EPs by compiling them into a single reissue release that proved to be nothing short of a revelation.

The collected eight tracks on HANGABLE AUTO BULB share some degree of sonic similarity with I CARE, but Aphex Twin (AKA British techno iconoclast Richard D. James) leaves behind gratingly harsh noise (a la "Ventolin"), and focuses on mixing wildly skittering beats with strangely alluring melodies. On the hypnotizing opener, "Children Talking," rhythms slide around playfully like an air-hockey puck beneath the sampled voices of a child and an adult discussing mashed potatoes. The title track excels at what has been dubbed "drill-and-bass," with spare keyboard lines gliding over synthetic staccato beats, while "Every Day" anchors itself to a wonderfully distorted melody. This material points directly toward the acclaimed RICHARD D. JAMES ALBUM and Aphex Twin's equally inventive subsequent outings (COME TO

DADDY and WINDOWLICKER), making it indispensable for aficionados of adventurous electronica.
