Aphex Twin – Come to Daddy (1997)

August 24, 2023

Come To Daddy is quite possibly my favourite Aphex Twin release. Perhaps there is some coincidence there with it also being my first purchase of one of his releases, but this thing is almost completely flawless. Over the years I must have heard this EP about 500 million times (slightly overstating it there), but I have never gotten sick or tired of any of the songs here.

Speaking of which, they are all fantastic. From the title track and the various different takes on such, to the more chilled out “Flim” or “IZ-US” the one about the bouncing ball, which was my favourite Aphex Twin tune for a long, long time – you just can’t go wrong here. Personally, I think this might be the best place to start with the Aphex Twin discography.
