Aphex Twin: Come To Daddy Vinyl 12″

The Come To Daddy 12″ from 1997, again featuring a twisted Chris Cunningham cover, is one of my favorite Aphex singles released on Warp (the Rephlex ones are still the best). A funhouse of styles and emotional responses here, first with the potent adrenaline rush of “Pappy Mix” juxtaposed with the gorgeousness of “Flim” and polished off with the incredible breakbeat-possessed child track “Bucephalus Bouncing Ball.” This is why Mr. James is sweated.
