HIGHLY recommended. But don't take my word for it, aphex sure can pick him. By reading his interviews, I've found out about squarepusher and now cylob. This is one of my new favorite artists. It's a nintendoish ep of happy songs that sound like they were made by a lobster dj. The sounds are weird melodies like funny little man only without vocals. There is a, however, a very short track at the end of the cd where he makes a little annoying commercial about calling some number, just for fun, and it had funny vocals. I also bought squarepushers go plastic, but that album is sucky compared to cylob's.

Lobster tracks isn't cylob's best work. Get Living IN the 1980's single, and cylobian sunset.

I wonder if he had that OTHER track on his answering machine... "Hello, you have reached the premium UK gay chat line. To begin using this service please leave your name after the beep." (cheesy commercial jingle included)
I also goy cylobian sunset, it was on backorder. I didn't really go for living in the 1980's, it's a completely different style.
One thing he does in lobster tracks to make it good, is he composes in "squares". I mean one section will all be similar and then another section that is a bit different from the previous section will be put after. It's sudden change, not gradual like autechre. Aphex does sudden changes too like in Funny littlt man and "4".

cylob is very good. in an interview with aphex twin, he said cylob was working on some new stuff. i really hope so. if you like cylob, you should check out his other stuff under the name kinesthesia.

THanks, I'll check that out definately. I love this album (lobster tracks) more every time I hear it. It has a nice package too. It's a short and sweet little ep, and the lobster drawings make it feel like that little lobster dude is dj-ing, it's a really cool feel. (I just found out the drawings were made by chris cunningham) That guy gets his artistic mits into all sorts of nooks and crannies, lucky bastard.
