I really like the humor behind this release. The cover is a great example of that.
Overall there are a lot of fantastic tracks on this release. From "eggy Toast" to "mr frosty" and "winner takes all" and ending with "bu bu bu ba"
It's nice to toss in every now and again while having a pint.
4.0/5.0

It's not bad. It sometimes sounds bit unfinished. Good track names :)

Not overly impressed by it. Mr. Frosty stands out as one of the best tracks on that album though.

just listened to this release. i would call it the biggest hoax ever :P
...if i wouldn't know that it's official. very interesting release !
i'm just curious how two artist's with such different styles could make an album that's completely different from EVERYTHING they did !

The cover art combined with the first song is so great. It has some really weird old 50's rock sound or something to some of the tracks, like Jellyfish, which I also like. Pretty good, but not the greatest

That's the name of the game they stole the graphic from. In an interview Mike P. said that the name of the album was actually self-titled i.e. Mike and Rich. I would link you to the article but watmm is down.

It is a good album, in the discography here there isnt a listing for the CD or the 2xlp? Oh well... just picked this one up as well.... its pretty strange and stands out on its own in a weird way.

sadist: you don't see the similarity between makes a racket / melodies from mars fused on this album
which , by the way, pigeon st...is actually called expert knob twiddlers by mike and rich...the game the sleeve is a parody of is actually called downfall you flid
oh and this album totally owns everything (fuckwad)
but i guess if you got into AFX via MTV and NIN then you have no chance in life

this is a pretty good listen, its wierd. i would say its for those special occasions when youre sick of the more serious music aphex does - sometimes you just want to screw with yourself

i'm going to have to agree, and i'm going to have to disagree.
i'm convinced that if this album did not feature the brand names, very few people would be interested and this album would be long forgotten. if it was a blank cover, was called "knobs" by "two guys" and released on kwerk-E records it'd be completely under the radar.
it's got some high points but overall it's a pretty dull, uninspired affair.
great artwork, though...
it's not terrible, but i own thousands of better records so why bother listening to it? except mr frosty, that's going into a dj set tonight.
