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 :)

whistling!

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

look at the bottom left corner of the cover, where it says
'expert knob twiddlers'

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

mike looks like a geek on the cover. nice album, though... I
have the vinyl version of this one with the bonus 7" and the
bumper stickers.

intro-riff and beat are the best and most memorable, I
think... )

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.
