Most dissapointing purchase ever!

Mike and Rich. "Expert knob twiddlers"

Bought this today to complete my Mu-ziq/Aphex collections,
and it's fucking awful. I was expecting 10 tracks of
groundbreaking drill and bass madness. Why Rephlex bothered
releasing this turd of an album I'll never know.

Sorry this time you're wrong.

How about " Mr. Frosty" the first track?

I like it. Nothing special but I enjoyed it.

It's just awful novelty music. Mr Frost is the least shit I
suppose. The sound quality is awful too.

Jesus, even Richard James himself said it was poor because
they were both pised and drugged u when they made it. If
you had just read a little before blindly buying.

I would have thought the fact that it didn't contain
oxymoronic "groundbreaking drill and bass" would have been a
blessed fucking relief. I like "Expert knob twiddlers"
because it sounds like it was recorded onto a extra cheap
C-120 tape that'd been left on Dicky's radiator ALL winter.

Not oxymoronic in 1996. Obviously now it's gotten old.

eggy toast off of EKT is a cool song

most disappointing purchase ever though was Aleamapper by
richard devine. was not at all what i was expecting and i
only regularly listen to 2 or 3 songs on there.

But, isn't drill & bass novelty at this point?

Yea... I agree with what this guy said...

It wasn't a novelty in 1996, it was cutting edge. This is
the year "To cure a weakling child" came out.

I'll agree with that. The style would have been very
interesting back then...
