Every time I hear this after a long break from not hearing it, I realize that this type of music by aphex is the best "music" music there is IMO. It's the best thing to study to know how to do it right. He is a genuine master at his craft. I've heard the album numerous times before so I can finally start to pick it apart mentally without being overwhelmed by it all hitting together at once. What it is is very much a sum of parts. Initially it's hard to notice (for me) because I see the grand whole all at once. But when new parts come in, you can hear the old parts continue in the background. They add to the new parts but you barely notice they're the same. This is probably obvious... and how conventional tracks are most often made even, but I guess everything happens so fast and uh, profoundly interwoven that it's nice to make any sense of how one could possibly go about creating something like this. I was mostly concentrating on listening to the melody this time. He is a fantastic melody writer. The melody in these tracks is some of the best I've ever heard anywhere. There's the obvious melody in the front, but there's probably two more melodic parts hidden somewhere in the fabric that you don't notice at first, and are probably almost hard to single out until you find them. Even track.. um 4, well the bouncing ball one sounds fantastic when you concentrate on the subtler melody. bla. |

he's probably the most complete (melodies, drum programing...) artist in the electronic scene. imo come to daddy is a fantastic ep! |

Do you all think this release is underrated just because its the most mainstream release? |

I like it best when combined with the video. Especially when the aphex youngsters are rattling the metalfence in concordance with the drumbeat. Lush stuff. Still my vote for best musicvideo ever. Cunningham really should do a fullblown movie some day. Like neuromancer for example :( |

i like the part in the video when its showing some buildings and the video seems to mess up and fade out a little bit, and goes with the music exactly. |

i don't think it's underrated...actually i think it attracted many people into aphex twin...even many on this mb. |

I agree, it's what got me into aphex twin. i saw the video on mtv in the middle of the night back in 97' first aphex twin cd i bought, shit changed my life |

Yes no doubt about it tolstoyed, I for one was introduced to idm through Come to Daddy. However, I do think Come to Daddy is overshadowed by his other releases...SAWII, RDJ Album, Drukqs. At least, I hear more praise for those albums than Come to Daddy. |

Prior to CTD, mentioning Aphex resulted in blank stares & "never heard of them"(sic)... |
||||||||
|

|
|
hmm, could be...it'd be nice to see how much we talked about either of those releases on this board. and im one of those who like drukqs the most...but i also love come to daddy. |
||||||||
|

|
|
yes, i have same experience about it...ctd is probably the most famous track from aphex, well maybe 2nd famous after windowlicker. |

i never really liked the opening track. the voice ruined it for me. the rest of the ep is amazing though, with the except of funny little man. |
||||||||
|

funny little man is one of the creepiest songs ive ever heard. |

oops, I was referring to the album not the track. In fact, I tend to skip that track. Stuff like the contour regard mix really applies to what I was talking about. Aphex positions stuff really well in time, plus knows just which notes to use.. even weird sounds not necessarily notes. |

come to daddy is often overlooked i think because it is the most commercial release he did I think.. maybe RDJ album is too... both classic... come2daddy is a fav of mine.. er one of my favs. |
