It has been a while since I posted a proper, hastily-recorded mix. This one is imbued with Japanese themes [robots/technology/ramen/harajuku/geisha/etc.] and spans the last three decades of electronic dance music. I recommend preparing yourself some quality sashimi and chilled sake as a fitting accompaniment.

Here's my chance to post something about Aphex Twin without really having to say anything new about Aphex Twin. Probably not too many people are aware of this [except maybe bleep-loving robots who were techno-logized in the late 80's/early 90's], but Aphex Twin once was comprised of two people - Richard D. James and his "twin" Tom Middleton, both of whom share the same birthday. The only material released jointly was the very first Analogue Bubblebath, of which Tom helped produce half of the four tracks. The two quickly parted ways and the rest is IDM history.

Tom released his first solo material under the name Schizophrenia at about the same time [1991] Analog Bubblebath came out. He then went on to team up with Mark Pritchard to form Global Communication, Reload, Link, Jedi Knights, and Chameleon before again releasing his own material.

Of the two mixes on the 12" put out by Mighty Force Records, this is the one without the vocal stylings of MC Musclehead and Crystal Tips (be thankful I didn't post that mix].

Hardcore, You Know the Score!
