Over the last 32 years the track has become one of the essential Aphex Twin tracks in a gargantuan catalogue that continues to amaze and inspire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I wanted to have some tracks to play to finish the raves I used to play in Cornwall, to really kill everybody off so they couldn't dance,\" Richard D James told Select magazine back in the '90s. \"Digeridoo came out of that.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased as a 4 track EP that also included early Aphex productions (now classics) including the industrial, acidic clang of \"Flap Head\" and hyperbolic futurism of \"Isopropanol,\" the release cemented a relationship with the R\u0026amp;S label that went on to release the \u003cem\u003eXylem Tube\u003c\/em\u003e EP and the pivotal album \u003cem\u003eSelected Ambient Works 85-92\u003c\/em\u003e in the same year. The label's owner and A\u0026amp;R Renaat Vandepapeliere reflected \"When I first heard Aphex Twin's music I said, 'This is it!' and everybody else said, 'You're crazy!' ... a lot of the hardcore R\u0026amp;S fans dropped us. To them, it wasn't music.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDigeridoo (Expanded Edition)\u003c\/em\u003e is the first time the EP has been re-issued with extra material. Whilst digging in his DAT archive (allegedly stored in an airtight military ammo box), James revisited the recordings, encoding them through a Nakamichi CR7e cassette deck, using the customised deck with vari-speed to encode at speeds \"felt right at the time.\" Alongside these CR7e versions, the original mixes have been remastered by Beau Thomas at Ten Eight Seven Mastering, offering a dilated insight into one of electronic music's most endearing releases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"R\u0026S","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48426885972166,"sku":"jmr1793065981670","price":21.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/7338\/7974\/files\/aphex-twin---digeridoo-expanded-edition-2x12_1.jpg?v=1793066020","url":"https:\/\/multitoolgear.shop\/products\/aphex-twin-digeridoo-expanded-edition-2x12","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
