From the opening line "I Want Your Soul!" - this album makes some serious statements. The opening track is full of anger, fast cuts, and heavy breakbeats. On arrival at track 2, the extreme nature of this mini album becomes clear, the soft, flowing analogue nature of "Flim" is in stark contrast to the assault that is Track 1. On Progressing through the album your ears are treated to awesome experimentation of sound, changing and evolving all the time, heavy and soft, hard and harsh - all at once, in a contradictive way. Funny Little Man needs a mention as perhaps one of the strangest tunes I have ever heard, For those with the determination to sit out the heavy stuff... The final track IZ-US is excellent - purposeful, rhythmic and laid back. Almost Aphex Twin at its best.

Before I bought this album I had only ever heard three Aphex tracks. One of those tracks was Come to Daddy and I purchased this album on the strength of that awsome song. The rest of the album did not dissapoint.
While Come to Daddy is the main attraction here and probably the best track, the rest of the album is not to be overlooked. Every single song is brilliant, especially the last one, which in my opinion is just as good as Come to Daddy and the other major reason for buying this album.
The tracks on this album are evil, beautiful, twisted, terrifying and wonderful all at once. This is brilliant and I am definitly going to be buying more Aphex Twin stuff.

Coming after the "Donkey Rhubarb" and before "Windowlicker" this is the 2nd in 3 legendery EP's released by Aphex Twin. Rather then releasing a studio album, EP's were made instead and while there is less material the quality is no worse then most studio albums. You could buy this one for "Come To Daddy" & "Flim" and forget about the rest. They represent 2 completely different sides of Aphex Twin. "Come To Daddy" is a death-metal/industrial riff with scary lyrics and one of the most famous music videos along with it. "Flim" is a lot softer and is one of Aphex Twin's best tracks. Short, sweet and beautiful it stands out.
Admittedly you could say the rest is all a joke by Aphex Twin at our expense. But what a joke it is. Bucephelus Bouncing Ball & Iz Us are also worth listening too. All in all not his best but worth 5 stars purely for the 1st 2 tracks.

Awesome
Simply astounding, a mixture of fascinating and degrading! If you like this, try the sublime Ontayso/Tim Koch release 'Where have you been'?. Fantastic
