Aphex Twin – Collapse EP – 12″

Warp

Aphex Twin aka “The Duke Of Rave and The God of Electronic Music” (depending which time of night it is) returns once again with the Collapse EP, a five tracker hailing from the underground. Its five tunes chew up notions of exhilaration with life-affirming abundance, high hats and sauntering arrangements, brain-scrambling noise and much much more, all cloaked in an absolutely jaw-clenching sleeve design from Weirdcore.

Since returning to the electronic shores with “Syro” way back when, Aphex Twin has answered many a million prayers from us, you and the masses who make up a certain online forum by gifting us with slab after slab of Braindancing excitement. While the recent years run of live shows have seen him slicing and dicing the freshest lazer-guided melodies from artists including Mark Fell & Gabor Lazar, Jlin, Kamixlo and Lanark Artefax, it would appear that the “Collapse EP” is the Aphex Twin spin on the post-genre, everything goes, electronic inter(net)underground… Basically this is an amazing and properly fresh record from one of the true pioneers of the hypnotic groove.
