"2001 Aphex Twin single! Released on mystery label Men, first single since the massive 'Windowlicker;. 2 excellent, new percussive/melodic recordings by AFX in the style of AFX. A track 1: 120 bpm / 4? 59" / bears the inscription 'squidged out at the bank by afx'. B track 2: 168 bpm / 6? 30" / cockney raver's voice halfway thru track, recounting his experiences of 'E'. B track 3: bonus high frequency sounds. Vinyl format is a white label 12" in a standard paper innersleeve. There is a sticker on one label and also in the centre/top of the sleeve . Very nice, dj-friendly cut. CD format is a plain CD, with the words '2 remixes by afx' on the disc and a similar sticker to the vinyl format affixed to the centre/top/front of a standard clear plastic album jewel case." This has nothing to do with the "new" post-"Windowlicker" Aphex Twin single as implied above, but instead features classic acid remixes of tracks from 808 State ("Flow Coma") & DJ Pierre. Pure insanity in the spirit of 1988 (anybody who doesn't own Newbuild should go ahead and fall down). Plus a couple minutes of bonus Aphex sine-tones at the end. No packaging, because who fucking needs it.
