Rare Aphex Twin Album Reissued.


AFX - Hangable Auto Bulb is a new/old rerelease of Richard D Jame's work pre-aphex twin. There was only ever 1000 vinyls of the original ever released and now it is being put out as a single album. If you are unfamiliar with Aphex Twin or Richard D James, I can catch you up really quick. The music is profoundly strange in a wonderful way, you cant use words to describe the sounds that Richard D James, in one of his many personalities, creates. As the article in the link says this album title is an anagram for one of his other albums Analogue Bubblebath, as is one of the tracks on the album called Laughable Butane Bob. I assure you this isnt the strangest thing about this guy. This announcement is exciting and I for one consider his music to be the soundtrack for such hypothetical events as shaving a persian kitten in a room full of ball bearings, it just sets the mood perfectly. From what I understand it is actually about mashed potatoes.
