S.o.t.D. – Polynomial C – Aphex Twin


While ostensibly “cold” electronic music, I find a lot of what Richard James creates to be some of the most emotionaly rich music I’ve ever heard. This just evokes such great memories for me. I brought a few tapes with me travelling around in South East Asia in 1993, one of which was a tape that a friend gave me just before I left. This was one of the tracks on there. Heading out in the middle of the night to climb to the top of a volcano in central Sumatra, getting to the top and being greeted by an amazing view, clouds swirling around, by myself, enjoying a delicious post climb aperitif, and listening to this. Oh yeah!
