R&S Vinilo y CD

Review: ***B-STOCK: Creasing to corner of outer sleeve but otherwise in excellent condition***


Fresh vintage Aphex meat in the shape of this expanded reissue of the classic rave era anthem 'Digeridoo' from 1992. Treated to a modern remastering job by Beau Thomas at Ten Eight Seven Mastering, this double pack features the four tunes on the original 12" - 'Digeridoo', 'Flaphead', 'Phloam' and 'Isoprophlex', as well as bonus versions by Richard D James himself said to be encoded through his Nakamichi CR7e cassette deck, utilising vari-speed to create versions at different speeds which "felt right at the time". The legend is that he wrote the tune to annoy hippies who liked to attend raves and jam with their digeridoos - or digeri-dont's as they quickly became known - but it's being delighting fans of that golden era between hardcore rave and jungle ever since.

Review: R&S Records return with a dazzling new rerub record from Dino Lenny, whose 'Lose Control', recently released in original mix form, now also gets the remix treatment from Tea With Quincy, alongside a fresh '4am' mix of the former record's B-side, 'Washington Street'. The latter steals the show via a fantastic set of urbanomic trance-jazz impressions, lending overlaid synth to sax to a beguiling uptempo undulator unafraid of the chromatic or ghost notes. Tea With Quincy's version is a much more surreal experience, with muted group chants juxtaposing salient "burning down the dancefloor" vocal samples and what sound like strange Konnakol scats, making for an otherworldly jazzdance experience to say the least.
