Aphex Twin

Digeridoo (Expanded Edition)

''Didgeridoo'' (Expanded Edition) is the first time the EP has been re-issued with extra material. Whilst digging in his DAT archive (allegedly stored in an airtight military ammo box), Richard James revisited the recordings, encoding them through a Nakamichi CR7e cassette deck, using the customised deck with vari-speed to encode at speeds ''felt right at the time''. Alongside these CR7e versions, the original mixes have been remastered by Beau Thomas at Ten Eight Seven Mastering, offering a dilated insight into one of electronic music’s most endearing releases.

Released as a 4 track EP that also included early Aphex productions (now classics) including the industrial, acidic clang of ‘Flap Head’ and hyperbolic futurism of ‘Isopropanol’, the release cemented a relationship with the R&S label that went on to release the ''Xylem Tube EP'' and the pivotal album ''Selected Ambient Works 85-92'' in the same year. ''Digeridoo'' has become one of the essential Aphex Twin tracks in a gargantuan catalogue that continues to amaze and inspire.

''I wanted to have some tracks to play to finish the raves I used to play in Cornwall, to really kill everybody off so they couldn’t dance,” Richard D James, AKA Aphex, told Select magazine back in the 90s. ''Digeridoo came out of that.''
