Over the last 32 years the track has become one of the essential Aphex Twin tracks in a gargantuan catalogue that continues to amaze and inspire.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“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. “\u003cem\u003eDigeridoo\u003c\/em\u003e came out of that.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased 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\u0026amp;S label that went on to release the \u003cem\u003eXylem Tube\u003c\/em\u003e EP and the pivotal album \u003cem\u003eSelected Ambient Works 85-92\u003c\/em\u003e in the same year. The label’s owner \u0026amp; A\u0026amp;R Renaat Vandepapeliere reflected “When I first heard Aphex Twin’s music I said\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e, ‘This is it!’, and everybody else said, ‘You’re crazy!’ …a lot of the hardcore R\u0026amp;S fans dropped us.

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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e — (via Label)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/58H1ArDcd3bUzOK0cn31lD?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e↓\u003cbr\u003eLabel: R \u0026amp; S Records\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 2 x Vinyl, 12\", 33 ⅓ RPM, Reissue, Remastered\u003cbr\u003eReissued: 2024 \/ Original Release: 1992\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Electronic\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Breaks, Techno, Abstract, Acid, IDM\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFile under: Leftfield\u003cbr\u003e⦿\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"R \u0026 S Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44455312687262,"sku":"5060944577216","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/files\/a3554439260_10.jpg?v=1730198968","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/the-aphex-twin-digeridoo-2024-expanded-edition","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
