Overview
Split across two 12″ EPs, the second released eight weeks after the first and each limited to 1000 pressings, the records marked a significant change in sound from previous AFX and Aphex Twin releases. Moving away from the analogue sounds of the previous releases, Donkey Rhubarb and …I Care Because You Do, the tracks show James experimenting with computer-arranged Breakbeat programming and timestretched samples, and this can be seen as a precursor to Richard D. James Album. This would become the dominant sound in his work up until the Analord releases of 2005.
The records are influenced by the early EPs of fellow Cornish producer Plug (Luke Vibert), as well as other Drum and bass movements of the day.
