Qumenalu I didn't like this. I bought it off a beach vendor on Brighton seafront for a tenner in the early 00's, I kind of felt bad because he clearly didn't know it was going for 3 times as much on ebay back then. However as I didn't like it I actually went into Rounder Records in Brighton and asked them if they'd swap it for the copy of The Advent - Elements of Life which they had going for £30 and had been there for at least a year, they did a quick ebay search and agreed! So yeah I didn't like this one :) Agrainel There's a 2016 reissue imminent!! http://planet.mu/releases/expert-knob-twiddlers/ (includes seven new tracks as well!!) Vinainl A album that was underwhelming to some at the time but is now a Rephlex classic. A+ on the artwork, also. Cerar I agree. When this came out back in 96, it wasn't anything close to what I expected, considering that I'd been listening to all of their solo material, which really didn't sound much like anything on this little gem at all. I listened to the hell out of it regardless and anticipate the expanded re-release coming up in a few months! :) Lightbinder Mike Paradinas and Richard D. James.this is a great production.one of my favorites. saafari This album definitely is named *Expert knob twiddlers*. Helo It's okay for the time it was made, but it's definitely less than what you would expect from two major IDM producers. Bremar Not the best work either of these guys have done, but I think we can all agree that this is the greatest album cover ever. Aradwyn For all who expected something "more sophisticated" because Mike & Rich are stand-out musicians in this field, keep in mind, that the record was made in 3 days on drugs in 1993 (as Mike once mentioned it took three years for the release). On that framework the record is still brilliant and one of the funniest electronic music records ever. I can hardly have such a laugh with any other record. Hǻrley Quinn Another track, 'Brivert and Muons', never made the finished album. Runs to 6:23 and is a clashy, noisy little number that probably never made it because it's not on par with the rest of the LP. Mullador For this album, Aphex and mu-ziq cheese it up and make some pretty groovy and bizarre tracks. I heard that Mike & Rich made this album in a weekend, tripping on some psychedelics (acid or shrooms, but who knows). Could be BS, but it wouldn't surprise me at all. I'd say the best time to listen to this album for the first time would be while on acid or shrooms. "Mr. Frosty" and "Upright Kangaroo" are the real standouts for me. Mr Frosty makes a great opener. Very funky, and one of the most listenable songs on the album. Upright Kangaroo includes belching sounds in its melody. It makes sense though, in this surreal aesthetic they've created for themselves. Dreladred What a great album! If you are truly a fan of Mike Paradinas and Richard D James then this is a must for you. It has the seriousness that Richard puts forth in his music and Mike's bouncy beats that makes this album one of my all time favorite albums of all time. Cordalas In truth while this album veers from the awful to the ordinary its not one which will get many listens beyond the first, except the final track, which is an awesome piece of loungecore, one of the best aphex tracks and rather buried away . Gavinranadar An album where they both turned the fun up to maximum. Sounds nothing like their other works, a jazzy, squelchy, and rather organic album. Reminds me quite a bit of Mouse on Mars' later sound, while still holding to a classic IDM base ala I Care Because You Do. A great, balanced album. This album is really funny. In it you can found some of the more interesting moments of both great musicians. It is a real collaboration. Doesn't sound like any other Richard D. James or Mike Paradinas record. Those two big experimentalist join they forces in a direction not very usual in any of them when they work alone. That direction is the "downtempo/jazzy experiments" that "Sand_Leaper" points. Rather than "weak and uninspired", I found it funny and curious. Of course, that's just my opinion, but I really enjoy each time I listen it. Histroy of music is full of better things that "Expert Knob Twiddlers", but not always I want to listen a masterpiece. Corgustari Quite disappointed with this. With heavyweights like these twiddling the knobs, I expected something with a lot more bite and edge to it. Instead, you get a collection of downtempo/jazzy experiments that just sound so weak and uninspired that I reach for the skip button after a few minutes. thrust A must for all Mike Paradenas and AFX fans. Leans towards the silly but there are some fantastic grooves to be found within. Leniga Mike is Mike Paradinas (Mu-ziq) Rich is Richard D. James (Aphex Twin). Together they're awesome. On some tracks they build on old rock-n-roll samples, constructing a big layered groove. I have a theory: Mike controls the right speaker/channel, Richard controls the left, they work together on some parts. This album is amazing, you can clearly hear the two artists' minds fusing together. And its all pretty fun and lighthearted! Friert I was told this album took 3-and-a-half days to record... hmmmm. However long it took, it certainly sounds like they had fun recording it. A mixup of styles, all cobbled together into wonderfully-joyful sounds. No chin-stroking in sight. Superb cover too, featuring the duo playing Donfall on a mock-up of the old MB Games boxes. Superb.
