So Paul Woolford (AKA Special Request) uploaded some early Aphex Twin live sessions and it quickly did the rounds.
Now it's on here too, a good excuse to dust off ol' Go With The Flow, the sporadic series on Ceefax Of Life where I post stuff that's everywhere else but it's too good not to put on here just for the sake of being awkward.
Hopefully dug out of his mum's attic, the tape is 50 minutes of classic Aphex, noisy nose bleed techno and acid bookending some pretty ambient stuff in the middle. Made up of a Peel Session from 1992 and an Essential Selection live from Sheffield Hallam University in 1993, it's genuinely lovely to hear John Peel's voice again as he bumbles through a link and genuinely funny to hear Pete Tong big up Stereo MCs (and mention The M People).
Peel Session 1992 tracklist:
1. Afx 6
2. Illumineph
3. T Q T
4. Quintute
5. Blue Calx
That intro is bloody annoying though.
