I discovered Richard D. James work in the mid nineties when I bought I Care Because you do lp. I enjoyed this album but some song's are at my opinion too much of an experimentation in high frequency sounds! Regarding Come to Daddy, I was stunned the first time I saw the video for the title song. I then bought the ep especially for that song discovering that there were even better songs out there! I really dig on the Mummy Mix and also IZ-US. If someone wants to discover the talent of Aphex Twin, I would recommend this ep over every other albums as it highlight all the musical talent of RDJ and all the styles that he master. The sounds can be pretty harsh and aggressive on some tracks (Come to Daddy, Bucephalus Bouncing Ball) or totally sweet and gentle (Film, IZ-US). This ep is probably one of the most inspiring and innovative music excerpt of the nineties. The only reason that I don't rate it with a 10 is that it's only a 8 songs ep ...
