  • Good fun for the obsessive fan

    Us techre nuts are an odd breed but these guys get it. Made me appreciate albums I’d listened to for years with new depth and insight. It was really enjoyable to listen to an ep and then go and listen to the release they discussed with greater attention. Thanks for doing this and would love for you to do a series on Aphex or similarly important contemporaries of AE.

  • Essential if you have more than a couple of AE LPs

    Not completely uncritical and genuinely in-depth (every track discussed). I can see myself coming back to this again and again, for no other reason than that AE’s discography is so massive now that by the time you feel you have spent enough time getting back into album Z, you have completely lost touch with album A. A quick listen to the cast will reorientate you. Especially useful when song titles are just random. Great podcast.
