Aphex Twin – Collapse EP Vinyl Record

“Very fast, very glitchy, a must-listen for fans of IDM and high-tempo electronic music. Love the album and promo artwork too.” – PopcultchaDan’sReview

Collapse EP is an album or EPby British electronic musician Richard D. James under the pseudonym Aphex Twin. It was released on 14 September 2018 on Warp. The record received universal acclaim from music critics, who praised James for returning to his signature “Aphex Twin” sound.

The individual tracks on Collapse were received positively by critics, with Daryl Keating of Exclaim! labelling the songs as “absolute gems” and Carlos Hawthorn from Resident Advisor feeling that each track had “moments abstract enough to grab your attention and human enough to keep it.”Writing for NME, Tom Connick described the record as “music for Mad Max’s post-apocalyptic parties […] a mad-hatter’s box of tricks, blown up and reconstructed” and called it Aphex Twin’s “most essential” release in years.Slant Magazine’s Josh Geller was surprised with how “warm and inviting” Collapse sounds, whose “dense bursts of intricate glitch to expansive, ambient soundscapes” makes it feel like a “more elaborate musical journey than its mere five tracks.”
