Come to Daddy

Last post was about The Dillinger Escape Plan and their fantastic EP called Irony is a Dead Scene. The EP has a pretty good cover of Aphex Twin’s Come to Daddy. I thought I should now write about the original thing.

In 1997, the year Come to Daddy EP came out, I was totally clueless about many groundbreaking British electronic outfits of the 90’s (heh, barring Prodigy, and the trip-hop bunch, if you can call them electro). I first encountered Aphex Twin around the start of this decade. Went back to this EP yesterday and wondered how this sort of music existed in the pop-culture vacuum that was the "backstreet boys era”.

The man who always supported Richard D. James (the man behind Aphex Twin) was none other than John Peel.
