listen to Aphex Twin's 'Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments Pt2' EP

Aphex Twin’s Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments Pt2 EP is out today (1/23). While from the same sessions, apparently, that gave us last year’s Syro, the title of this EP is dead-on: here Richard D James is working with very organic sounds/samples (live drums, piano, bells and chimes), giving things a decidedly jazzy feel. And if 13 tracks and 27 minute running time seems like more like an album, the EP tag actually makes sense listening to it. It’s variations on a theme, more than 13 distinct songs. You can stream an alternate mix of opening cut “Diskhat ALL Prepared1mixed [snr2mix]” and the whole EP via Spotify, below…
