Review of Analogue Bubblebath

This is a very dreaming EP that has my mind swimming in lovely sounds. This is one of those breakthough legendary type records simply because nothing sounded like this in 1991. The title track Analougue Bubblebath 1 is one of the most beautiful IDM tracks ever written and gets stuck in your head very easily. It does have a great ambient feel to it as well, like most of AFX earily material. Isopropophlex has a bit more of a harsher feel to it with a pounding drum pattern but there's still the ambient waves being layered across the track and the acid is raise up in this track more too. A thing to note on this track is there's some children singing and it's the same sample RDJ would use on the Windowlicker. Entrance to Exit has more of a drum'n bass quality to it and samples some odd strings too. It's my least favorite track on this EP simply because it doesn't seem to fit on here. It's sampled fairly well and has a cool beat but it just gets a bit tired after a while. AFX 2 contains some distored drums with some slightly high pitched sounds plugged in over the beat. It has some excellent progression as well and gets better as the minutes tick by. Overall this is a fairly well done EP, especially for 1991 and if you like his Polygon Window project you'd most likely enjoy this material.
