track, the industrial, menacing sound of "Isopropophlex" was described as "astringent" and suggestive of "a nasty corrosive fluid". Critic Ira Robbins, writing in 1997, referred to its "aggressively sequenced dance rhythms". In an examination of James' work, The A.V. Club described the track as "restless, a pounding bass line fighting it out with synths that stab through the arrangement with purposeful malice." The tracks "Analogue Bubblebath" and "Isopropophlex" can also be found on the R&S Records compilation Classics. The EP was reissued by TVT Records in the US in 1994, on both CD and 12" vinyl format. Impact The record created a buzz in the UK about Aphex Twin, and on release won immediate acclaim, quickly earning the artist a cult following. It was heavily played on the many pirate radio stations in London. It also had playlist support from influential London radio station Kiss FM, and was played frequently by DJ Colin Dale. The original white label release found distribution in continental Europe. Renaat Vandepapeliere of the Belgian label R&S Records heard the record and then contacted James, which led to the releases James put out on that label in 1992. The record went on to be hugely influential. Its title track was described as a "redrawing of ambient techno aesthetics" by Rolling Stone. The author Simon Reynolds said that its sound "announced a new... direction in techno". The musician and Planet Mu founder Mike Paradinas said the record "was like a completely new English techno, completely inspired by his own influences." The Guardian named its release one of the "key events in the history of dance music". Track listing References Acid techno albums Ambient techno EPs 1991 EPs 1991 debut EPs Aphex Twin EPs
