Aphex Twin - Untitled / Digeridoo

Artist: Aphex Twin
Track: Untitled / Digeridoo
Year: 1993

One of the untitled and unreleased tracks that RDJ was playing live in 1993, leading into a very nice version of Digeridoo (the first time I heard it, in fact). I still have the flyer from the event. This is what it says...

Personal memories of the event...

Vapour Space and YAP were entertaining (with YAP playing percussion on his keyboard and VS playing 'Gravitational Arch' before I heard it anyplace else), but they played early to a half full venue, and most of those people were talking and milling about. We ended up on the third level and watched the early sets from there (the place had/has multiple open levels with a railing you could watch over ... or through, should it be that you ended up on the floor). Orbital was really good, playing most of their Green and Brown album classics. I wouldn't see one of those truly great Orbital shows until 1995, though. Moby played last and seemed really upset most of the night. He was just transitioning from being a solo act (playing a stack of synths, partly to a DAT) to having a full backing band. I'd seen him before and many times since and he's never had that same vibe onstage. Not sure if it was technical or personal, or maybe just that a lot of people seemed confused by seeing a guitar up there and left early to get to the afterparties (this was not an all night event, which was rare back then). Aphex Twin, however, was as transcendent as music has ever been for me. I started listening to different kinds of electronic music immediately (like, that night). Within a few weeks I was buying the stuff that was making my "brain dance", and I've never looked back.

@reedski57 I can dig through some boxes and scan it. Not sure where it is at this point, but I'm sure I could find it pretty easily.

I was there. It was my first party ever. Pretty much life changing. Orbital's second album along with Amorphous Androgynous - Tales of Ephidrena" were responsible for the last 18 years of raving. thanks for putting it up.
