This might be the first proper electronic song I’ve had to write about in the six years I’ve been doing this blog… I like to think I’m a person who’s into all genres, though it’s not hard to see that what I cover is usually guitar-centric. I do appreciate other things here and there though.

‘IZ-US’ is the closing track on Richard D. James’ 1997 Come to Daddy EP. This along with the other song ‘Flim’, which I would have wrote about had I known it sooner, both appeared in my Discover Weekly playlist on Spotify. Not at the same time to make it clear. I liked ‘em that much they were pretty much instant downloads.

I’ve known about Aphex Twin’s music for ages though. Honestly not trying to brag or anything. I think I was watching this 100 Greatest Music Videos thing on Channel 4 when I was about ten and ‘Windowlicker’ appeared in the countdown. I’ve only recently realised how great that song is too. Hearing it without those visuals helped a lot. Though I’m not a massive fan compared to other people who actually follow the man, I do admire the catalogue of work he’s done.
