Summary: An album of extremes
Comment: The best way to describe Come to Daddy is that it is an album of extremes. There is no middle ground. One song will be soft and soothing and the next will be intense and menacing. "Funny Little Man" is more offensive than funny and "To Cure a Weakling Child (Contour Regard)" isn't as effective as the version that appears on the Richard D. James album. But those two tracks are offset by a couple of powerful ones that rank with Aphex Twin's best. "Bucephalus Bouncing Ball" is avant-garde electronica at its finest and "IZ-US" is an absolutely riveting closer. These two tracks rank with "Boy/Girl" and "Windowlicker" for sheer hypnotic effect that is given to the listener. You just don't want them to end. The four other songs, especially "Flim", are satisfactory. The production on Come to Daddy is what instantly struck me the most. As great as the production on the Richard D. James album was, it's just not as pristine and crisp-sounding as Come to Daddy. There's a lot going on in the album, but the production lets you catch every bit of it. Yes...the production on Come to Daddy is among the best you'll ever hear in any genre and is just about perfect. The originality and production makes Come to Daddy worthwhile and, along with the Richard D. James album and Selected Ambient Works: 85-92, among Aphex Twin's best albums. B+

Summary: Techno intellectual
Comment: A small EP of the best compositional work in the Techno genre that I've ever heard. If the point of music is to represent spiralling electric currents in your brain, then this album will be much more enjoyable than the mind-numbing MIDI 4-on-the-floor of the majority of work in the Genre.

Summary: awestruck!
Comment: precisely, this was my reaction upon seeing the video. A scintillatingly devilish promenade of bizarre apparitions, a turmoil of postnuclear visions...and i still have not figured out what makes it so appaling. The iconography of come to daddy has ever since made its way around art forums, magazines and had a greater impact on video-culture as none before, that owes less to the aphexian impromptu itself, than to us, masses who devour anything that is scandalous, and revolving. Thus a sound may only sound as it is visualized, and this may be a reason why, an aphexian experiment could be transplanted to M.T.V standards. Phonic violence is not the case of visual violence, and i think this a reason why we should credit RDJ more for his genuine sampling than for the visual inertia we are faced with in this video. This particular brakethrough does not apply to all aphexian sampling, i have seen other videos that did not scandalize the auditive this far...though windowlicker might be an acception. Come to daddy is musically more than just a scandal to the senses, in fact it juxtaposes them to a certain extent. Altough we seem to see all we hear we have to come to terms with deception, a musical ambiental experience should not be mistaken with the images of horror, and loathing we are bombed with day in day out.

Summary: Superficial and numbing
Comment: Superficial and numbing...
But that's maybe how you want to feel when you listen to it.
To me it's music that doesn't tell you ANYTHING.
It's like one BIG joke or maybe that's what it's meant to be.
Music that lacks soul or emotion.
Or maybe I just don't get it.
A lot of my friends rave about it so I've given it ago but...
Whats it ALL about anyway??
It just sounds frustrated and stunted. Music that doesn't really go anywhere or say anything..
