2. Aphex Twin – ‘aisatsana [102]‘
I’m a sucker for Richard D James minimal piano compositions as first trailed on his album Druqks 13 years ago. Today his new album Syro was released, and at the end of a frantic and frenetic collection of frequencies and sound, this ambient-enriched track, with a title that is his Russian wife’s name Anastasia backward, provides some poignancy.
