6.8/10
Mostly albums are when you really have to watch out for for Aphex. EP's especially those by his alter egos are easy to toss off as interesting, sometimes offering some brilliance, but for the most part just little asides to holdover till the next album. Deejay Selek is no different. Nothing of major note besides its decidedly less pretty then the last two releases. The highly melodic Syro offered his cleanest, most melodic album to date, and Computer Controlled offer minor, yet consistently interesting fragments. The songs here feel more complete then those on Computer Controlled, but also feel so much more pedestrian. While you can tell its Aphex Twin I wouldn't be that surprised if it wasn't. Its not even ever that weird. It sometimes pick up weird rhythms that can make it interesting , but that never holds for the entirety of a song. Its seems to simplistic and faceless to ever really take a hold f the listener.
