Album Notes & Community Reviews

A landmark release in electronic music, the 'Come to Daddy' EP famously showcases the extreme duality of Richard D. James's work. The title track, a blistering assault of drill and bass, became an unlikely hit, propelled by its terrifying and iconic music video. This aggression is contrasted by tracks like the beautifully serene 'Flim', demonstrating his mastery of both complex, abrasive rhythms and sublime, ambient melody within a single, definitive package.
