James (Aphex Twin) and Michael Paradinas (µ-Ziq) -- collaborated in 1996 for Expert Knob Twiddlers. Recalling the great Milton Bradley game boxes of the 1970s and '80s, the cover is a picture of James and Paradinas, in suitable low-res, chop-and-paste photos, playing a variant of Connect Four. Inside, the two techno auteurs' music mesh quite well; Paradinas' liquidy funk distortion smoothes out the calculated, almost sterile, experimentation of Aphex Twin. The style-blending, however, cancels out the particular attractions of both artists, and the listener is left with a somewhat bland album. Fans of Aphex and µ-Ziq will be excited, but newcomers should go elsewhere before they dig this deep. ~ John Bush","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50749900751135,"sku":"5055300385833","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/b5419b9df4f88fa363d6240623b0be60_29fd4dc4-1d3d-4558-8f0e-652c3f09cb64.jpg?v=1777741988","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/expert-knob-twiddlers-deluxe-edition","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
