Track .1993841 is early–dark–ambient–electronica at its best. The original vinyl comes in a brown paper bag with a quirky double-sided A4 insert (see below) containing places of interest in Cornwall (a beautiful County located in the South-West of England). At the time of this release, all the staff at Rephlex hailed from this magical part of the world and rightly wanted to big-up their hood. However, one vital slice of information Rephlex forgot to mention... was The Bowgie Inn. This use to be a slightly shambolic pub–by–day/disco–by–night affair, located on the cliff top at Crantock, West Pentire (check www.bowgie.com). For some years, this was thee place to rock out for all the kids in the area. It’s also where Mr. Aphex Twin began his DJ-ing career. The Bowgie use to have a Surf/Rock night on the Friday and a Dance night on the Saturday. I think it’s been gentrified now, but the old club nights will go down in history. May ye Old Bowgie R.I.P.
