AFX - .0180871

From Analogue Bubblebath Vol. 3. Originally released on Rephlex in late 1992 as a 12” EP, the record was reissued on CD as a 13-track album in February of 1993. With this reissue came modifications to several songs as well as the addition of 5 previously unreleased tunes, three of which were put to vinyl on Analogue Bubblebath Vol. 3.1 in 1997. This track is actually two tracks, one in the left channel and the other in the right. The CD reissue separated these channels into their own tracks, unofficially known as “.0180871L” and “.0180871R” respectively. I have restored this composition from my personal copy of the original Analogue Bubblebath Vol. 3 vinyl pressing, a note about which is below:

Upon receiving the record it became apparent that there was a fair amount of surface noise and clicking. I have done my best to remove these artifacts, but there are certain sounds Richard James employed that my de-clicking VST wanted to filter out. I set the sensitivity quite low to avoid removing these sounds, but it is not perfect. Until I find a cleaner copy of the EP, this is pretty much as good as it’s going to get. That said, I Hope you enjoy.
