    A heavy-hitting, beautifully arranged EP that might or might not have been recorded between 2006 and 2008.

    Three records into his return, on the most Spartan cut of the bunch, James is sounding more energized than ever.

    The tracks are of such quality, though, that their position as part of something larger is mostly irrelevant.

    Confounding as ever, James nonetheless presents some of his most physical and ultimately electrifying tracks here.

    Excitement, sure, but little surprise. [Oct 2015, p.67]

    Although it isn’t as full-fledged or layered as a full-length Aphex work, it’s full of minor miracles, advanced lessons in acid appreciation and stirring little lines of drum poetry.

    On its own, Orphaned Deejay Selek 2006-2008 definitely manages to holds its own as a brilliant slice of pure AFX acid, and a sure fire way to get your Aphix for a couple of months.

    Whatever James puts his name to could and should never be expected to make conventional sense, so Orphaned Deejay Selek only falters when denying his own slippery logic.
