Artwork
The sleeve cover features a photograph of a memorial for James' older brother, with whom he shared his name, who died at birth. In a 1996 interview, James said, "My mum was so upset about it when he died that she kept his name on but forgot about him, thinking 'The next boy I have, that'll be him.'"
Critical reception
NME named the EP's title track the 35th best of 1996, while Fact placed it at number 11 on their 2017 "50 Best Aphex Twin Tracks of All Time" list.
