Vintage Aphex Twin Home Video Item

The vintage Aphex Twin VHS tape, titled “Home Video Item,” is a highly sought-after piece of electronic music history. Released by Warp Records in 1997, this VHS compilation was a visual accompaniment to Aphex Twin’s “Come to Daddy” single. It features three of his most iconic and unsettling music videos from the era: “On,” “Donkey Rhubarb,” and the director’s cut of the notorious “Come to Daddy,” all of which were groundbreaking for their surreal and often disturbing imagery. The video for “Come to Daddy,” directed by Chris Cunningham, became an instant cult classic and was banned from MTV due to its nightmarish depiction of Richard D. James’s face on the bodies of children and an old woman. This VHS is a physical artifact from a time when Aphex Twin and Chris Cunningham pushed the boundaries of what a music video could be, cementing their status as innovators in electronic music and visual art.
