Expert Knob Twiddlers is an ambient-techno album by Mike & Rich, more commonly known as Mike Paradinas and Richard D. James, respectively. The album was released in July of 1996. The album is also known as Mike & Rich and is listed as such in the Rephlex catalog. The album is an amalgam of the music stylings of Aphex Twin and µ-ziq, complete with peculiar samples of jazz and of the human anatomy; "Upright Kangaroo" features a prominent sample of a belch as part of the beat. Familiar elements of both artists' works appear through; for example, "Winner Takes All" features a beat quite similar to that of "cow cud is a twin" from Aphex Twin's album ...I Care Because You Do, at a much faster tempo. The album cover features Mike and Rich playing the game Downfall by Milton Bradley Company, designed as a parody of the original game's box art.
