'''''Mike & Rich''''' is an [[ambient music|ambient]]-[[techno music|techno]] album by [[Mike Paradinas]] and [[Aphex Twin|Richard D. James]], respectively. The album was released in July 1996. The album is also known as '''''Expert Knob Twiddlers'''''.<ref>[http://www.discogs.com/release/377 Mike & Rich - Mike & Rich (CD, Album) at Discogs]</ref>

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. According to Paradinas, the collaboration was partially inspired by James' unreleased ''[[Melodies From Mars]]'' project.
