Aphex Twin: Selected Ambient Works 85-92


Argued to be second to none when discussing ambient electronic music, Aphex Twin made a record with almost zero reference points. Even with its low-fi sound, since these tracks were recorded directly onto cassette, this record is viewed as original of an album as it gets. Repetitive yet strange beat patterns with strange synth sounds that wash over each track. This record has been on heavy rotation this week and it is one of the records that finds its way to surface from time to time. Originally released in 1992 this record still sounds fresh and exciting for it is a record that will never sound dated.
