Aphex Twin – Selected Ambient Works Vol. II (1994)

An album of infinite depth and abstraction, alternately soothing and nightmarish. Ideally listened to at night, with good headphones.

Aphex Twin – Selected Ambient Works 85-92

Because this site needs more Aphex Twin. Here’s allmusic:

Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is a desperately sparse album: thin percussion and several haunted-synth lines are the only components on most songs, and Richard D. James added only one vocal sample on the entire album ("We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams"). Also, the sound quality is relatively poor; it was recorded direct to cassette tape and reportedly suffered a mangling job by a cat. All this belies the status of Selected Ambient Works 85-92 as a watershed of ambient music. It reveals no influences and sounds unlike anything that preceded it, due in large part to the effects James managed to wrangle from his supply of home-manufactured contraptions.

Aphex Twin – Analord 10 (2005)

This one’s short and sweet. Part of the vinyl Analord series, which saw Richard James’ return to analog equipment after messing around with computer music for a few years. There’s a lot going on in this 13-minute set. Old-school skronky bass stabs, ghostly synth pads and weird vocoder sounds are the order of the day.
