Aphex Twin – Selected Ambient Works 85-92

Aphex Twin’s Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is a pioneering album that redefined electronic music, introducing a new wave of ambient techno that was both experimental and emotionally resonant. Released in 1992 by Richard D. James, a mysterious and reclusive producer from Cornwall, England, the album was crafted mostly on rudimentary equipment in his bedroom studio during his teenage years. What makes Selected Ambient Works 85-92 stand out is its seamless blend of atmospheric textures, complex rhythms, and minimalist melodies, drawing inspiration from early Detroit techno, ambient pioneers like Brian Eno, and James' own avant-garde instincts. Selected Ambient Works 85-92 set a template for a generation of producers, marking Aphex Twin as one of the most innovative and influential electronic musicians of his era.

R&S and Apollo Records present an official vinyl repress of this most classic and timeless album. The vinyl uses the 2013 re-masters made from original DAT tapes cut by Matt Colton and presented in original artwork.
