Aphex Twin: Collapse EP
Aphex Twin Collpase EP Warp Records I’ve said this before but I think it bears repeating: you could imagine that all of the Aphex Twin material – and we’re now talking about a nearly 30-year span of music-making – was created in a single weekend; Richard D. James high on herbal drinks and pills and […]Archive

Aphex Twin: Cheetah EP
Aphex Twin Cheetah EP Warp Records It’s been easy to rush in and declare nearly any and all of the product/activity from Aphex Twin since his return “The Best”. Quality control was there, always. It was usually great stuff – but since a mini glut of releases, many of them no doubt stored up over […]Archive

AFX: Orphaned Deejay Selek 2006-2008
AFX Orphaned Deejay Selek 2006-2008 Warp Records There were all were, just over a year ago – lost without Richard D. James and Aphex Twin and some of his other pseudonyms. And then that Caustic Window album was made available to the mainstream, a flurry of Soundcloud activity was captured across a slurry of accounts. […]Archive

Palmbomen II: Palmbomen II
Palmbomen II Palmbomen II RVNG International Here’s the latest from Kai Hugo, a self-titled album under his Palmbomen II moniker. He’s been making analog house and dusty old ambient-techno releases under various names and all with a cleaning-out-the-attic feel. Here on album where the strange gimmick is that every track is named after an X-Files […]Archive

Aphex Twin: MARCHROMT30a Edit 2b 96 (ep)
Aphex Twin MARCHROMT30a Edit 2b 96 (ep) Warp Records Last year Aphex Twin re-emerged. We had the very worthwhile Syro album, the eventual mainstream release of his Caustic Window project, then there was the ep, Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments pt. 2 (to my ears some of the very best Aphex work ever – and who […]Archive

Aphex Twin: Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments pt. 2 (ep)
Aphex Twin Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments pt. 2 (ep) Warp Records You wait a decade for new Aphex Twin music – then you get a previously hard to find album recorded under another name, the now Grammy-winning official new album/return, as well as a stack of apparently unreleased Aphex leftovers under the typically cryptic user487363530 […]Archive

Aphex Twin: Syro
Aphex Twin Syro Warp Records It’s going to seem like closet-clearing time with the release – limited though it was – of Caustic Window and now this: new Aphex Twin material. Richard D. James has been in a form of hiding for most of a decade, release-wise. There’s been music, performances, but he really slowed […]Archive

Caustic Window: Caustic Window
Caustic Window Caustic Window Rephlex Records/Kickstarter/Revolt/YouTube By now any Aphex Twin/electronic music fan knows the story Richard D. James’ shelved album – under his Caustic Window moniker – has been released via a Kickstarter campaign. So, for whatever reason, we still don’t know the real reason – this Caustic Window release was pulled right as […]Archive
