Aphex Twin: Richard D. James LP

James pushing electronic music to new extremes, blending rapid-fire drum programming with eerie, childlike synths and haunting melodies. Tracks like Fingerbib and 4 showcase his softer, melodic side, while Come to Daddy (Pappy Mix) and Carn Marth unleash his signature controlled chaos. It’s an album that defies genre, warping between IDM, jungle, and classical influences with Aphex Twin’s unmistakable touch.
