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.

Notes2013 reissue. Import vinyl LP. Irish DJ Richard James (a.k.a. Aphex Twin) got into the techno sound at it's very dawn. He soon became a master of the "ambient" techno sound, later inspiring many other artists. Many critics consider his double album "Selected Ambient Works 85-92" as his most seminal recording. More than just a thumping raver groove, intricate melodies woven into and around the beats keep the music anything but dull. Some of it's most noted cuts are "Tha," "Heliosphan," "Hedphelym," "Schottkey 7th Path" and "Delphium." In all there are 13 tracks on this 2-LP import. This version of "Selected Ambient Works 85-92" is a reissue.

  • Classic must have electronic album

    This record has the beautiful sounds created by modern musical genius Richard D James. It’s his earliest work, and has been mentioned and played on NPR, it’s often described as electronic modern classical, although there are no specific synthesized acoustic instruments. This may be remembered as the best album of our time. Re-release is mastered in the highest quality. Sounds amazing on a nice audiophile system. MP3s will never do this justice! Do yourself a favor and buy it on vinyl!

  • Outstanding record with a great pressing!

    Aphex Twin’s classic album is absolutely amazing from start to finish. It’s a spacey electronic record that puts me in a place few other records have put me in. The record sounds fantastic and never makes any of the songs lose any quality.
