About this album

Richard D. James Album is one of Aphex Twin’s most acclaimed works, a sharp, playful and unsettling 1996 statement that pushed IDM into stranger, more melodic territory. Released on Warp, it blends intricate drum programming, acidic textures and sudden bursts of beauty into a sound that is both technically dazzling and emotionally skewed. Tracks such as “Fingerbib”, “To Cure A Weakling Child” and “Girl/Boy Song” helped define his ability to balance abrasion with memorable hooks. Widely regarded as a landmark of electronic music, the album cemented Richard D. James’s reputation as one of the most original producers of the 1990s.
