Title: Aphex Twin - Richard D. James Album
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1996, Electronic, IDM, Cornwall, England / Limerick, Ireland 6/26
Condition: New (BC) | Members: Richard D (71' - )
Cultural Facts:

  1. Personal Struggle: Richard D. James was named after an older brother who died before he was born, giving the album’s real-name title a strange family ghost behind all the cartoonish electronics.

  2. Studio Lore: The record fused soft childhood-sounding melodies with frantic drill-and-bass programming, making it feel sweet, damaged, and violent at the same time.

  3. Media Narrative: By putting his own warped face on the cover, Aphex Twin turned his identity into part of the joke, the nightmare, and the entire myth.
