Warp Records

Boards of Canada specialize in evocative, mournful, sample-laden downtempo music often sounding as though produced on malfunctioning equipment excavated from the ruins of an early-'70s computer lab.

In small but noticeable ways on this, their sophomore release, Autechre begin to break from the clean, if at times obvious, artistic techno from their debut record, and reach instead toward something far more distinct.

Quite unlike anything else he's ever done, 'Windowlicker' is perhaps the most accessible and dancefloor-friendly track Richard D James has ever created.

The first Aphex Twin release on Warp would be 1993’s On EP, which was followed by four studio albums for the label, as well as numerous other EPs. Syro is the first new Aphex Twin album since 2001’s Drukqs.

Richard D. James' fourth, autobiographical' album as Aphex Twin is regarded as his 'drill n' bass' showpiece

Four months after Syro, Aphex was back with Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments pt2, and it’s fair to say the title sums up what this one is all about.

A vibrant and exuberant collection from Richard D James, aka Aphex Twin, with three wildly different versions of the title track alongside a series of high-tempo yet heartfelt electronic works

Using the impossibly rare digital synth the Cheetah ms800, RDJ cracks the code, using it's full capacity to spill forth 'low-fi digital weirdness'.

'I Care Because You Do' finds James building compositions out of lengthy and intricate drum machine loops, elaborately layered analog synths and intermittent string pieces.
