Probably the most famous 'unofficial' Aphex Twin collection, Melodies from Mars has never seen an official release, despite the mp3s being in circulation for years.

3rd May 20247th Feb 2025 ~ George's Music Blog ~ Leave a comment

Supposedly inspired by sounds Richard James heard while lucid dreaming, Selected Ambient Works 2 is both dreamlike and nightmarish, at times serene, lush and pleasant to listen to, at others, creepy, menacing and unsettling.

Aphex Twin – Analogue Bubblebath 4

AFX - Analogue Bubblebath 4

The five tracks on Analogue Bubblebath 4 are all untitled but have been given 'fan titles' based on the prominent sound effect featured in each one.

2nd Apr 20243rd May 2024 ~ George's Music Blog ~ Leave a comment

Rockmaker makes up for its patchiness by reminding you how The Dandy Warhols so easily could've been massive popstars.

The Smile – Wall of Eyes (2024) – Album Review

6th Mar 20243rd May 2024 ~ George's Music Blog ~ Leave a comment

The Smile succeed on their own terms, pushing a hybrid mix of styles that could only make sense in the 2020s.

The On EP sees Aphex Twin go beyond the confines of something resembling dance music and into a realm that exists on his own terms.

The first release under the AFX moniker, Analogue Bubblebath 3 has the run time of an album, which would make it James' only LP on his own Rephlex Records.
