A teaser of the old-school acid sounds of the Analord series, the Analord 10 EP contains one of Aphex Twin's best tracks.
AFX – Analord 10

Aphex Twin – Drukqs
A true labyrinth of an album, Drukqs is a journey that might take you into the depths of your own psyche.
AFX – 2 Remixes by AFX
Unusually for Aphex Twin remixes, these bear some resemblance to the originals, albeit taking them in unexpected directions. Both cuts are peak Aphex for me, demanding your full attention with their insatiable energy as soon as they come on.

Donkey Rhubarb is an odd release, as idiosyncratic and unsettling as Aphex Twin always is.
Aphex Twin – I Care Because You Do
The album's beauty lies in the counterpoint between the hard and soft edges, jagged percussion and soothing melodies, screeching clamour and woozy respite.
