Aphex Twin


What can be said about Aphex Twin.....

Well Richard D. James is the British mastermind behind this and other handles of electronic music....and he's pretty much unstoppable.

Really I just wanted to post a link to Melodies From Mars - an unreleased "album" that, apparently, he produced, then recorded to a ridiculously limited amount of C90 cassettes in 1995 to give to recording executives and close friends/associates.

From what I've read, due to shitty P2P programs, there's a couple "versions" of the album floating around.....I'm pretty sure this is the most complete and best quality version.

Melodies From Mars up your ass!

An interesting side note - a couple of the tracks (as they are appropriately "tagged") are early versions of tracks that would later appear on 1996's aptly-titled Richard D James Album - which is a really great place to start if you aren't familiar with Aphex Twin.

Edit: This is actually where you should start.
