Classics
Undoubtedly one of the most important and influential electronic artists to have emerged in popular music, the sonic misfit from Cornwall, the Aphex Twin, released a breathtaking slew of early singles and albums from 1991 onwards (and continues to present day). The first clutch of groundbreaking works came on the legendary Belgium label R&S Records and were collected on a compilation album Classics, released in 1995, and followed the global success of the timeless album Selected Ambient Works 85-92.
Classics receives a long overdue vinyl and CD re-press for 2025, with a fresh vinyl cut by acclaimed mastering engineer Beau Thomas, and a R&S Records sticker sheet inserted into the LP sleeves including cover artwork of the two singles âDigeridooâ and âXylem Tubeâ EP which are both featured on this compilation album.
âDigeridooâ was released on the R&S Records label in 1992 and originally peaked at #55 in the UK singles chart in May of that year. Over the last 33 years the track has become one of the essential Aphex Twin tracks in a gargantuan catalogue that continues to amaze and inspire. Released as a 4 track EP that also included early Aphex productions (now classics) including the industrial, acidic clang of âFlap Headâ and hyperbolic futurism of âIsopropanolâ, the release cemented a relationship with the R&S label that went on to release the âXylem Tubeâ EP and the pivotal album Selected Ambient Works 85-92 in the same year.
The Classics album features both the âDigeridooâ and âXylem Tubeâ EP singles, plus âAnalogue Bubblebath 1â, âMetapharsticâ (originally released on the album Mayday - A New Chapter Of House And Techno '92), two Aphex remixes of Mescalinum Unitedâs âWe Have Arrivedâ from 1992 and âDigeridoo (Live In Cornwall, 1990)â.
