DESCRIPTION:
Back With A Boom 1st Album In 13 Years And It's Triple 12 Inch
Thirteen years passed between Drukqs and Syro, the fifth and sixth Aphex Twin albums. The long stretch, however, wasn't short on new material from Richard D. James. From 2005 through early 2014, the frequently dazzling Analord EPs (all but one of which was credited to AFX), an EP and LP as the Tuss, and a liberated Caustic Window LP all reached the public. In August 2014, a nylon Aphex blimp -- not quite as immense as the S.O.S. Band's presumably decommissioned aircraft, yet transfixing nonetheless -- was spotted over London, and the following month, Syro arrived on Warp. Low on frenetics, Syro is anchored by rotund and agile basslines that zip and glide, and it's decked in accents and melodies that are lively even at their most distressed. It also flows easily, a notion epitomized by the sequencing of "XMAS_EVET10 [Thanaton3 Mix]" and "Produk 29," where a mesmerizing combination of snaking low-end synthesizers (10:31, not 12:24 in length) is t

Richard David James (born 18 August 1971), known professionally as Aphex Twin, is a British musician, composer, and DJ who has been active in electronic music since 1988. His work incorporates a variety of styles, including techno, ambient, acid, and jungle. He is often associated with the intelligent dance music (IDM) genre. Several publications such as Mixmag, The New York Times, NME, Fact, Clash, and The Guardian have recognized him as an influential figure in contemporary electronic music.
James was raised in Cornwall and began DJing at free parties and clubs in the South West of England in the late 1980s. His debut EP, "Analogue Bubblebath," was released in 1991 on Mighty Force Records and helped him gain an early following. He then performed across the UK and Europe. In the same year, he co-founded the independent label Rephlex Records. His debut album, "Selected Ambient Works 85–92," released in 1992 by the Belgian label Apollo, received critical and popular attention. James signed with Warp Records later that year and released albums including "...I Care Because You Do" (1995) and "Richard D. James Album" (1996). He also released singles such as "Come to Daddy" (1997) and "Windowlicker" (1999), both accompanied by music videos directed by Chris Cunningham, which expanded his international presence.
Following the release of "Drukqs" in 2001 and the completion of his Warp contract, James released music through Rephlex Records, including the 2005 "Analord" EP series under the alias AFX and two releases in 2007 under the name the Tuss. In 2014, he released a previously unreleased 1994 album as Caustic Window. Later that year, he returned as Aphex Twin with the album "Syro" on Warp Records, which won the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album. Subsequent releases include the EPs "Cheetah" (2016) and "Collapse" (2018). His 2023 single "Blackbox Life Recorder 21f" was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Recording.
