Product note

Aphex Twin: Richard D. James.
Richard D. James is that rarest of artists, untouched and unaffected by trends or popular currents yet inspiring millions of imitators with every move. The reputedly self-taught James is always moving forward, not one to rest on laurels or dwell on past triumphs, expressing his genius with an almost infuriating offhandedness. Since an adolescence spent assembling and disassembling electronic gadgets, the "bad boy" of electronic music has already advanced his genre beyond many other popular forms. Even the tastes of the 30th Century may fall short of catching up with him.
CLASSICS represents the flip side of the SELECTED AMBIENT WORKS albums, collecting several of James' early singles for Belgium's R&S Records. This is some of the Aphex Twin's more grueling, monochromatic material ("Phloam," "Tamphex (Hedphuq Mix)," "Metapharstic"). But James' rarefied cerebral melodies soar above the rhythmic grind, particularly on "Polynomial-C" and "Dodeccaheedron." Also included are "Analogue Bubblebath I" and "Digeridoo," still brilliant tracks that brought James instant--and, one would imagine, unwelcome--fame. The latter approximates aboriginal drone with homemade devices, while the former's pristine Detroit-styled melodic percolations, crafted with (original Aphex "Twin") Tom Middleton, are the Aphex Twin's extraordinary beginnings.
