Aphex Twin (1992)

9.3/ 10

“IDM Masterpiece ”

“Selected Ambient Works is a work of art. Aphex Twin was making this music at such a young age it’s super impressive. The production is ridiculously ahead of its time and the type of production tons of IDM and Electric artists try to replicate or feed off of. Tracks like Xtal and Ptolemy I’ll listen to, over and over again. The album as a structure is basically just a bunch of songs thrown together (called ‘selected ambient works’ for a reason.) and in a basic order with each song being sometimes drum loops with different synths or straight up just ambience. But it all just works. So well. It’s such a vibe and it’s my favorite album to get school done while listening to it. It makes me feel smart, more In general, I’m feeling something when I listen to it. That’s art. Overall. No matter what music you listen to, atleast give this a try.”
