Home / Electronic / Selected Ambient Works 85-92
A foundational ambient-techno record, melodic and warm beneath its machine textures. Hugely influential and still beautiful. The gateway to Aphex Twin's world. Released in 1992, it's an early landmark for Aphex Twin.
On vinyl: Vinyl can be scarcer than the CD from this era, so it's worth looking for a recent repressing.
