Aphex Twin Richard D James Album -

A distorted close-up of Richard's face, intended to be a "brand created for mischief."

Prior to 1996, electronic music largely separated the euphoric, ambient spaces of the chill-out room from the frantic, high-speed breaks of jungle and drum-and-bass. On the Richard D. James Album , James aggressively collapsed these boundaries. He utilized the tracking software of early computers to micro-edit breakbeats, slicing snares and kicks into nanosecond intervals. aphex twin richard d james album
