Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works 85-92 2LP
one the best electronica albums of all time

the lab review
When I was in high school, I thought I was some sort of stoned philosopher. Talking about reptilian minds and shit, I used this album as my portal to higher state of consciousness and advanced stonerism. I worshipped the fuck out of this record, so much so that I camped out by the Twin's tour bus, because my friend Stang made me miss his first appearance in DC. Anyway, usually whenever I travel back to that phase, most things make me want to vomit. Floor scrubbing jeans, check. Phillies blunts shirts, check. H-cut ecstasy, check. Rocking clothes with 8 Balls on em, check. Dirty rave boderline-hippy chicks, check. BUT, the thing about this album is that I still worship it. From day one, I declared this one of the records I would take onto that mystical desert island, and I still would (along with the Queen is Dead and Loveless, so tacky). In my mind it's the best electronic album ever. The first track "Xtal(1)" is as close to heaven you'll get through a walkman. "Ptolemy(2)" is breakbeat driven lush. "We Are the Music Makers(3)" is my dubby buddy. Some tracks are outright strange, and will rewire parts of your brain. Double vinyl pressing, highly recommended.
