Flow State - Aphex Twin
You’re on the free tier of Flow State. To get our weekly Tuesday mixes and daily Spotify playlists, become a subscriber: Good morning. It’s Friday so we’re listening to something more upbeat. Today we’re listening to Aphex Twin, an electronic musician from Cornwall, UK. Born in 1971, he got involved in the local Cornwall party scene in the late ‘80s, DJing at free parties there.¹ His first, self-released LP, Selected Ambient Works 85-92, compiled outré tracks that, as Kelefa Sanneh put it, “both suggest and preclude the possibility of dancing.”² Warp Records signed him in 1993, and the next year he released Selected Ambient Works Volume II, whose works are more actually “ambient.” Together, these two records released in the early ‘90s opened people’s minds to the infinite possibility of music created with machines. Selected Ambient Works 85-92 - Aphex Twin (70m, occasional random vocals off to the side) Selected Ambient Works Volume II - Aphex Twin (160m, no vocals) Have a fantastic weekend. 1 via Wikipedia 2 via New York Times |
