Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works 85-92 Double LP
1992 European release on R&S Records/Belgium AMB LP 3922.
Records are in very good condition. They do have the odd very superficial mark, but none of these affect sound apart from one mark across most of the short track “I” (the second track on side B which lasts just over a minute) - this causes audible clicks throughout about 60% of the track.
Sleeve is very good – some slight wear round the edges and light storage wear.
Tracks are:
1 Xtal 4:54
2 Tha 9:07
3 Pulsewidth 3:48
4 Ageispolis 5:23
5 I 1:17
6 Green Calx 6:05
7 Heliosphan 4:53
8 We Are the Music Makers 7:43
9 Schottkey 7th Path 5:08
10 Ptolemy 7:14
11 Hedphelym 6:03
12 Delphium 5:29
13 Actium 7:35
AMG says:
Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is a desperately sparse album: thin percussion and several haunted-synth lines are the only components on most songs, and Richard D. James added only one vocal sample on the entire album ("We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams"). Also, the sound quality is relatively poor; it was recorded direct to cassette tape and reportedly suffered a mangling job by a cat. All this belies the status of Selected Ambient Works 85-92 as a watershed of ambient music. It reveals no influences and sounds unlike anything that preceded it, due in large part to the effects James managed to wrangle from his supply of home-manufactured contraptions.
