Vinyl LP repressing of this 1996 album. In a career full of brilliant, groundbreaking music, the Richard D. James Album remains Aphex Twin s drill n bass masterpiece. It was James s fourth and most widely popular full-length to date upon its original release, and reinvented the artist as a commanding influence on like-minded groups such as Radiohead who were tiring of the guitar / bass / drums format. Moving even further away from his ambient and acid house beginnings, the album matches James s trademark fragile, slow-moving melodies with harsh, quick breakbeats. When it was released, fellow electronic artists such as Orbital and Underworld had just begun to filter moderate amounts of drum n bass in their work, but the Richard D. James Album was more extreme than virtually all jungle at the time. The album continues to gain high marks from music critics, ranking 40th on Pitchfork s Top 100 Albums of the 1990s and 55th on NME s Top 100 Albums of All Time. A peculiar and personal work, the Richard D. James Album is a modern classic which offers the same thrill on the first listen as the hundredth. Review: Great album! - A classic Aphex Twin album.

It's got the big face
An important electronic music album. Tracks are short and to the point. Doesn't stay any longer than it needs to. The vinyl version does not include the extra American bonus tracks like Milkman, Inkey$ or Beetles, but with tracks like 4, Peek 82454201 and Girl/Boy Song, it's solid nonetheless. Plus, with the vinyl version you can hang the cover on the wall and lose sleep when the eyes follow you. 10/10.

THIS ALBUM IS A CLASSIC!!! this vinyl is missing songs???
Yes, I was happier than a pig in Shiite upon the arrival of the greatest collection of electronic compositions of all time! The Richard D James album is flawless and has inspired a generation of electronic musicians and fans. I must say, I was a bit disappointed when the record came and I noticed some tracks were missing from the track listing. It's always been a bit confusing to understand the track listing of any aphex twin album, if there is even a track listing... But Richard D James Album has never been an album i knew by the names, instead i recognize each song On this and most aphex releases when i hear it. Instead of listing the songs in a traditional manner with some kind of legible font, sloppy hand writing scribbles illegible words on the back cover with names like "Peek 824545201," " Cornish Acid," "4," and (a personal favorite of mine) track 3.5 "girl/boy song!" As I said, I never really knew all the names and the order of said names in this album, I did notice there were only 10 (or 9.5) songs on this vinyl release. So, unfortunately I can only give the vinyl release 4 (4.5) stars due to the missing songs. If you want to know the songs that are missing, then look it up... God knows I can't give you many names of songs from the this album. I can and will break the news to all you hipsters who are fans of the infamous song "milkman," you will not hear that particular song on wax! Also, the 4 (3.5) songs I listed are indeed on this vinyl release. I am still very happy with the songs that are on this record and hardly miss the songs that aren't.

Aphex Twin al suo massimo apice
Un album da avere o ascoltare assolutamente se si è appassionati di musica sperimentale, soprattutto di qualche lustro fa. L'ho regalato al compleanno di mio nipote sedicenne. Ne è stato Entusiasta. Crescerà bene.
