On its 25th anniversary, we reflect on an album that altered the course of electronic music. For a period in the early-to-mid 90s, between dropping out of Kingston Polytechnic and moving to a former bank in Elephant Castle, Richard D. James, AKA Aphex Twin, lived in a shared house in Stoke Newington, London. James was an established artist by then, thanks to a string of well-received tracks (Analogue Bubblebath, Digeridoo etc.) and a groundbreaking debut album, Selected Ambient Works 85-92. A few years previously, hed played his first live shows on the road, performing in clubs like Tresor in Berlin and joining Moby and Orbital on tour across the US. Back at home, some fans were so obsessed theyd started stalking him. They just wanted him and his friends to turn the music down, or else theyd keep calling the council and throwing rocks through their windows. In March 1994, while James was living in Stoke Newington, Warp Records released his second album, Selected Ambient Works Volume II. In the midst of such mayhem, out came a 25-track ambient LP, a record that, by all accounts, no one was expecting. At that point, only one of 30 or so Aphex Twin tracks could be considered ambientI on SAW 85-92. He was better known for furious rave bangers, such as Polynomial-C, or the tender, yet still ravey, techno and IDM of his debut album. It was also the first record to come out on Sire, the subsidiary of Warner Music that had just signed Aphex Twin in the US. Soon, the title tracks Jarvis Cocker-directed video was on MTV, and anticipation for the album was building.

Instead of conventional track titles, there were pie charts paired with small photos of random scenes and household objects. These were painstakingly assembled by Paul Nicholson, who designed Jamess iconic logo, and taken by Jamess then-girlfriend Sam, who also shot the album artwork.) For various reasons, all three versionsUK vinyl, UK CD, US CDhad slightly different tracklists, while the track titles we all know todayCliffs, Rhubarb etconly came about thanks to a young Warp fanatic called Greg Eden, who posted names based on the photos online. These were never approved by James or Warp, but they became so connected with the music that they were later adopted by Gracenote, the metadata company that reads CDs on iTunes.) Musically, too, the album was hard to get to grips with. It received bad reviews in publications like Entertainment Weekly and Village Voice. In a famous interview with the journalist and musician David Toop, James said he produced most of the tracks while lucid dreamingin other words, he literally made Selected Ambient Works Volume II in his sleep. All this left some people wondering if the whole thing was more of an elaborate prank than an artistic statement. Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works Volume Ii Rar Full Of ThemOf course, being James, it was both, the first curveball from an artist whose career would be full of them. Along with Selected Ambient Works 85-92, it remains his defining release, a record so beloved and influential it would end up altering the course of electronic music. Ambient fans used to the bright and feel-good haze of Brian Eno were presented with an LP that was, for the most part, anything but: dark, tense, foreboding.
