30 years ago today, on 24 April 1995, Aphex Twin released his third album, ending his first analogue era before going digital.
"Sounds that are simultaneously comforting and scary – a fitting metaphor for the contemporary clash of technology and the humans befuddled by it"
"And while its flummoxing cadences provided a model for many beatmakers to come, no one has come close to the elegiac pop phrasing of “Alberto Balsalm.”"

stupidPilled – Komputer WIzard
A concept album about, well, computer wizards that fuses core elements of dungeon synth and IDM to tell its story.

Adventsong – Verdancy
Warm, relaxed electronica that calls back to some of the classics to weave an inviting, bucolic musical tapestry.

Often find myself returning to this one, a really great EP.
Lots of colourful melodic synth patterns with minimal percussion and a kinda idm/ambient techno feel.

Old review.
APHEX TWIN - Drukqs
https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/04/aphex-twin-drukqs.html
We were so smug, thinking Aphex Twin records would be a continual thing, never suspecting this double-LP would be the last we'd eat off Mr. James' plate for a very long time.
loving this. feeling new and nostalgic at the same time

Last year my m8 @lislegaard dream came true - to play before Autechre in Oslo! You can now watch the gig on Youtube and his website. We can also conclude that a white cap is not the correct dresscode in the #IDM audience:

BEELZE - Misery Wheel
"Hypnotic and strange. A song that is neither sad nor happy but is entirely sentimental. 'Misery Wheel' is a creation of wonders to be shared."

Here is a moment from the larger work in progress, another track drafted in stylistic exploration. As honest as I can be, pulling on these threads of me.
All of what I do has acoustic instruments somewhere, but there is a nice electro-acoustic element to this one, kinda gives it a storybook feel or like the overture for a space opera.
