The first clutch of groundbreaking works came on the legendary Belgium label R\u0026amp;S Records and were collected on a compilation album ‘Classics’, released in 1995, and followed the global success of the timeless album ‘Selected Ambient Works 85-92’.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e‘Classics’ receives a long overdue vinyl \u0026amp; CD re-press for 2025, with a fresh vinyl cut by acclaimed mastering engineer Beau Thomas, and a R\u0026amp;S Records sticker sheet inserted into the LP sleeves including cover artwork of the two singles ‘Digeridoo’ and ‘Xylem Tube’ EP which are both featured on this compilation album.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e‘Digeridoo’ was released on the R\u0026amp;S Records label in 1992 and originally peaked at #55 in the UK singles chart in May of that year. Over the last 33 years the track has become one of the essential Aphex Twin tracks in a gargantuan catalogue that continues to amaze and inspire. Released as a 4 track EP that also included early Aphex productions (now classics) including the industrial, acidic clang of ‘Flap Head’ and hyperbolic futurism of ‘Isopropanol’, the release cemented a relationship with the R\u0026amp;S label that went on to release the ‘Xylem Tube’ EP and the pivotal album ‘Selected Ambient Works 85-92’ in the same year.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe ’Classics’ album features both the ‘Digeridoo’ and ‘Xylem Tube’ EP singles, plus ‘Analogue Bubblebath 1’, ‘Metapharstic’ (originally released on the album Mayday - A New Chapter Of House And Techno '92), two Aphex remixes of Mescalinum United’s ‘We Have Arrived’ from 1992 and ‘Digeridoo (Live In Cornwall, 1990)’.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"R\u0026S RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":53207037903175,"sku":"TRI-65645","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Black Vinyl","offer_id":53207038099783,"sku":"TRI-65647","price":37.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9779\/5655\/files\/51b0086efe29362ded617bd662b8b7d6_a8daa338-364f-46bd-a31d-d844cc20e7f5.jpg?v=1769377686","url":"https:\/\/towerrecords.ie\/products\/aphex-twin-classics-reissue","provider":"Tower Records Dublin Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
