James' fourth, autobiographical' album as Aphex Twin is regarded as his 'drill n' bass' showpiece. Originally released in 1996, 'Richard D. James' continues the lineage of his digital era (beginning from the previous Aphex Twin album, '...I Care Because You Do'), where familiar, playful melody locks into aggressive, hyperspeed breakbeats and quasi-jungle rhythms. This album also yielded the single 'Girl / Boy Song' which, memorably, uses a self-parodying, macabre image of grave, scribed 'Richard James - November 1968' as a sleeve image. Characteristically, 'Richard D. James' employs audio generated electronically, whilst furthering his ideas of more 'concrÄ?te' techniques such as sampling, distorting, looping and the use of human voice, physical instruments and environmental sound. As compelling a listen today as it ever was.​​ CD Jewel Case Review: A masterpiece! - I consider this album to be a masterpiece from a sick genius. The composition and arrangement of the tracks may not be noticed to the casual listener, or at first listen; but repeat listening will prove that the violent, fast-tempo drums may shroud the often beautiful string arrangements and complex patterns beneath. The tracks: 4, Peek 824545201, To Cure a Weakling Child, and Girl/Boy Song are my most favorites. Their titles are often appropriate, conveying the feel of each track. For those that like or love this album, or Aphex Twin in general, I would highly recommend the album: Acoustica: Alarm Will Sound Performs Aphex Twin. This is an album of Aphex Twin tracks covered by an acoustic orchestra! Absolutely wonderful accompaniment to the Aphex Twin fans collection! Review: An Adventure In Recorded Sound - From stuttering stops to blistering beats and flashes of noises ranging from synthesiers to recorded voices Aphex Twins 1996 effort, "Richard D. James Album", is an album that will keep you listening through and through no matter how many times you have listened to it, and depending on your musical tastes may take some getting used before you fully appreaciate the genius of the music on here. Prime examples of some of the insane music you hear on this album would be on tracks such as, "Corn Mouth", "4", etc. This album still holds up today because of the fact that it was and is ahead of its time in the realm of the electrnoica music genre and paving the way for artists such as, Radiohead to fully incorporate the use of combining electrnoic music elements with standard musical instruments. So what are you waiting for if you want to hear some of the most insane greatest electrnoic music around than this album if for you. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000006Z4J | | Best Sellers Rank | #57,866 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #33 in IDM #140 in Techno (CDs & Vinyl) #211 in Ambient (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (230) | | Date First Available | February 11, 2007 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Label | Warp Records | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Warp Records | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2017 | | Product Dimensions | 5.63 x 4.84 x 0.39 inches; 3.25 ounces | | SPARS Code | DDD | ## Images ![Richard D.
