THE REVIEW
One of Aphex's most ingenious albums, legally known as Richard D. James. A genuine and skillful masterpiece of electronic composition.
Richard D. James Album is the fifth work of this conceptual electronic artisan. Apparently random rhythms blend into unique compositions of piano and synthesizers, sophisticated electronic arrangements with a rough, detached, and surreal tone. Listening to "Girl/Boy Song" was enough for me to fall in love with this record, coming home at 6 in the morning with 4 friends, destroyed and wasted after a party, with Aphex and his background notes clearing my mind, try it to believe it.
What has always fascinated me about Aphex's music is that it could be outside any "tracks" division scheme; we could hit play once for a single 43-minute track, and paradoxically, each of his songs is a unique and standalone creation, which could repeat indefinitely, like the sinusoidal waves that compose it.
It's a unique album.

How is it possible for someone to create an album so perfect in terms of sound, melody, and rhythm?
A milestone of electronics without any shadow of a doubt.
