AFX (APHEX TWIN)

'Hangable Auto Bulb' is beyond mere juvenilia; it is one of the most seminal electronic releases of our age. It is a project that defined the sound of RICHARD D. JAMES aka APHEX TWIN as well as everything that has come since. Originally available in a sinfully small pressing, this important work is now available for the first time on CD.

10 years ago in Sheffield WARP RECORDS quietly released the 'Hangable Auto Bulb' project in it's original 2 EP form. Much speculation surrounded this release as only 1000 pressings were ever made on vinyl, but of course, in 1995, information wasn't as commonly shared on the net and so many enthusiastic punters didn't get to hear these strange beats.

These were the first releases that marked AFX's experimentation with the dynamics, speed and programming that had evolved through the UK jungle scene morphing it into something entirely alien or rather, something entirely Richard D. James. This sound is one that many now find synonymous with Aphex Twin, defined by the landmark Richard D. James album,
even though 'Hangable Auto Bulb' was first to introduce it. The rest is musical history.
