Aphex Twin’s Musical Discography Unpacked in New Book

New book Aphex Twin: Every Album, Every Song gives electronic fans a detailed voyage through the artist’s musical universe. Penned by Beau Waddell, the book covers every track recorded by the Irish-born DJ – known offstage as Richard D. James – encapsulating his vast oeuvre of six studio albums and various EPs. 

Born after James released most of his music, Waddell shows exceptional dedication to understanding and interpreting Aphex Twin’s discography.

His analysis is a diligent exploration, offering readers not just catalog numbers, times, dates, and production details, but an intimate understanding of each track, supplemented by a myth debunking.

The Aphex Twin: Every Album, Every Song book also features works released under lesser-known pseudonyms, such as Caustic Window, Polygon Window, and Bradley Strider. 

Although unreleased materials and Soundclub track dumps are sidestepped, the narrative remains comprehensive by focusing on official debuts. 

Part of the esteemed On Track series by Sonicbond Publishing, the book aligns Aphex Twin’s artistic journey with renowned artists like Pink Floyd, Radiohead, The Human League, and New Order.

Through his work, Waddell commends Aphex Twin’s phenomenal impact. The author credits him as a electronic music pioneer and a revered figure among influential artists like Pharrell Williams. 

Despite no new official music from Aphex Twin since 2020, Waddell’s narrative provides a lens into James’ extensive catalog.
