James helps kick off the album with ‘Xtal’, a slow burning track that gradually increases with a simple yet emotionally gratifying 3-piece ambient chord section that honestly, is perfect. For the entire album, it’s mostly all memorable a lot of very catchy, emotional setups that are mottled, diverse, and best of all, inspirational for one’s work. Played through a nice pair of headphones or even speakers, it will create such a sonic and mystifying atmosphere that is incredibly superior from the rest of Richard’s discography. The sound production on the LP is crystal clear and without warning, occasionally surprising. James’s most unsurpassed album to date, but his most innovative and charmingly creative. Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is not only Richard D. Even though it may not be necessarily accessible because of the drastically simple melodies and non-interchangeable compositions, there’s still a meticulous work of art here. Today the album remains quintessential in the electronic field and correctly so. The spine-chilling ambient patterns, thick percussions, and minor synthesizer effects were what painted it its picture and all of that excelled. It could only be predicted how much publicity and praise Aphex Twin’s Selected Ambient Works 85-92 would receive in the future. Review Summary: Although not entirely accessible because of the repetition, it’s still one of the greatest electronic albums ever recorded.
