The story of how Aphex Twin's music got released is the stuff of legend. Richard D. James reportedly signed a record deal with the label Mighty Force while tripping on acid at a rave, who would later put out his Analogue Bubblebath EP in 1991 which would be his first release. The EP was originally released under the name The Aphex Twin but would later be credited as AFX when reissued in 1994. He would later release his Analogue Bubblebath Vol. 2 EP under the label Rabbit City which included the song Digeridoo. The song would later get picked up by R&S Records as a single.

Now it's been said that James went to Belgium where R&S was located with a box of demo tapes he made, and from those tapes they assembled what would be his first album Selected Ambient Works 85-92. But by the time his first album was released, he had already put out several EPs on different labels over the past year. He put out 7 EPs and I'm using 4 of them. The ones I'm not using are two Joyrex EPs released as Caustic Window & the Pac-Man EP released as Power-Pill.
