Published Jul 25, 2012

Earlier this year, electronic master Aphex Twin repressed his classic Selected Ambient Works Volume II on vinyl. Soon, reissue label 1972 will be revisiting some of his other albums as well, as they plan to drop new vinyl pressings of his LPs(1995) and(1996).Both of these vinyl versions will arrive on September 18. Much like therepress, they don't look to have any bonus material, but instead offer fans a chance to finally pick up these albums, whose vinyl versions are long out of print, without paying out some high eBay prices if they missed the records the first time around.The seminalis arguably Aphex Twin's most revered work, and a press release notes that it "employs electronic sounds, pulsating rhythms and non-musical samples to convey the author's feelings on childhood innocence."The re-release is listed as a single LP, so we're guessing this means the extra tracks culled from theincluded on the North American version of the album are not included on this reissue.As for, the album marked the end of Aphex Twin's first analog era, as he switched to digital after that. It is said to occupy "a middle ground between Phillip Glass and the Wu-Tang Clan." It's more than an hour in length and will be split across two records.
