The first clutch of groundbreaking works came on the legendary Belgium label R\u0026amp;S Records and were collected on a compilation album \u003cem\u003eClassics\u003c\/em\u003e, released in 1995, and followed the global success of the timeless album \u003cem\u003eSelected Ambient Works 85-92\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eClassics\u003c\/em\u003e receives a long overdue vinyl and CD re-press for 2025, with a fresh vinyl cut by acclaimed mastering engineer Beau Thomas, and a R\u0026amp;S Records sticker sheet inserted into the LP sleeves including cover artwork of the two singles ‘Digeridoo’ and ‘Xylem Tube’ EP which are both featured on this compilation album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Digeridoo’ was released on the R\u0026amp;S Records label in 1992 and originally peaked at #55 in the UK singles chart in May of that year.

Released as a 4 track EP that also included early Aphex productions (now classics) including the industrial, acidic clang of ‘Flap Head’ and hyperbolic futurism of ‘Isopropanol’, the release cemented a relationship with the R\u0026amp;S label that went on to release the ‘Xylem Tube’ EP and the pivotal album \u003cem\u003eSelected Ambient Works 85-92\u003c\/em\u003e in the same year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eClassics\u003c\/em\u003e album features both the ‘Digeridoo’ and ‘Xylem Tube’ EP singles, plus ‘Analogue Bubblebath 1’, ‘Metapharstic’ (originally released on the album Mayday - A New Chapter Of House And Techno '92), two Aphex remixes of Mescalinum United’s ‘We Have Arrived’ from 1992 and ‘Digeridoo (Live In Cornwall, 1990)’.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"R \u0026 S Records","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":53253609357643,"sku":"R1683-9068","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":53253609390411,"sku":"R1683-0469","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/AphexTwin-Classics-RS95035-Packshot.jpg?v=1756211954"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/r-s-records.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
