Tonight we listen deep to the best ambient compositions by Aphex Twin. His early ambient works helped to solidify "ambient" as a genre and remain relevant after 30 years. Aphex Twin, aka Richard D. James, has claimed that his ambient work was inspired by lucid dreaming and likened the music to "standing in a power station on acid."

This compilation of ambient works is DJ'd live by Envelop residents, and demonstrates how stereo productions can take on a new life when upmixed into the 32-speaker listening experience of Envelop SF. Expect pristine clarity and enveloping sound that takes the music to another level.
