According to Wikipedia: "Richard D. James was born to Welsh parents … in 1971. … He started producing music at the age of 12 … The first Aphex Twin album … was released in 1992. … In 1995 … he began releasing more material composed on computers, and embraced a more drum and bass sound mixed with a nostalgic childhood theme and strange computer generated acid lines."
Kelefa Sanneh wrote in the New York Times: "In 1996, he released 'Richard D. James Album' (Warp), named after himself, which solidified his reputation as one of Britain's greatest electronic composers. …" ("Playlist: Bubbly Confections and Reckless Jams," 11/6/05).
Caution: coarse language occurs on one track ("Milkman").
