Hey folks!
I got this info from the Warner Bros. Records section vai my AOL accout.
Unfortunatly, they don't list the tracks, so I wonder if the US CD
release will have the extra track. What's the scoop on the "Brilliant CD
Box?" Anyone wanna describe what it looks like?

Subject: Aphex Twin
Aphex Twin (Album Release 4/12)
Title: Selected Ambient Works, Volume II
Label: Warner Bros./Sire
CD: 2-45482
Selections:[all selections are untitled]
"The first word of this song is 'discorporate'"
Personnel: Richard James, all instruments
Producer: Richard James
- Aphex Twin is the alter ego of one Richard James, a reclusive 22-year-old
Englishman who utilizes home-brewed electronic instruments and common
household objects to create music that soars with its own alien logic. In the
process, he's managed to singlehandedly redraw entire continents on the
musical map, pushing the sound of techno off the dance floor and into your
brain.
- "Selected Ambient Works, Volume II" contains more than two hours of music
(on two CDs housed in a Brilliant Box) culled from his most recent sessions.
It's decidedly quieter than previous import releases, but no less visionary.
- More propulsive is the just-released CD maxi-single containing the new
single "On"--a hypnotic spiral of sound that comes on like Kraftwerk being
mercilessly shredded in a particle accelerator. It's not on the album, so
don't say we didn't warn you up front, okay?
- Richard is on the cover of Option magazine as we write this, and he's
already been the recipient of a solid year's worth of out-and-out raves (no
pun intended) from the British press.
- Aphex Twin has recently wrapped up a U.S. tour with Moby and Orbital. He'll
be performing in the States again shortly, probably accompanied by some other
British ambient types.
- In the past few years, Richard's output has been nothing short of
voluminous. He's released records under the names Polygon Window and The Dice
Man, as well as remixes for Curve, St. Etienne and others. Look for another
Aphex Twin album later in '94.
