Aphex Twin’s fifth album blends an array of dizzying drill-n-bass tracks with solemn electro-mechanical acoustic piano arrangements. Many of this album’s tracks feature Cornish titles, a nod to the electronic producer’s birthplace of Cornwall, England.

The circumstances surrounding this album’s release set it apart from others in Aphex Twin’s discography:

(Aphex Twin) left an MP3 player on a plane that held a mind-boggling 282 new tracks. It was labelled “Aphex Twin Unreleased Tracks” to make any would-be bootleggers quite sure that what they might post on to the internet was the real deal. This never happened, but the musician hurriedly put together a double CD just in case.
