The Richard D. James Album is the third studio album by British electronic musician Richard D. James, released under his primary alias, Aphex Twin. Released on Warp Records in 1996, the album is widely regarded as a seminal masterpiece in the realm of electronic music. It is notable for its innovative fusion of chaotic, high-tempo rhythmic structures (later termed "Drill 'n' Bass") with lush, melancholic ambient melodies.
