Aphex Twin Releases Surprise 38-Track Compilation of Rare Vinyl Exclusives
The new album, 'Music From the Merch Desk (2016-2023)', compiles years of limited-edition records sold only at live shows and DJ sets.
- The 38-track compilation, released via Warp Records, includes music from six limited-edition vinyl records sold exclusively at Aphex Twin's merch tables between 2016 and 2023.
- This marks the first time many fans will have access to these tracks, previously available only in physical format during live events.
- The collection spans recordings from events in cities like Houston, London, Manchester, and Barcelona, with the earliest dating back to December 2016.
- The release follows Aphex Twin's October 2024 expanded reissue of his seminal 1994 album 'Selected Ambient Works Volume II,' which included previously unreleased material.
- Aphex Twin's last full-length studio album, 'Syro,' was released in 2014, though he has consistently issued EPs and vinyl drops in recent years.
