Aphex Twin broke a five-year silence with Blackbox Life Recorder 21f / in a room7 F760, a compact 12-inch EP that first appeared in 2023 and returns here in a fresh pressing.
Richard D. James has never been predictable about when or how he releases music, so a new Warp EP, his first since 2018's Collapse, was cause for celebration among fans. What arrived was four tracks of intricate, quietly emotional electronics, less about all-out mayhem and more about melody, texture and detail.
The title track is the centrepiece, a gliding, melancholic piece built on crisp, shuffling drum programming and warm synth chords that seem to bend as they move. "Zin2 Test5" is a skittering, playful workout, "In a Room7 F760" unfolds with a dreamy, slightly unsettling glow, and "Blackbox Life Recorder 22 (Parallax Mix)" revisits the main theme from a hazier angle.
It is classic James in miniature: tender and tricky at once, full of tiny surprises that only reveal themselves on repeat listens.
For collectors, a physical copy of this EP is a welcome thing to have back on the shelf. At around fifteen minutes, it rewards close listening on a good system, and those bending chords and clattering drums sound superb at volume.
