Aphex Twin has unveiled a new compilation album titled “Music From The Merch Desk (2016-2023),” featuring 38 tracks that represent his work over the past seven years. This album is exclusively available in physical format and is currently streaming through Warp Records.
The tracks included in this compilation were previously only accessible through limited vinyl releases sold at Aphex Twin’s concerts. The album’s title refers to shows that sold out in various cities, including London, Houston, and Barcelona.
This release comes after Aphex Twin’s 2023 EP, “Blackbox Life Recorder 21f / in a room7 F760,” which marked his return to creating new music after a five-year hiatus. His last full-length album, “Syro,” was released a decade ago.
Additionally, October marks the 30th anniversary of Aphex Twin’s influential 1992 debut album, “Selected Ambient Works,” which has been reissued with two bonus tracks.
