Richard David James (born 18 August 1971), best known by his alias Aphex Twin, is an English electronic musician and composer based in London. He is best known for his influential and idiosyncratic work in electronic music styles such as IDM and ambient techno in the 1990s, for which he won widespread critical acclaim. He is also the co-founder of Rephlex Records with Grant Wilson-Claridge.
James was born in Limerick, Ireland, but he grew up in Lanner, Cornwall, UK, with two older sisters, in a "very happy" childhood during which they "were pretty much left to do what [they] wanted". He enjoyed living there, feeling apart from nearby cities and the rest of the world. James attended Redruth School in Redruth, Cornwall, and claimed to have produced sound on a Sinclair ZX81 (a machine with no sound hardware) at age 11:
Caustic Window is an eponymous album by Richard D. James, under the alias Caustic Window. Originally planned for release in 1994, the album was abandoned, with only five physical copies being produced. One of the copies, which surfaced for sale on Discogs in 2014, was bought and digitally distributed through a Kickstarter campaign. It was eventually sold on eBay for $46,300.
Background
Although 2 of the tracks (Phlaps and Cunt) appeared on compilations in the 90s and one of the songs ("Mumbly") had its chord progression reused for track 6 of Analogue Bubblebath Vol 3, the actual Caustic Window album's release was canceled. Before being shelved, five or more copies of the album were pressed in 1994. One of the copies surfaced on Discogs in 2014, with a price of $13,500. In response, We Are the Music Makers, an electronic music forum, negotiated with Rephlex Records and initiated a Kickstarter project, in which people who contributed to the Kickstarter project received a digital copy of the album. More than $47,000 was raised for the album.
Here is Aphex Twin's (Richard D. James') unabridged, long-ago-created-yet-recently-released 'Caustic Window' LP. You can read all about it elsewhere on the internet (kickstarting and all), but here you can actually listen to the album in its entirety. Enjoy.

'Care To Know?' Info:
The LP was recently uploaded as a playlist on youtube, so I ripped each song at a delicate volume to preserve dynamic range and prevent digital clipping (I'm not exactly sure why, but streaming/downloaded songs are often very loud and clippy). Because these recordings are sourced from vinyl, I made some very minor, unobtrusive edits (for those who care to know): individual track volumes between the L & R channels were normalized, overall amplitude from track to track was adjusted for a continuity of relative loudness, incidental record hiss was removed with strategic fade ins and outs, and the pops on "Jazzphase" were removed.
