A long time ago, well not that long ago, there was a man who went by the name Aphex Twin. Matter of fact, he still does! But he also went by the name AFX, which is kinda the same thing, and that's important to know because he had a bunch of other names he worked under as well. Under these many names, he recorded many albums worth of material, much of it never released and most likely to remain that way.
During his days of living in a tank, not sleeping, making his own keyboards and owning a communal house that he let all his friends live in and take copious amounts of acid at, he continued to record music and, when not releasing it through standard channels like Warp Records, he would release them through his own label, Rephlex. In fact, at one point he decided to release eleven very limited records on the Rephlex label via mail order, and all was good. Well, at least until part of the release got messed up and some people didn't get their records.
To rectify the errors, without telling any of these disappointed fans, our hero made a VERY limited pressing of a long unreleased album recorded as AFX and mailed them along with the corrected orders. This album, named Analogue Bubblebath 5 and previously only available via very poor quality bootlegs, calmed all tempers and soothed all sadness as the fans realized they now owned something very special and rare, and all was well. Then someone ripped the vinyl and posted a really high quality copy online and now we can all share in the fun! I love it when a plan comes together!
All the tracks are untitled so I am only providing the download link. This isn't likely to ever get a proper release so enjoy this excellent quality copy!
