POLYGON WINDOW
aka Aphex Twin
aka Richard D James
Catalog#: WARP LP 7
January 11, 1993
After hearing James's early material as Aphex Twin on Belgium's R&S Records, Warp contacted James and offered him a recording contract. It is speculated that the Surfing on Sine Waves album was released as a chance to show off his collection of homemade and modified synthesizers. Richard D. James is listed as the creator of the music.. The full text reads, "Writing, programming, arranging, engineering, producing + location recording by Richard D. James at Llannerlog Studios, Cornwall." An image of him running down a flight of stairs can also be found inside the liner notes. This image was later used on the Quoth single.
The album is a collection of largely instrumental electronic music (a few vocal samples are included in places, including one from the Broadway musical "The Sound of Music"). It was most likely recorded by James onto cassettes in his bedroom studio (similar to the production of Selected Ambient Works 85-92), using a limited range of available drum machines, synthesizers, sequencers and samplers, some of which he may have modified himself. The equipment included staples such as the Roland TB-303 bass synth/sequencer and Roland TR-606 drum machine on the Untitled track, a Roland R-8 digital drum machine, and low-budget synths such as the Yamaha DX100. Digital piano sample sounds are also used. Most of the tracks feature insistent drum machine patterns (the ambient "Quino-phec" being an exception) and James' characteristic angular and modal melodies. James makes liberal use of lengthy digital reverberation, giving a spacious feel to the tracks.
