Girl/Boy (NLS Mix), a solo project track by British musician Richard D.

James under the name Aphex Twin, was released in 1995.

Aphex Twin – On

When it comes to the most important and truly genius artists in the techno scene since the 1990s, the UK’s Aphex Twin—Richard D.

James—surely stands at the top.

Under multiple aliases, he’s crafted innovative music born of sheer talent, spanning from astonishingly beautiful ambient pieces to runaway-hard tracks, boasting an originality that transcends both eras and genres, and continuing to be highly acclaimed well into the 2020s.

The track featured here, On, is an all-time electronica/IDM classic included on the EP of the same name released under the Aphex Twin moniker in 1993.

It presents a sonic world of such beauty that you can’t quite tell where it came from—quite different from his public image of borderline-grotesque face covers and hard drill’n’bass.

Alongside the masterful album Selected Ambient Works 85–92 released the previous year, it’s a crucial piece both for understanding the history of electronica and for exploring early Aphex Twin.

The remix version released the same day, On Remixes, is also a masterpiece—be sure to check it out together!
