'Selected Ambient Works 85-92' (originally released on R&S records in 1993) was the album that crossed over from the techno world into the more indie homes. Stories and mysteries surround this gorgeous, ethereal album: that it includes tracks from 1985 (when Aphex Twin, aka Richard D James, was all of fourteen), that it was largely made with instruments built by James himself, that its success emboldened James to purchase a panzer tank.
