The philosophy of sound and machine full album


The Philosophy Of Sound And Machine was a compilation CD released on the record label Applied Rhythmic Technology (ART) in cooperation with Rephlex. The album is unique due to the Aphex Twin tracks, which were produced under various aliases. It is not uncommon for the compilation to fetch very high prices on eBay.
