Fun fact: A version of the 808 State remix was featured on Ninja Tune's "Solid Steel Presents Amon Tobin: Recorded Live" in 2004. The track was simply titled "Remix by AFX."
Box Energy may be the single song with the _most_ "Aphex" sounds and sonic anachronisms in it, bloody hell- it's a time capsule calling-card to every stage of the mad lad's progression. You can hear snippets of every age in this journey.
The unique thing about that "song" is that our boy RDJ put zero musical talent into it, unlike his other tracks that seem to have unlimited musical talent; he just took an image of himself chillin' with Squarepusher, added some text around it, made that into a slightly larger promo image, and software-encoded it into an SSTV image. Not bad for a quarter of a century ago, eh? I just wanted to clarify because the OP was almost like giving RDJ credit for creating something sonic, but he didn't; the software MultiMode by N3JLY created this track.

Hadn’t put that together, that’s sick
always wondered what that track was. that solid steel so good. just stumbled on this now. Cheers :)
Lol. That album never leaves my truck. Just a need for chaos after a hard day. Found it used for 5 bucks.

Found this in 99 on cd...had to keep 3 people from stealing it from me. It was 100% the dopest dirty tracks you could find.
Fun fact: A CD version released in 2001.

its sounds like a blend between an analord 10 track and a drukqs track
This is some of Richard’s best work in my opinion ❤
Loving the Casio FZ1 energy and downsampling in this
4:59 the mix posted to his soundcloud sounds so fucking good
I didnt know the original songs that were remixed so i jumped ahead to the untitled track and OW FUCK MY EARS I WAS WITH EARPHONES, RICHARD!

Another awesome from AFX I'm impressed 💥💥🔥🔥
Nice!!
Better than dub step and further ahead of its time then and now decades later! Destroyer TRACKS!!!! High power sound equipment recommended.
a lot of incredible stuff came out of dubstep, dont let its bastardisation by americans take away from the london scene and its achievements
There is also a third track its the coolest thing ever some real AFX
Thanks !!
