Aphex Twin - Alberto Balsalm

Richard D. James's entire catalog is worthy of mention, but this little beauty from 1995's I Care Because You Do stands out. It's quite palatable and perhaps the title is apt, the majority of his tracks seems to be arbitrarily named by driving his fist into a keyboard. Such as, Beskhu3epnm, from Drukqs. Rebellion against titling works of music is not such a new phenomenon but the necessity of titles seems impossible to escape given the patterns of human cognitive function. It's the same mother that necessitated DNS databases. The correlation of octets and alphanumerics aside, this one still makes me want to shake my ass.
