Greetings, everyone! How are y'all doing? I hope you're all doing great. Anyways, today we will be talking about the highly experimental Aphex Twin album, "...I Care Because You Do".

I really enjoyed and said to myself: "This song really fits the A.Phex Brothers." After that, I started to listen to more of Aphex Twin's music and decided to listen to the album Schottkey was part of, Selected Ambient Works 85-92. When I first read the title, I said to myself:
