Selected Ambient Works 85–92

Selected Ambient Works 85–92 is the debut studio album by Aphex Twin, the pseudonym of the British electronic music producer and DJ Richard D. James. It was released on 9 November 1992 through Apollo Records, a subsidiary of the Belgian label R&S Records. The album consists of ambient techno tracks recorded onto cassette reputedly dating as far back as 1985, when James was 13 to 14 years old. On release it received widespread acclaim and entered the UK Dance Albums Chart at No. 6 in December 1992.

In 2012 Fact magazine named Selected Ambient Works 85‍–‍92 the greatest album of the 1990s. It re-entered the dance chart just after the release of Aphex Twin's 2014 album, Syro. James followed up the album in 1994 with Selected Ambient Works Volume II.
