Analogue Bubblebath 5
Analogue Bubblebath 5 is an unreleased EP by the British electronic music artist and producer Richard D. James, under the alias of AFX. The record was recorded in 1995[1] consisting of nine tracks, and had been intended for release on James' own label, Rephlex Records, as the fifth installment in his Analogue Bubblebath series. However, James decided that it was not up to par with the others in the series, so it never made it past the test pressing stage.[2] Only 20 copies of the record were produced.[3] ReleaseIn January 2005, Rephlex started to mail out the binder and black vinyl editions of Analord 10. Due to issues at the manufacturing and mail out stage, approximately 20 buyers did not receive their package.[citation needed] Rephlex mailed out a second batch in June 2005 to those who had not received their order. This second batch included a free copy of Analogue Bubblebath 5.[4] No information is printed on the record's blank white labels, however some copies do have "AB5" written and circled onto them. The matrix number 'CAT 034' was etched into the record's run-out grooves. As of October 2024, the EP was never released, however some of the tracks from the album were released elsewhere. Track 9, "Cuckoo", was released on the previous volume, Analogue Bubblebath 4. James later uploaded an alternate mix of track 2 on SoundCloud with the name "21 Hapshifter1".
