It's been a good few months for Aphex fanatics. Earlier in the year a memory stick emerged apparently claiming a massive cache of unreleased tracks from the producer. Now the ultra rare 'Caustic Window' album – a test press of which emerged on Discogs earlier in the year for $13,500 – has been uploaded to YouTube. The album was first recorded by Richard D James back in 1994. At the time only 4 test pressing were made, given to Mike Paradinas (aka µ-Ziq), Chris Jeffs (aka Cylob), Grant Wilson-Claridge (co-founder of Rephlex Records) and James himself.
