Melodies from Mars is a collection of unreleased tracks by Richard David James, better known under his pseudonym Aphex Twin.
These tracks are thought to mark the beginning of a new phase in James's career, when he started composing music using computer software rather than on synthesizers and analogue equipment.
The Aphex Twin Community claims that "men in black suits" (people from Rephlex) asked it to remove MP3 excerpts from its website.
[3] In a 2010 interview with Another Man, James stated, "I've got six [albums] completed... one is Melodies from Mars, which I redid about three years ago.
[4] According to Mike Paradinas, their collaboration album Expert Knob Twiddlers was partially inspired by Melodies from Mars.
