Aphex Twin's third studio album, originally released in 1995, is regarded as Richard D. James' greatest work under his Aphex Twin guise; whereas Selected Ambient Works Vol. II consummated Aphex Twin's analogue era, ...I Care Because You Do was the beginning of more intricate, lengthy, abstract digital compositions, quite different to the previous, familiar sound of ambient music and techno.

Anagrams for tracks titles (The Waxen Pith, Wet Tip Hen Ax, Next Heap With etc.), in-jokes and innuendos, samples of dialogue from pornographic films and other eccentric production nuances fold into distorted hip-hop style beats and tangled drum loops.

...I Care Because You Do captures a new era of bracing sonic experimentation (a self-portrait on the cover appears to endorse this change), yet maintaining levels of familiar melancholy and aggression in an equal measure.
