...I Care Because You Do is the third studio album by the British electronic music artist and producer Richard D. James under the alias of Aphex Twin. It was released on 24 April 1995 through Warp Records and contains material recorded between 1990 and 1994. It marked James's return to a beat-driven sound following the mostly ambient album Selected Ambient Works Volume II (1994), and combines abrasive rhythms with symphonic and ambient elements. The cover artwork is a self-portrait of James.
...I Care Because You Do entered the CIN's Dance Albums Chart at number 4 and the Albums Chart at number 24. It was supported by the single and Extended Play (EP) release of the track "Ventolin". The album received positive reviews. It garnered comparisons to the work of composer Philip Glass, who later created an orchestral version of the track "Icct Hedral", and John Cage. The reviewers for Entertainment Weekly, Spin, and Rolling Stone preferred it to his two previous albums. In 2017 Pitchfork ranked ...I Care Because You Do the 13th best IDM album of all time.
