'''''On''''' is the title of a 1993 [[Extended Play|EP]] by the [[UK|British]] [[electronic music]] artist Richard D. James, more commonly known by his recording [[alias]] of [[Aphex Twin]]. It was released [[November 15th]], [[1993]] by [[Warp Records]].

Released after his [[album (music)|album]] ''[[Selected Ambient Works 85-92]]'', and just before his follow-up, ''[[Selected Ambient Works Volume II]]'', ''On'' is often described as [[ambient techno]] despite the presence of harsh, abrasive beats in the title track.

==Track listing==

# "On" &ndash; (7:03)

# "73-Yips" &ndash; (4:14)

# "D-Scape" &ndash; (6:54)

# "Xepha" &ndash; (5:42)

The [[music video]], directed by [[Jarvis Cocker]], features drips of water synchronized with the song, a [[stop motion]] sequence filmed on a [[beach]] involving numerous props (including an old fashioned [[Standard_diving_dress|diving suit]] and a cardboard cutout of James), and images of the tide. It is available on the ''Come to Viddy'' and ''Warp Vision (The Videos '89-'04)'' compilations.

'''On''' also produced a companion disc of remixes, known as '''''On Remixes'''''. It features 4 "remixes" of the song, one by fellow [[Rephlex Records|Rephlex]] artist [[µ-Ziq]], one by [[Reload]], and the remaining two by James (although it is widely speculated that these are not remixes at all, and are original material).

==Remixes track listing==

# "On (D-Scape Mix)" &ndash; (10:40)

# "On ([[Reload]] Mix)" &ndash; (7:06)

# "On ([[µ-Ziq]] Mix)" &ndash; (6:43)

# "On (28 Mix)" &ndash; (6:47)

As noted above, the two mixes by James are of questionable origin. The D-Scape mix features mostly harsh "sucking" noises, making it unpleasant for many listeners. The 28 mix, also nothing like the original, is rumoured to be the unreleased 28th track for ''[[Selected Ambient Works Volume II]]''.

The Sire Records (US) version of ''On'' contains only "On", "73-Yips" and "Xepha" in edit forms, followed by the Reload Mix of "On".

It is also interesting to note that on both releases, the title "On" is only mentioned once: in the tracklist of the ''On'' EP.
