"Analogue Bubblebath 4" was the fourth EP released by Richard D. James, under his commonly known alias, AFX. It is also the fourth release in the "Analogue Bubblebath" series.

The EP consists of four tracks (plus one hidden track on CD releases), done in alternating acid house/techno and ambient styles which were popular at the time. It was released in 1994 on Rephlex Records in both CD and 12" vinyl formats.

All tracks are untitled; only speculative titles based on sounds within the tracks have been listed. " [knievel] " is actually a heavily modulated snippet from a press conference with Evel Knievel, sometime after the Snake River Canyon incident.

Knievel interview

*Knievel: "There's a very fine line between being scared and concerned. Since I don't like to say I'm scared, I say I'm concerned. But you know what? I really might be a little bit scared." (pause) "Yes."
*interviewer: "Now can you tell me about the mechanisms on your bike?"
*Knievel: (clears throat) "Well, its a sky-cycle actually honey, its not a bike. Its a sky-cycle. There are only two sky-cycles in the whole world and I own them both. I have three, but the third one's at the bottom of the Snake River Canyon."
