following up on this...
.0180871L
.0180871R
are both track titles on Analogue Bubblebath 3.
Now, I know that the L and the R stand for 'Left' and 'Right,' and they were once a single track, with the tracks playing, exclusively, in their respective channels. This doesn't sound like something Richard James thought was all that clever, especially since the two tracks dont synch up with each other. I think he worked backwards from this; purposely convoluding this track wasn't the initial intent. If any of those, my first guess would be (0) 180 871 1218. He's into mixing up and coding otherwise normal symbols of identification: personal and stage names (Arched Maid Via RDJ, Wet Tip Hen Ax, Hangable Auto Bulb also Bradley Strider) track titles (Laughable Butane Bob, the many different 'Aphex Twin' anagrams may be used in this case) vocals ("Taking Control," "Children Talking," "54 Cymru Beats") drums, melodies that distinguish certain songs, and many artists' works are manipulated (or completely obliterated) beyond recognition in his reworking of tracks like "Zeroes and Ones," his own "Ventolin," and "Spotlight."
So, there is no reason to think he wouldn't have looked at his phone number (considering it for use as a track title on an album of all numerically-titled songs; many of which may also be decipherable codes) and considered the following:
(0) 180 871 1218
"Hmm. Let's see, the 1218 part gives me two A's, a B and an H, (ABAH, a popular disco-crossover group of the 70's, thanks, Sweden.) or, it gives me an A, a U and an H, (AUH) or it can give me an L and an R." He then quickly glances at his headphones

sounds. "What if," he thinks to himself, beginning a tangent, (I've read interviews where he discusses his short
attention-span, thus the rapid and frequent changes and pacing of much of his music) "I put two different tracks in
each channel at the same time, a novel idea, but hey, it's based on a pretty stupid idea to begin with.. I probably won't spend much time on it." Which, he clearly did not, as
it totally sucks.

having rephlex's number is no big deal. anyone can get it quite easily if they are smart.
last time i called them which was some time ago, their answering machine had the theme music to airwolf on it. it was pretty funny.
getting anyones number is really rather easy.
