Alberto Balsam is a song created by electronic artist Richard D James, more commonly known as Aphex Twin, from the album ...I Care Because You Do. The name is taken from a British hair care product company.

The song is 5.11 in length and created from IDM analogue machines. The beginning of the song features a strange voice laced with a gargle effect repeating a word that sounds like 'baby' or 'bubbly' or "double U". Unusually, but not to Aphex Twin, a sample of a non-working cigarette ­lighter being flicked and a heavy door being jammed is used as percussion throughout. The song also has strange bathroom-like acoustics and additional two tonal percussion samples reminiscent of a stick hitting a metal handrail.

Alberto Balsalm is extremely different from all other songs ...I Care Because You Do. Whilst every other song on ...I Care Because You Do is akin to the industrial drill and bass or IDM Aphex Twin is known for, Alberto Balsalm is quite an ambient and etheral song, sounding parallel to songs from Selected Ambient Works 85-92. The song also has many jazz and trip-hop influences in it's structure.

Alberto Balsalm also tends to not be as repetitive as the other songs on ...I Care Because You Do and features more advanced and varied song structuring. Recorded in 1994, it is one of the more recent songs on the album.
