OK, so this chapper RDJ is a prankster and a compulsive liar - this we know. So how come we take anything he says in interviews as fact? He says most of the music he's made is sitting on the shelf and will never be released. He says his best music will never be released because he doesn't want people copying it. How do we know he's not lying about that stuff? Maybe he sits on his ass all day and churns out new records when he wants/needs money. Hmm? I'm not saying this out of disrespect for the guy - his music is some of the best out there. He's a true innovator in the electronic music genre. He's inspired countless amounts of other people to make their own creative electronic music. Honestly, most modern musicians owe something to the guy... but how much are we glorifying his existence and his work? Could we be overdoing it? There's no questioning his genius, but are we at least able to question his integrity? By the way, does anyone think he may want to maybe release a new fucking album? It's been, what, a decade? At least, it feels like that... =/ |

i don't think it really matters as long as you still enjoy his music. there isn't really any use for 'what if' questions here. Imagine him alll of a sudden releasing an album saying 'alright you cunts, here it is, my best work ever. Hope you're happy now because i quit.' THEN WHAT? so, enjoy what you have, and go to one of his gigs at least once in your life. |

Meh. I suppose you're right. I saw him at Coachella, and even though I hear a lot of people criticize that gig because he didn't play "his own music" (I've heard that criticism many times now, and I don't understand it... it sounded/looked like him playing his music?), I loved it. Would do anything to see him again... |

i put little stock into anything he says in interviews. I do find the thing about all the unreleased music inspiring in some way... although I'm no aphex twin in that regard... fuck... i have hundreds of hours of unreleased music... its all on an MP3 player I left on a plane. |

I guess it all really just boils down to what of interest to you. For me at least, the interviews and stuff of that nature don't interest me, I just listen to the music, and I don't really care about knowing about the person who makes it a whole lot. |

Next thing you know he will be playing with hecker or something. duh? - Arma-dill-do's I can assure you aphex does not need more money to support his lifestyle he earns enough from selected II on all the hilter/mass muderer/crimewatch type documentarys, Plus the 30,000 euros per set x 3/4 per year. I don't think he and Flue Sherbert is going to turn Redruth into some Aphex tourist attraction in the way Ricky Stein has with Paidstow. All you need to know about Rich is it all balls and hype. It is all about the music. This is why he is the best. Because he is a true originator. I am the one and only dominatoooor! repeat. |

he's the best at being him. as is every artist the best at being themselves. you may prefer one from the other that might constitute 'best' for making you feel a certain way that you perhaps enjoy. go on youtube "he's the best " no he's the best " really oh they all are, are they? o.k. |

i would not trust him to retile a kitchen or do any complex plumbing work, he would probably feed your fish while you're on holiday if you ask nicely though |
