Yup, sittin' on ol' Richie Boy's HD. It exists. It's real. It's there. Will we ever get to listen to the best new stuff? Nope! Because Aphex Twin only cares about himself. He's a selfish man who only loves himself and worships himself. That's life folks! |

We give him so much money and make him rich, yet he gives no fucks about us fans. NO FUCKS FOR US. Thanks Mr Aphex Twin. |

Dave Monolith sounds like The Tuss so in conclusion James released as Aphex on Warp but as DJ conflated identity on Rephlex record. EDMX is pro bably just him to so stop front. |

I think a lot of the problem is a mix of vanity, perfectionism and hesitancy or maybe just lazy complacency. The more Richard puts off releasing something substantial, the higher everyone's expectations are going to be. And he seems to just keep copping out by releasing under secret aliases or only putting out relatively minor, short releases. I guess I understand the whole alias thing because he just wants people to judge the music he makes on its own merit, or he is constantly exploring these different sorts of sounds and he feels they don't fit under a single umbrella or whatever. Another factor would be the whole piracy issue. I see Richard as someone who reaches out to a large audience who aren't necessarily obsessed with electronic music. These people are probably less likely to go see him live because they don't really see it as an actual "performance". So in effect you get tons of people listening to his music, most pirating it, and a relatively small amount seeing him live. So he tries to sort of milk it and play exclusive shit live so people will be interested. I think he needs to release some music to generate interest though. Some things such as releasing Analord only on vinyl initially and using song titles that would cause antivirus software detection, make me think that he's a little more pissed off about piracy than the average musician. I understand that the album was analog every blah blah, but it doesn't make sense for someone like him to be technology-resistant. The whole vinyl-only thing and virus titles thing sort of just reflects Richard's purist attitudes and possibly his patented troll nature, which has died down with age. This may not be the best however, because back when he was "trolling" the public, we were at least engaged. |

The alias thing doesn't work though because everyone knows it's him, even the ones that aren't. All this speculation as to his motivation is a waste of time as well. You can chat to him on this board under one or two stupid aliases and realise he's a manchild and that'll he'll never do a 'serious' release again and move on happy with your life. |

i agree with idle interloper regarding him keeping the good stuff unreleased so people will come to his gigs. he can get paid $100k for an appearance, without worrying about piracy. i feel somewhat miffed as a fan, though. i'd probably not be so upset if i were actually able to make it to his gigs without paying $$$ and dealing with an international airflight. he probably feels the same about playing in the US as i do about leaving it. but, christ, it's been years. release that "manchester track" that everyone blathers about. i've stopped watching gig youtubes because the sound is always shit and there are drunk neckbeards yelling. he mentioned having some crazy automated electro-acoustic stuff going on, but that "polynomials" orchestra thing (the one with the shining intro music) left me distinctly underwhelmed. it was too hippie-dippy haphazard. like those twats that do "graphical scores" and it comes out sounding like an orchestra tuning up.... i still hope he'll do something like "nanou" with automated woodblocks and music boxen, but this was not a good start. always wondered if the tuss was never officially acknowledged as aphex for legal reasons -- warner in the US claiming they owned the aphex name, allegations about an acrimonious divorce (he mentioned it in some interview). i was obsessed with aphex for ages, but i've begun to move on. if he doesn't care about this, neither should i. honestly, with the internet, i always have a massive backlog of new stuff to listen to... am seldom bored. |

have u thought about why one would want to release their music publically.. for cash? for acclaim or acceptance? to try and have an affect on evolution? to try and make people happy? etc etc. there must come a time when you've ticked all those boxes, and at this time when the reward is so commonly forum criticism or misunderstanding or disappointing sales compared to quantity possesing your music, or a risk of unchecking those boxes, why not just do what you do privately for yourself and your people. music is a usually a very self-centred thing after all. |

Actually I don't really care Everyone's copying Drexciya and Analord And even the copies are pretty good these days So I don't give a fuck About a gangster in a monster truck |

If Aphex Twin came out with a complex & fresh new album everybody would copy it with lame copies. It's funny. If Aphex Twin stays away the majority of music will be good. If Aphx Twin returns then the majority of new electronic music will be shit. |

have u thought about why one would not want to release their music publically.. laziness? being stoned all the time? because of midget porn addiction? etc etc. there must come a time when you've ticked all those boxes, and at this time when the punishment is so commonly forum criticism or misunderstanding. why not just do what you obviously should? admit that you love to be a lazy, drugged out midget porn addict, and shut down your sorry excuse for a website for good. it´s better to burn out than to fade awy. |
