"I am honored to be here."

Taste dat phrase once more:

"I AM HONORED TO BE HERE."

who the fuck fuck would feel honored to be on xltronic.com?
that's the most ridiculous thing EVER.

this is a free for all cesspool.

i've always been curious as to precisely what and for whom
you advocate

random thought -- assumption is he's a millionaire, but who
knows, really? people have blown bigger fortunes through ten
years of partying and buying stupid shit like tanks.

Sometimes, I wonder if AFX browses these (and other,) forums
and just thinks:

What have I done.

yeah, syntheme. i actually feel it was a sound business idea
in a general sense, but not well-suited to the level of
anorakism IDM possesses. with all that obsessiveness, it was
just a matter of time until someone realized it was a facade

I don't recall it, no. Reinvigorate me with the memory.

He is worth- IIRC...- 8 figures. No shit. And I think it's
okay for me to pass on pretty pointless figures, because RDJ
has stated publicly in interviews that he was a millionaire,
even before that even made sense. Dude made some wise
business decisions and struck perfect deals in the 90's.

And I know this from casual discussion when I was in London,
about his divorce and shit, before most people even knew he
was married. I am not friends with RDJ, but we have mutual
friends.

In summation: RDJ is a true musician and will always make
music. But due to arrogance, he prolly thinks he's better
than all his fans, and fur serious- there is absolutely no
fucking positive reason for him to release anything under
the Aphex Twin moniker.

well, i'm just speculating, i admit. i was just thinking of
these quotes:

"Loads of countries have ex-military gear that they want
rid of," he explains. "Missiles, rockets - you can get all
that shit. You could probably buy a battleship if you had
enough money." How much was the sub? "About £40,000.
They're really cheap." Can it be submerged? "Of course. It's
totally pukka. You could live in it. It hasn't got any
torpedoes," he says, suddenly forlorn. Then he brightens. "I
was thinking of getting these rockets for my tank.
Side-mounting missiles. Just think: thousands of pounds for
just one push of the button."

"I really don't know. I've got a couple of little ideas.
It would be more a case of just quitting it and then
thinking about it later. I'm not a really good planning
person. I really don't plan anything. I just do things and
follow my nose basically."

just didn't strike me as the planning sort. in any case, i
have no doubt he lives comfortably, those gigs still pay
well.

thanks for linking the story behind the remote orchestra. i
never really knew how it worked because I skim/ignore PR,
but tend to listen when artists i like talk about their
work.

anyway, he’s probably making enough on synch requests to
stay low. i dig all the unofficial releases in the meantime

I haven't even "search engined" (like with the NSA eye of
sauron google for example) "aphex twin forum" etc for the
past 85 years. Probably xltronic is on page 267 now. It
might rank pretty good for the word nigger though. Now
that's some good SEO real estate, bringing in all the cool
peeps who won't let the illuminati divide and conquer us
with their petty fake race politics. There will be a
rebranding of the word nigger to refer to rich people.. like
aphex twin. Aphex Twin is in the .001%. He belonged to the
propaganda arm of a CIA think tank, fusing subliminal
messages with hypnotic sound patterns spread with viral
advertising. It was weaponized music to complement the
weaponized food, all soft kill so reptilian psychologists
and doctors, who are slowly converting our atmosphere into
theirs, can leach us monetarily with their anti free market
price inflated monopoly systems.

if i were aphex twin, i would just ghost write for dub step
producers but make it just bad enough so no one notices, and
rake in the cash.

RDJ is puffing a joint and dropping a deuce at the same
time, and loving every minute of it.

Stalking nut job loner? We have mutual friends. What the

And as long as you're here to hold my hand and massage my
shoulders, how could I ever be lonely?
