 Aphex Twin Disowns His New Album

 Richard 'Aphex Twin' James hasn't written any of the tracks
 on his new album Drukqs, he claimed this week in a bizarre
 and presumably tongue-in-cheek online interview. "Actually
 it's a compilation of all the fake Aphex tracks found on the
 world wide wank (world wide web)," James sniffed. "I didn't
 write any of them".
 
 Claiming he's nowadays so deaf that he mixes records by
 'smelling the groove', the Cornish experimentalist also
 claimed he signs act to his label Rephlex in return for
 'sexual favours'. He was however, more oblique on the drugs
 issue, skilfully diverting discussion of his own preferences
 ('what does dru(g)kq mean?' he quipped).
 
 The new album Drukqs, coming out on Warp/ Warners/ AOL in
 September, is Aphex Twin's first new material since 1997's
 Come To Daddy, which he previously said would be his last.
 His enigmatic reputation as electronic music's most
 experimental individual may be at some risk this time round
 though, according to the Virgin Encyclopedia of 90s Music.
 
 'It seems after a number of albums that much of his work
 tends to revolve around the same ideas,' the Encyclopedia
 says. 'Hysteria in the press may have obscured his tendency
 towards self-indulgence.'
 
 Richard James performs at London's V&A Museum this Friday
 evening (31st August) where he'll be joined by Ovuca,
 Cassetteboy and Rob Hall.

 | yeah, he said all that in the interview with greengalactic.com. when i first read it, i thought he was
 just being an ass for the sake of being an ass, i knew he
 had a reputation for bullshitting in interveiws but never
 this bad...then i read the site's little statement of
 purpose and understood why he was being so harsh...and also
 felt kinda proud that he handled it the way he did...

 | what a horrible company. i'm wondering if rich and his girlfriend are going to have a baby because he was saying
 something about him and her messing around with human
 embryos. maybe it means his girlfriend is pregnant or will
 be. rich as a father comes across as very strange to me. he
 was probably bullshitting though.
