RDJ "disowns" drukqs...
 

rez from davis, CA on 2001-09-05 19:55 [#00029664]



this one made me laugh quite a bit. some of it you can find
in the interview here though... and also, this virgin
encyclopedia mentioned is CRAP!

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.

hey if this means richard didn't write drukqs, i don't mind.
that would just mean there are some incredibly talented gits
out there. cause it's an incredible album. methinks..
