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 Posted: Saturday, Sep 01, 2001 @ 11:07 am Courtesy of Jonty Adderley @ http://www.skrufff.com
----------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
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.
