Twin Aphex - incompris Creator or genius of the alpages? (French)
It is very difficult tarir of praises with regard to a major actor in the musical creation since more of ten years, the one of the bigger schizophrènes of the musical world, I named D Sir Richard. James. And nevertheless after the listens Drukqs, his 7 album, something operates itself, an internal debate s'enclenche itself.
Here lusters that this interpelle artist always more of world, musters the publics, widens his audience well beyond the simple fans of electronic musics, with original expérimentations, interesting by their étrangeté and sometimes frank captivantes it is necessary to well say it. But even where this evolution does she have us fasciner? Do not risk do us to lose our free agency when almost-unanimity is done around an almost sanctified personage? Acting itself here abstracted music, to the direction of experimental one, not referring itself to any tendency, any norm, it is difficult to appeal to its habitual indicators. Then necessarily, one takes the critic into account, opinions, and then it can happen that one loses l'objectivité, neutrality. Then has-one necessarily itself gargariser of the new Twin album d'Aphex?
Torture room? Here, the radicalisme, pushed to his paroxysme on all the titles, maintains the tension in continuous, despite the hit of frequent ambient interludes. Not any compromise, therefore, in an intersidérale war where industrial sounds and déstructurés beat break confront themselves to jungle rafales blow hardcore. And then when the cyclone separates itself, this is to leave the place to a frank disturbing calm. An atmosphere weighing, therefore, matérialisée by sonorous expérimentations torturées, lacking in all beat, where sharp metallic sounds tear empties it on melts saturées resonances d'infrabasses… Bienvenue in the haunted universe of the Aphex professor, more blocked than never, where resound screams of terrorisées women. Are we confined in a torture room? Non, one broadcasts us simply the band-his of nightmares of a man, a surangoissé. One then is pressed réentendre the passages to the rhythmic surchargées, so this emptiness freezes for us.
« Where is located the limit between music and noise? » Hermétisme Thus, the general mood is particularly dark and disturbing, included when the compositeur seems to want to rest the spirit for us with melodies to the piano. But simplicity and the sadness of these do not do, indeed, that to express the déprime threshhold attains by a genius, pétri, visibly, of a deep evil-be (as this is often the case with the geniuses) and of which l' œuvre, this time, totally inaccessible east (be frank). Difficult with s'extasier itself, therefore, in front of such a hermétisme. Difficult also of cerner the gait of the artist for opposite to usually, most of the compositions of this album do not touch. Certain pieces, although very worked, seem even of a déconcertante poverty. Provided that our genius does not confine itself too a long time in this very personal gait…
The marginalité, yes, maisAlors, true névrose or very taken of part radical délibérément in reaction to the tendency having consecrated the down tempo sirupeux and other deep - « funky-jazzy-latino » - house, accouchant of the method henceforth incontournable of Lounge; maybe is this all simply the two at the same time? For it is necessary to well admit it, the electronic music itself démocratisant to big speed V, she does not stretch to itself radicaliser (in all case not to the level of the stars of which does evidently left Twin Aphex). Then for or against the music « blocked », in all case a thing is sure: once again this is besides-Sleeve that one takes the more of risks. One would reply: « yes but it is necessary to replace too lounge and of house commercial by noise? », Then the big debate on the contemporary art (concrete music…) is relancé. Where is located the limit between music and noise? Does it exist only a border? But anyway, when a disc does nothing but to break the ears the question « is this very necessary one? » Arises with a lot. The marginalité, yes, but when she brings something new, of unpublished one, or, in all case, when she obtains at least an emotion…
A œuvre that cools… And if this dear D. James had himself concocté all that, wearied of a démesuré success that the l'ennuierait. The king of the vice would have therefore pushed his malice to to create a œuvre that cools, that restricts a unanimity disturbing? Finally, the master of the l'underground wishes maybe to remain underground per hour where its past experimentations almost became the norm, in all case a method.

he seems to either be informing us of where Richard's direction is going/went after Drukqs...........
...or it's the end of the world.
