when you say that you like Aphex Twin to your friends and you played it to them, did they like react in a way as if 'What the fuck is this?' Am i the only one that shares this nightmare??? |

I played ICBYD at work. My collegues (after looking at me in disgust) made me swap it for Stone fucking Roses. |

Actually there's this girl in my class who saw the CD when I dropped it one day. She's like... who's that? I told her and she checked some mp3s out. Now she's so obsessed she has caustic window - compilations. Everyone else thinks I'm a frickin maniac though for liking them. Especially when something like Ventolin from ICBYD is blaring =] |

Yeah, I drove past some frat boys last week, who were groovin' to Limp Bizkit or something, I come driving by listening to Vordhosbn or CockVer10, one of those crazy tunes, and they looked like deers in headlights or something, bitches. |

Actually, a friends dad got me into aphex after lending me SAW 85-92 and another friends dad really liked that cd too. I got other aphex albums (Richard D James) and they hated that.....but its interesting, none of my friends would even listen to SAW for more than a minute before deciding its 'not their kinda music'. It takes some oldies (who I normally think of not being open minded about music) to listen to it. |

One friend, a work colleague and my dad all like at least some of Aphex Twin's stuff. One of my other friends tolerates it and can see why I like it. Other than them everyone is so stupid and won't listen to a track for more than about 30 seconds. Obviously their little, simple brains are overloaded by the big bad cacaphony ;-] |

Oh, there is one friend who said she liked the sound of Sqaurepusher but I think she was just trying to sound 'hip'. Still, if people can't be bothered to actually take some time out to try and actually listen to the music instead of hearing it, its their loss. I kinda like the fact its not commercial, because then I know its what the artist actually wanted to put down and not what the record company has put pressure on them to make. |

Yeah I hate that when people diss Aphex and co (square, u-ziq, autechre etc), they looke at me like :What a fuck is this shit!??!? I used to only be into old soul music like Marvin, Ottis, Al Green, Curtis MAyfield, HAayes etc etc and intelligent anti gangsta hip hop music and now my friends thinks im going insane when I introduced them to Aphex. One of my hip hop head friend told me to go to a mental hospital. I dont know if its so common that a black guy listen to this type of music either (I know that music aint about color), I got mostly black friends and they be like what is this? They like some of it though, like Cow Cud Is a Twin the ventolin remixes and some chill ambient stuff. |

No ones's ever given me a weird look, everyone I know likes the "Come To Daddy" video and they recognise the music, they don't recognise Windowlicker despite having seen the video though. And they just say "That's not Aphex" when you play something like "Milk Man." |

people i know like him ... maybe not everything, but they are all not soooo into it like me, so most don´t even know what he all did ... and if they don´t really can listen to it it always turns out like "well, not my kinda style, but fucking respect for what he does is amazing ... " |

I am teaching my friends very carefull 'the ways of the Aphex Twin'. Don't start with fuckin' Ventolin and expect them to like it. You will just scare the shit out of them. Every friend of mine who heard SAW likes it. In a couple of weeks I will introduce them to Surfing on sine waves and we will see what happends. |

Murray: Thankyou you have just inspired me for some artwork mate. I know one boarding house junkie ho loves this shit. The rest rip the piss and ll go to their rooms together listening to Nelly and Dre and shit like that. Crowds fuck me off. Common English townie cunts, the same fucking person over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and oer and over again. That pisses me off. AFX would have a bigger fan base if it wasn't for the fact that everyone wants to be the same. As soon as I see people who look like real individuals 90% of them like tha Twin. They are rude tunes but I also feel proud of myself for not being dense enough to be a clone. After listening to this shit for a year I realise it reall does shape you a bit. I'm not usually and over the top person but fuck 'odd looks' I got something more awesome than their ugly Adidas shoes can ever give them. Perhaps A little carried away I got. mmm, yes. |

i have yet to find anyone who likes aphex twin when i play it for them....other than my mom. i played "bucephalus bouncing ball" for her and it made her laugh. she said she couldn't really get into listening to it regularly because she doesn't have enough time to sit and actually thoroughly listen, but she respected it and liked what little she heard. anyone else i play aphex for gets pissed off at me (literally) and demands i take it out. some have threatened to throw my cd out the window (!!). |
