Does anyone else find it annoying?...When you are talking music with someone and bring up Aphex Twin...someone always says sonething stupid like: " Awww man, I like them alot" Seems to happen more often than not. Very fuckin annoying...Makes me wanna rip their eyelids off and feed em sleeping pills. |

Agreed.... Plus I always feel it sounds a bit anal to correct them so I generally let it lie & don't bother to say "It's just one guy, you know"... |

Agreed also....It is as if we might as well not let them know, we probably dont want them trying to learn anyways. :) |

It's apparently even in the book Glamourama by Brett Easton Ellis (The American Psycho guy)...The main character meets "one of the guys from the Aphex Twin"... Alledgedly, I add...I've read the book about 3 times and never noticed it myself, altho I was in Amsterdam at the time so that might explain my poor reading skills...:) Great book, tho... |

Who cares? Isn't one of the better things about IDM how ambiguous the artists personaes are? Thats one of the things that won my respect for the genre in the first place. |

Maybe they were including and giving respect to his dead brother (I guess that was his identical twin right?) as part of the mysterious force responsible for creating the music, like obi one kanobe guiding luke skywalker. |

Well, never had such situation when I talked to somebody else about The Aphex Twin - I think it's evident because of the "twin" and not the "twins", and anyone who likes Aphex and who has a little interest in the one behind the music will know that RDJ is only one man. |

When i say "aphex twin" people act confused. Also Dont act so high and mighty. Perhaps you could climb down from your all knowing aphex twin chair and tell the poor soul that its only one guy. I dont get why you people act this way. It i was rdj i would be flattered to think that it takes more the one person to make my music. |

Don't you find it annoying when people say "The Aphex Twin" to point out that they know it's only one guy, despite the fact that hardly any of his releases say "by The Aphex Twin". |

I say ore-tek-er. Plaid is a proprer word (a style of knitting/sewing) it sounds like "played", but with a I instead of a Y, e.g "Plai-d". It is cool that the band names are so hard to pronounce (and communicated verbally so rarely). It's great fun asking for their latest songs in a virgin megastores and watching the guy look at you like you're on drugs. I'm finally picking up my copy of drukqs tomorrow, it's been at my parents for 2 weeks now! |

man i cant believe people give so much of a shit over the way people say names. Geez get over it and listen to the bloody music. Like come on why wouldnt you just tell the person that they are often call by what ever their name is susposed to be rather then make fun of them. I hate people like that. Its like they get off on knowing that they know more then you do about something that really doesnt matter! |

I was wrong, you pronounce plaid "plad" (it is a style of sewn fabric, though). It doesn't bother me how you pronounce it, it's just that that guy asked. Oh, I always thought the pf lyrics were *gravy* train ;-) |

You think that's bad? I've had someone say "Aphex Twin? That's a band!" It's like, "No no no it's not, now run or I hit you with a nine iron." With NIN you can call it/him anything really, since it's everything |

I dont mind if people say that they like the Aphex twins.... They could soon find out if you just say in a happy voice with a chuckle... "Heh, It's actually one bloke! Mad int it? Yea... he's a cleaver guy" It's called learning? I dont know whether any of you have heard of it... |
