Is it just me, or is it whenever someone brings up the man they call him 'they' and refer to him as Aphex Twins? Why aren't people a lil more informed ya'll? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because they're everyone's favourite band! ;) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
well you've asked that question to a large portion of people who never make that mistake... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
1 - there are 2 twins of a set of twins 2 - some releases were credited to "the aphex twin" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're not a regular around here are you? if you were you'd knew by now that there are two of them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
one of them communicates from beyond the grave though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's if you don't take into account that recent "revelation" on here... which puts the grand total up to about 7... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wonder if the 7 twins ever ponder these questions while they make their sweet music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
7 twins? does that mean there are 14 of them? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe there is a deadly twin for each deadly sin? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, now it really makes me wonder how many of them are there...i hope we get to the bottom of this |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
try to imagine multiplicity... only instead of Michael Keaton... RDJ... oh wait... come to daddy... and windowlicker... and donkey rhubarb (to some degree) as well |
||||||||
|
|

eh true elusive, im just happy they have heard of him unlike many, many others. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

D-Steak shut up, everyone here knows that aphex twin is one person. if you see people here talking about aphex twin as though it is some kind of band then the chances are they are doing it to wind people like you up. I know that's the case when i do it. |

If you have a first print of GLAMORAMA by Brett Easton Ellis, he mentions meeting the Aphex twins...always makes me giggle (Great BOOK btw - Terrorists, Xanax & Models...same guy who wrote American Psycho, so big gore warning to those with a delicate stomach..)... It's been corrected in later re-prints...(weird really, as it's rare for minor details/typos to changed like that...)... hehe...I'm full of useless facts...:).. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wtf, I have that book. on what page does he say meeting the aphex twins??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i remember hearing a track of aphex live in britain, being intro'd as "the aphex twin" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hate it when I talk about him and people go like "what? offspring???" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll find the page tonight....quite near the end... (First editions/Hardback only ).... Check out Amazons Text serach on Aphex Twin & you'll see that it's been changed.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Heh, pretty cool. Hmm strange that I didn't remember that quote... probably because when I read it I didn't listen to Aphex yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What I want to know is how many people the Aphex Twins need to play all those instruments!!1??? |
||||||||

He he, a book on remixing I have (which is otherwise well written and researched - aside from a couple of spelling mistakes) keeps refering to RDJ being in Aphex Twin as though Aphex Twin is a group. Pretty odd given how much the author is into electronica (about 1/4 of the book is interviews/quotes from warp/ninjatune/leaf artists) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that is weird. i guess people just assume the word twin means there is 2 people in it. weird. also knew someone who thought autechre was one person. guess they thoguht "how could 2 people want to do that, let alone one?" heh |
||||||||

how many aphex twins does it take to change a lightbulb? |

What IS an aphex twin, by the way? I once read something about it being a component inside MIDI-keyboards... |

There is a old old electronic component called an Aphex Twin....analogue I think... Mine of useless facts, ain't I...:).. |

Venetian Snares is also often referred to in the plural. Maybe because of the 's' on the end of Snares. I hear people (even those on the radio, who should know better) saying "yeah, Venetian Snares are my favourite group. They make some excellent music." |
||||||||
|
|

I second the plural vsnares motion |

They're one of my favorites. I like Pikachu Motherfucker and Outside Kickass Violin Solo the most. Honestly, I STILL fuck up regarding IDMers. Sometimes I don't know if an alias is one guy or two until I go and look it up. So I can't blame the n00bs. |

A = acid pH = level of acidity ex = something cool to put on the end twin = not sure also there is no dead brother.. no dead twin. that is bullshit. the grave stone is richards own, he family has their burial plots purchaced w/headstones already in place. |

THORS TWINS HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER OMG HI 2 U |

i dont know if the original version say "the aphex twins", but in the translated edition of a cunningham documental i saw on tv the narrator said "els aphex twin" (that is plural) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought the word aphex was taken from Aphex Systems, LTD. And the twin is a reference to his deceased brother, David. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It should have ALWAYS been ''The Aphex Twin'', to avoid confusion (maybe...), and because it sounds more intimidating. I always wished Pink Floyd kept their ''The'' in there. THE PINK FLOYD. Ooohh. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i read that aphex twin is in no way related to aphex systems |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well now. The word Apex means "top" or "the highest point on [...]" or "high point" or something like that. I don't know where the H comes from. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i think the rreason why is obvious. |

pomme is right about the aphex part (i read that in an interview somewhere, forget where tho) and xlr is right about the twin part. THERE! thus to sum it up for those too lazy to scroll: A = acid pH = a system of measuring the concentration of hydrogen ions in any solution (a pH below 7 is acidic, above 7 is basic, so saying its a measure of acidity is a bit off, but im nitpicking) ex = sounds cool twin = his still born brother also named richard d james (hense the cover of the girl/boy ep) |

Pg 408 of Hardback Glamorama... "...until Chloe walks in with famous ballerine, a well known former junkie just out of rehab and the Aphex twins, and all start chatting....".. Corrected in later prints & paperback... |
