Dunno if this is a repost, but here's the Sydney Morning Herald's interview with AFX :D Synths, Druqs, and RocknRoll ... and I didn't know about bleep.com 'til today :( WTF have I been.

This makes me feel way better about him: RDJ: "I have enough cash now so I don't need to release music any more. I never really wanted to release records; it was mates around me saying, 'C'mon, you've got to release this!'"

"James left an MP3 player on a plane that held a mind-boggling 282 new tracks."
Imagine finding that :D

"For a few years, I only made stuff on a laptop just because I wanted to train myself. But now it's like being released from a spell that I put on myself because I'm getting back into more physical inputs and loads of analogue synthesisers again."
I hope this means no more dull and hurried drukqs type releases.

I think that's the best news I've heard this century!
I liked Drukqs a lot, but I think he's been missing something since ICBYD - I'm really thinking his best work is yet to come.

To paraphrase: "I'm rich and living off of royalties and I'm now re-imbursing myself to use classic analog equipment again while I run you all over with my tank!".... Do I smell corruption by monetary disfunction.... I mean, he basically admitted to being a yuppie sellout. Just kidding.

hehe, I don't believe that mp3 player thing for a second!
And I think he does enjoy releasing music - I think it's probably a real need for him... Just he's very clever at projecting a certain image/character - and he always has been..
He always says things to get people talking - Which is great - We do need personalities in electronic music.

He's having a laugh basically; a bit of phun in interviews - I tend to think it's odd when interviewers try to dissect the music; Music is beyond language, We don't have the words, so we have the music...
