If you don't like an Aphex track

He must be joking and having a laugh at the expense of
everyone who does like it.

I love this logic and twitchard a phrames is the only artist
whose music I have ever saw this strange behaviour occur
around.

Why do YOU do it?

What the fuck are you talking about man?

What does RDJ do that no one else does? I can't seem to
garner any sense from this post.

When I read about Aphex tracks, here and elsewhere people
try to explain away tracks of his that they don't like as it
being Richard having a laugh, or taking the piss out of the
scene. It happened with Smojphace, the recent topic I
bumped where someone implied the Ventolin remixes were a
joke to intentionally make himself look bad.

It's as though some people are scared to admit that there
are some tracks of his that they don't like and they try to
explain it away by implying that Aphex never wanted people
to like them in the first place.

As far as I have witnessed this sort of excuse making has
only ever been levelled at Aphex. I just wondered why
people do it.

I hope this makes more sense.

I though the entire Come to Daddy EP sounded like a joke.
Luckily it was a funny, well thought out and totally rinsing
joke, so it doesn't really matter.

I think there is a lot of humour in his music...however I
don't think (I may be wrong) that he would release something
he feels has no (or very little) artistic merit what so ever
just to piss off fans.

don't you think it'd be even more silly, if you'd think of -
let's say smojphace, really high, and then latter discover
that it was just afx taking the piss out of the fans...that
isn't too fair towards his fans imo...

yes, but all I am saying is if you don't like it you don't
like...I am not trying to say force yourself to like
everything :D

Just don't make excuses when he releases what, in your
opinion, is a duff track.

i see...yes, i agree on that very much...i wouldn't mind if
i'd find out smojphace was just a joke...if i'd like the
music that is :) which i don't, and that is why i expect
something really good to be released really soon!!

I think this has happened with Aphex Twirp because he has
released a few "jokey" tracks - the ones that contain a bit
of noise that translate into pictures.

but you are completely right - this behaviour annoyed me
very much when smojphace came out.

you could hear little hearts breaking all over the world in
disappointment and then the "He's Just Taking The
Piss"-brigade tried to rescue lives. ha ha.
