How big/well known is Aphex Twin in the States? It seems like there are a hell of a lot of AFX fans from the USA and Australia(?!) here...even on the joyrex msgboards. |

I'm in Canada too, only like 2 of my friends listen to Aphex Twin, or even electronic music in general. Most of the people I know listen to punk and hip-hop. I guess Aphex twin isn't very popular where i live in Canada (Saskatchewawn. yawn). |

i'm from southern california, and my friend (whom i will call the eclectic bobby) introduced me to a wide variety of music, from aphex to floyd to nofx (which was actually just a phase). for a bit of time, i thought stuff like aphex twin and boards of canada were our little secret. then i met the friend who introduced it to him, then i realized (especially at work) there were a lot of other people who were into and in fact loved aphex twin. basically, when i told everyone i was going to coachella, it was either, "sweet, you get to see weezer!" or "sweet, i heard aphex twin was performing ..." -- even if he pulled out. there is definately a fan base here. |

I come from a small town in Ohio. there are a lot of people who listen to aphex twin. And a guy at a used record store suggested I try the RDJ album. and that is how I got into aphex twin. but here in the big city only a few people I meet and I meet then in odd places too. |

Actully it's not really Edmonton. It's Sherwood Park, it's like 10 minutes from Edmonton. He doesn't go to school, he's a fire man. |

I got into RDJ when I was down in Frankfurt, they had all his CDs up till Come To Daddy then. I thought 'Im never going to be able to get these in the states', so I ended up scouring the city of Frank. for all the AFX and later SquarePusher music I could get my hands on.Now that would be fine and well if Germans didnt charge like 25 bucks for a cd. Much to my dismay, by the time I got back to the states, every Newbury Comics record shop had all the disks I bought at about half the damn price.So much for enlightening my friends about braindance. |

5 years of my life that i have liked aphex, most of my life i have liked electronic music of some sort, and i have met NO ONE with the same musical tastes, so at least you canadian ppl can talk about it with each other, only on the internet do i find people who like the same stuff as me, sad isnt it? |

I herald from the UniteAmericanState =<{whatever}>= anyway, there are a fair # of aphex fans here. I was the only one in my small (2400 ppl) hometown for about 5 years. Now all of the ex-skate punx (I have nothing against skateboarding, by the way) are into it. they throw it around to feel intelligent and "indie". Makes me cry a lot, actually. They only use SAWII though, oh, and "Daddy" to feel hardcore. They used to make fun of me because my music was fake (i.e. made with computers). They're the ones that subscribe to MTV. They were "really" punk and they were "keepin it real" for punk because "punk's not dead" and "skateboarding is not a crime". (sad, tired cliche's). Again i have nothing against punks or skateboarding (i enjoy both) but these little boys that were "punk" and "real" that got 2 years older and drive Saabs to school. No joke. So now, they like to tote RDJ album with them, talk about how "wicked cool" Daddy is, or whatever. The world is strange to me. i don't understand. It's difficult. I still love the Twin, but it makes me feel bad that people may asociate his music with these fools... But I digress... There is a huge fan base here. You can but RDJ at any mass market music store, even through CD clubs like BMG, anywhere has it. So, good or bad, there is plenty of exposure. Most people that listen to music know of him. Since there are Canadian afoot: Does anybody know where the gravestone inside RDJ album is? i always heard that it was somewhere in Canada, but I don't know that for sure. I don't know why it would be there, but I would like to go there someday. "What I see.... is beyond all your dreaming.... once you have sublimated your desires to me....you shall be free..." |
