in terms of richard d james...

afx?
aphex twin?
causitc window?
polygon window?

i'm curious which names RDJ released first. Was Afx first
or aphex twin? i'd do the research but its kind of hard to
figure out with out proper releases.

Maybe I'm completely wrong but earthleakage said he was
known as Duracell the carrot top back in the day.

ahaaha there used to be two black 'gangsta' type people who
dyed their hair orange who used to live by me when I was a
kid. We called them Duracell and Jaffa Cake (not to their
faces)

if i remember right these were names he gave to tapes to
sort stuff when he was younger (caustic window, polygon,
window, gak, blue calx)...
so technically they weren't aliases before and nobody knows
wich one came first in his mind, but for released stuff it
is probably aphex twin (first pressing of analogue
bubblebath on mighty force was aphex twin) even if the
polygon window stuff is rumored to be from 89 as is the
universal indicator red, they probably were released
after...
