I notice that Richard James has a deceased brother by the same name. This same odd situation happened to Salvador Dali. Does anyone else find this interesting?

Dali also poured hot coffe with milk over himself in the morning because he said it felt nice.... does richard?
he also almost strangled himself because he wanted to do a lecture in a heavy metal diving suit.... Beard? Genius? hmmm......
Note: this isnt something absurd i write for funs sake, its true!

Some of Dali's paintings are quite brilliant. Another connection with AFX: It is said the video to "On",was influenced by the works of Dali.(Jarvis Cocker directed this as i'm sure you all know by now).Many thanks for your time and patience. }:>

Dali was pretty tripped out. How about a Dali exhibiton in a gallery where Aphex music is played? That would be cool.

Richard is brilliant!
Dali was even more so. =) His work is a testiment to the originality of a unique and exccentric man.
I believe we all would like to leave such a reputation behind!

I saw a doc recently about the Dali-Disney linkup...could have been amazing but Dali being Dali was a bit too much for WD to swallow and the project got aborted...

Disney was pretty avant-garde for his day...You can really see the influence of Surrealism in Fantasia; and that was produced back in days when not that many people even knew what surrealism was....
I seem to recall RDJ once stating that Dali was his favourite artist...they do seem to have many similar themes i.e. Dreams, Childhood etc...

nacmat, I saw a spanish bullfight (novillada) in Arles, France. Pretty intense, to be sure. They have Course Camarguaise over there, too.

Nacmat: I've only been to Spain once, to Menorca. It was really nice, excellent snorkelling and very cheap. The locals were all friendly and helpful and the hospitality in hotels and restaurants were spot on! _/\_

The Dali Musium just North of Bacelona is fantastic. I fail to see the comparison between the two, apart from attempting to push the boundries, but isn't this what true artists do?
And as much as I like the Aphex Twin, I think that Dali was far more pivitol to the way we look at art.
If anybody is interested in the surealist movement they should have a look at my favorite surrealist, Merit Openhiem, you will recognise her stuff even if you don't know who she is.

For those in the US....there is an excellent Dali museum in St. Petersberg, Fla. i also believe there is one in Florence, Italy that i have yet to see! =}
Great point about both artists pushing the boundries and opening OUR eyes, ears...gotta love that.
MC Escher's drawings are AMAZING, and i am familiar Openhiem as well! you should post a link so people will be exposed! =)
Regarding Spain...i have spanish blood running through these veins of mine, it would be hard for me not to love your country! =0) however i do take exception to the bull fights....bloodsport does not interest me, i am not a vegitarian but i do love animals and will not pay any amount of money to see them destroyed in such a manner. =(

seriously tho....i don't believe it has anything to do with cultural tolerance. i'm HALF spanish.....thats my culture....i'm just expressing MY beliefs about that particular 'sport' (doesn't think it should be termed a sport, but oh well)

bullfighting is not a sport it is art! dont worry i wont discuss this as i dont really feel atracted by it... i just wanted to make clear that it is not considered as a sport.
about killing the animal.... i know it is too cruel for you... well i assure you that cows and pigs are killed in a much crueler way (not only in spain)
but lecoeur: dont get me wrong i understand you dont like the animal being treated that way...
