I was wondering if anyone has any idea as to what Richard's plans could be for the coming time. Will he be releasing more songs? Will he be playing gigs in places other than England (actually, London) ? I'm curious. I've been a fan for quite some time, and am still awaiting the possibility to come and see him in action without having to travel outside my own country, and without spending all my money... Maybe my dream will come true one day... |

No one knows (except u know who). }:> |

That's the problem... I think it's kinda sad that an artist who has such a giant fanbase cares so little about the people that admire him... Think he's scared of us? |

It all contributes to record sales. }:> |

Maybe so, but i'd think he'd sell a lot more if he came to the mainlands some time to show the ignorant people around here what a genious he is! Hardly anyone i've met here even knows who he is, or has heard any music of him! |

Hmm, it's one thing to have some mystique around you, another to be an unappreciative cunt to the people who made you rich |

haha... but isn't his music enough? remember, that IS what u gave him ur money for in the first place... WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM HIM!?!?!? ; ) |

more music would be nice I don't want his head on my wall, like |

exactly... he often says he wont release any more shite... If i compare this to Autechre, they release loads of stuff... Music is what i want... And a chance to admire him at work... is that so much to ask? |

he has no responsibility to pander to the whims and wishes of his "fanbase" - that is why he isn't a mainstream artist... he likes to make noises that appeal to him, and if other people like them enough to buy the noises he makes, then so be it. if you want music, the drop some acid and go lie beside a bubbling brook |

yes, true marlowe... this isn't limp bisket w/ their "oh, we love our fans so much.. we made this new album just for them.. u see, the market research suggested that they would like this..." -attitude |

heheh i'm glad for that 'one two one two, chocolate starfish and the hotdog flavoured wateeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!' |

All well and good, but he doesn't have to whitter on in interviews about how "I've got all these MP3s which would blow your head off, they're totally revolutionairy but I don't wanna release them cause they'll be ripped off by loads of people"... If you've got em, fine, but don't bloody goad us! And I'm not telling him WHAT to make, I'm just saying it's a bit of a pisser to build up a solid fanbase over 10 years then turn around and say "I'm not releasing this stuff"... I mean, it's done, he's happy with it... why not share it with people who appreciate it? I bloody would |

Maybe this is an attempt to keep out of the mainstream? And i'm sure that drukqs was an enormous profit (maybe even a deliberately planned commercial success ) even though it's an album with 6 or 7 really good tracks? Could be all strategy... |

He's a bloody awkward sod,and we'll just have to put up with it. }:< |

I suppose... I don't mind really, I just hope he does treat us to some of his deepest archives... mind you, going on that NME review... "If any of these tracks make it out of Aphex's hard drive and onto plastic, they'll shift millions" That may have put him off |

Maybe if he dies one day, we'll inherit the lot! Err, just ignore that thought actually ;) |
