I'd read this before on dotmusic but I read it again and thought I'd quote it becasue its quite funny and I like it -
"This is, after all, the man [AFX] who's spent most of his time since the mid '90s running from those who would worship him. He's declared he's giving up music more times than Mr Fingers but the more fans proclaim him genius, the more he messes them about. AFX fans, being perverse buggers, proceed to then love him even more. It's a laughable situation; one that James no doubt chuckles about himself, before releasing limited edition 7" of his own farts (remixed)."
So true...but the fart tracks *do* sound good =)

In the same review for drukqs they guy says -
"He's a one-man brand: 'Druqks' even bares the inscription "Aphex is a registered trademark of Aphex Systems Limited and is used by permission (This must be used in same font, text size etc. as rest of artwork and clearly legible.)" Well let's hope the world's dotmusic-bearing browsers do you right Mr Twin, Dadist font size accuracies and all."
A) He couldn't spell Drukqs correctly B) I don't think he realised RDJ isn't joking, that Aphex *really* is a trademark for the people who make the Aural Exciters.

I remember I went on some site where they had the rolling stone review, followed by a shit load of fan reviews, and the average score by the fans was 3 1/2.
Oh yeah, it was a women who did that review.

yeah come on... 1 star? If Brittney Spears recorded a session on the toilet she'd get a higher rating... 1 star is rediculous...

"Aphex is a registered trademark of Aphex Systems Limited and is used by permission (This must be used in same font, text size etc. as rest of artwork and clearly legible.)"
That bit on the back always makes me laugh...Aphex Systems lawyers obviously made him put it there (and to fuck em a little, he took their exact words from the letter and stuck em on the album)...
Thats the sort of fuckery we love RDJ for...

I've never really been one for critics anyways, most of the time when the critics really like something, I don't at all.
And I will say that RDJ's music isn't for everyone.

I find that most reviewers praise up Aphex Twin... ones that I've read anyways... and Boards of Canada... Allmusic.com has given everything by Boards of Canada like at least 4.5 stars... which they deserve of course...
