Aphex and his catch phrases

i was bored and thing about stupid things when i realised
aphex is a bit of a deamon when it comes to the one line
wonder catch phrase some of his most famous songs feature
such catch [hrases i mean we all remember and know what song
they are from
for instance....
"COME ON YOU CUNT LETS AHVE SOME APHEX ACID"
"mashed potatoes"
"i would like some milk fomr the milkmans wifes tits" etc
etc

because electronic music normally lacks a lyrical base its
so difficult to reference things you like or explain the
song to people
you cant exactly say "you know the one, the track that goes
blib bong waddly blip blip gabba"
but with aphex and his catchphrases its much easier

i wounder if he ever met Mr Chips

Yes because out of over 250 about 8 of them include a
memorable word or phrase.

You're just not doing it right then...for example I say "do
you remember Ventolin? It is the one that starts off
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
which continues for the duration of the track?

aphex tracks are a lot more recognizable than many
electronic acts, cause he doesn't stick to one sound or
style

you could say "you know the one that sounds like a bouncing
ball?" and you know what track I'm talking about

this is fair point
but generally it is awkward to describe it to the musically
less endowed

that doesn't make sense - his doesn't stick to one style so
he's easily recognisable.

diversity within electronic music is more recognisable.

i had to type it just to see, you're right aswell.

oh yeah, okay then

there's nothing in wordless electronic music to catch on
your memory so any lyrics no matter how minimal or spare or
repetitive they are stick in your mind

That's true, most people that are vaguely familiar with
Aphex always reference Milk Man.

Most people's music tastes are awful, unimaginative, but
mostly lack curiosity. This is gospel truth.

Sorry, I know this thread has probably evolved onto another
subject but there's too much I've got to read and.......
I've got a catch phrase (or more accurate, "I've got a
phrase")!

I hate it when people buy my music, it's my music not
theirs.
I want it back.

Caustic window is an edited anagram of Aphex Twin, and so
are the titles on ICBYD (like no one ever thought of that)
Really, look up an anagram server, and start playing around
with aphex's words, you'll run into surprises alot
