definitelly my favourite artist, and is most likely going to stay my favourite for ever! there are a lot of people trying but no one come close to what he does..i heard a lot of all sorts of music and came accross some brilliant artists in all possible genres but i still like rdj the most. what a guy! <3

i usually dislike hyped artists, but aphex is another story..more hype there is around him better it makes me feel :) there's so much to his music, but some people (qrter) just don't want to admit it :)

just listenig to breezeblock set and its so fucking great.
the ultimate trusim is .. its ALL about the music. evrything else, the vids, image, jokes, mediia is utterly fluff but....
because aphex has touched it, its ok and can be enjoyed too. He really has a magic that touches things.....
When i think of all those folks who, when they hear RDJ thse days, dismiss it as noise, or topo harsh or not right, i can't help thinking its as bad denying you were once a child.

I just don't get it, Goran - you listen to lots of music that is so much more interesting than what he has produced.
I have, therefore, come to the conclusion that smoking all that dope has finally destroyed your brain.

i know you're joking about the dope..
as for music..i find it interesting as well actually. there's this pop form to his songs that im not a big fan of when it comes to other musicians, but in his case there's something different to it. i can't quite say what it is, just something that makes it incredibly interesting for me...and i don't think it has much to do with the fact it's aphex..well, a little surely, but i doubt i would be enjoing it this much just for the sake of who made it.
i like nirvana as well, remember, i guess there's a bit of similarity in their and rdj's music and why i like it..

It's encouraging that young tolstoyed, who owns over 8,000,000,000 records from one end to the other of the cultural spectrum, still rates The Twin as the best. I rate Aphex the best, ever since I first heard him back... back.. what.. 13 years ago? I can still listen to everything he's ever released and never be let down.
I only hope he does come round some time to doing another proper album.

It depends on what you're into, but he does have a knack of seeming to make amazing music, like it's just something he threw together on a rainy afternoon.

Aphex Twin was the first artist to get me interested in electronic music -- and he'll always remain one of the great composers of the late 20th century in my mind. Never did I think that i could get into an album with virtually no beats (ambient works, vol. II)

I think a lot of people in the 90's, even good musicians, felt like they had to conform to the trappings of a particular genre. Aphex just did whatever the fuck he liked, and did it well.

There's a stereotype of a lot of dance music being made in bedrooms. Do you do a lot of that yourself?
Yeah, I can't do music anywhere else. It's got to be in the bedroom basically. You get to do tracks in the nude and if you're working in the studio, you just can't do that.

Aphex Twin dismissed going on tour with Radiohead: "I wouldn't play with them since I don't like them."
that just made me like him 10% more! <3
