The real reason Richard James hasn't released anything major in the past few years is because he's reportedly spending much of his time registering new accounts on various IDM net forums (including this one apparently) to take the piss out of other artists. I was told this yesterday by someone who actually knows Richard James quite well - someone within his close labelmates, - who ought to know because he has actually been asked by Richard himself to take part in a kind of dissing campaign against another artist - but little did Richard know that the artist he was attacking was already in touch with Richards mate. Apparently he operates several accounts on a few IDM forums So it's all starting to come out, and the shit is flying, as they say. I asked what Richard is like in person, and he described him like this: (this is word-for-word copied from my email): "he's quiet but funny with it in a toilet-humour sort of way. he's a shrewd bastard andhe can be quite manipulative with people around him and definitely considers himself above all the other musicians in the IDM scene. he's got a paranoid streak - he doesn't take criticism well atall. "" Now that confirms something i'd previously heard: that Richard never got over the poor reaction to Drukqs and that he was holding grudges against people who he considered to be stealing his limelight. |

Poor reaction to Drukqs? Eh? Drukqs did spectacularly well and continues to sell (for an IDM album) in big numbers. It also won him many new fans when it came out. Still, Smojphace was a bit of a joke, wasn't it? ;) |

i too have an aphex twin secret, however, its so radical and uncomprehendable that it can't be 'translated', so to speak, into words. i will reveal that it has something to do with the 'remixes' he did for nine inch nails :O !!! |
||||||||
|

|
|
yeah but that person is a tard or jealous |
||||||||
|

"Still, Smojphace was a bit of a joke, wasn't it?" ahem! you didn't mean that, did you now! you loved it. we all did. it was amazing. |

i don't see much dissing of idm artists. dissing reflects pooly on the disser himself. unless i know someone, dog_belch for instance, i won't listen to unfounded ramblings |
||||||||
|

|
|
Smojphace i great |

Are you making the exact same threads over and over again? I can't tell anymore. |
||||||||

YEAH THAT OTHER ARTIST SUX LOL |

Actually I spoke to Richard 2 days ago and he is currently working on a new album. The album will consist of 14 songs all composed and performed on an unaccompanied Casio VL-Tone. The working title is "Songs For Mum," and is set to be released in late February. |
||||||||

drukqs was in fact not very well received at the beginning but i mean come on - what can you expect after you release an album saying that it consists generally of poo and you just released it because you lost your mp3 backup ? - that storry was the biggest fake in idm ever actually. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
drukqs was the pinnacle of idm/awesome and he knew it. |

afx kicks live and always will. i would rather keep my live show memories than the cds i have. ermm..as long as i could go see more shows in the future id trade them. haha why am i trading anything !!! i can have both !! and i want both and need both ...so naaaaa from freqy |
||||||||

Well, Dicky's not doing a very good job is he, despite all this time apparently spent on the "boards", because I don't know which artist he's meant to be dissing. Who is it? Lory D? Proem? Or is it The Autehcre? However if he wants to sign up to and clarify who he's dissing, I will join forces and diss those bastards (whoever they may be) and expose them as the shamefaced charlatans who only got where they are today (which is nowhere) by holding on to RDJs trackie bottoms. See how good I am? |

always good for a laugh |

I want to believe Bill but fans already do a better job dissing the artists they like :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Heh, its probably true. I know at least one of his aliases on here, along with quite a few other famous types. It is funny when they argue with each other, but they probably know who each other is anyway. He makes good music and is a sexy man. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Yeah, that's the best Aphex account ever, next to µ's analord. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did he write those reviews? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's a secret |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's kind of heartwarming to think that Dicky is an unreconstructed berk, kind of charming in an old fashioned way, the Techno Jim Davidson. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahahha funny if its true |
||||||||
|
|

sorry, i don't know why i just posted that. it's rubbish |

He does an amazing middle American teenage girl. Right down to the Jesus talk. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But what is his secret for smelling so nice? Is it the same fabled tnt cologne that the immortal phobiazero uses? Anyway, I think Richard's parents singing happy birthday is top notch idm. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

i don't think he'll win any oscars |
||||||||

"and definitely considers himself above all the other musicians in the IDM scene." only when tom jenkinson isn't around. |

Who are you Bill Burroughs? You hate Philie T which is proof you know him in real life. You know friends of Richards friends. You are privy to top secret information. Who are you kind sir!? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

The ultimate irony, the answer was always there and we never knew until it was too late.... RICHARD D JAMES! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Bill Burroughs knows all the top stars, Bobby Davro, Little and Large, Steve Wright, Ricky from Eastenders, Wisp, Aphex Twin... The list is endless. |

If I reveal who I am on here, it will surely put an abrupt end to all the juicy info I'm able to share with you |

bill burroughs: masked purveyor of mediocre gossip relevant only to chelmsford-based aspergers cases with far too much time on their hands (and by gosh don't we love him for it) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
haha! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

If thats true its sorta funny. Being a Tyrant like this will normaly come back and bite you in the ass. from what his mate said bout him. well the tuss is v. popular in this scene. and anyone into IDM is into Drukqs i can assure you. Oddly enough rdj has kept quiet about the whole tuss thing which isn't making HIM popular for it either. just the music. which we all know is him anyway ...lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't see why someone like him, of great musical talent puts his time to waste by attempting to belittle other peoples achievements in the same field. These are sour grapes indeed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"he's a shrewd bastard andhe can be quite manipulative with people around him and definitely considers himself above all the other musicians in the IDM scene." Maybe he could learn how to make tracks without them clipping and hitting digital distortion, it'd really help. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think a great deal of those that we consider "Greats" in the fields of art, politics, science etc are, by and large, shits in everyday terms. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"chelmsford-based aspergers cases with far too much time on their hands " haha that is quite spot-on |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Maybe he could learn how to make tracks without them clipping and hitting digital distortion, it'd really help. LOOOOL was listening to SAW 2 just last night as well...although people say its annoying/amatuerish. I really like it, it adds to the whole charcter of the album. Its like some dirty cd found in the woods, like the blair witch project or something, the distortion and analogue qualityies really give it a gritty imperfect quality which makes the album better for me :D. |
