Aphex Twin: IDM Vol 1-10 Coming soon on Warp Records |

"What was your motivation on starting the Analord series? In those records there's a series of elements that we weren't used to hearing in your last few records as Aphex Twin, from Acid House to more rigid rhythms and breakbeats that aren't over complicated. Did you have a concrete aesthetic for these singles?" - No, I didn't plan anything before starting to make them. But what is true is that the tracks I chose to include in the Analords were those in which I hadn't used a sequencer that had a monitor or screen. "What do you think of the astronomical prices that people are paying for the limited edition binder with Analord 10? On eBay there are people paying more than $300 for it..." - It flatters me greatly. |

"There are cheeky people there that say your intention of publishing a record included in a binder was to have the most expensive item in the history of the second-hand market..." - No, not at all. At Rephlex we made less money with that binder than we do normally with a normal record. Plus it's not released on CD, and today nearly no one buys vinyl. Which reminds us, you've never had a series of so many records published under just one alias, be it Aphex Twin or AFX. There's five "Analogie Bubblebaths", two "Hangable Autobulbs". But the "Analord"s there are eleven. Why so many records in one go? - I was starting to listen to too much digital music around me, and that was starting to damage my ears. I wanted to return to re-adjust the balance a little. "By the way, at the end of this month Warp plans to relaunch a CD of the two "Hangable Autobulb" singles? Why now, exactly?" - Because they've never been available on CD |

When you released "Drukqs", one noticed you were quit worried about the fact your music was available on the Internet and was shared illegally by millions of people. What's your opinion now about MP3s? Does it still bother you?" - I've always thought the music should be free and shouldn't have copyright at all, especially art. Grant, my partner at Rephlex, thinks in a completely different manner. But what I think is that if you want to give money to an artist, great, I am sure they'd be happier, but if you don't want to give them money and to listen to their music free, as well that's fine, because the fact that you listen to their music already makes them happy. The copyright is more about making money for businesses than protecting the artist. En any case, the artists make better music when they're poor... "Now it seems that there will return a grand explosion of Acid House and there are lots of records coming out. Is there an explanation for this? - Do you really think Acid House ever went away? No, it never left. |

Much is said over your relationship with the Warp label, and many rumours have been circulating: that you weren't happy with them, that you're next album would be your last... but you're still here. What can you clear up about all this?" - They're all false rumours, there's never been a problem between me and Warp. Nearly everything I've read on the Internet about me, the same as about other people who I know personally, is completely wrong. It's great when nobody can know you well because they don't ask. By the way, hello everybody. "After so many years innovating electronic music, it seems that people keep hoping you'll suprise them, which for you could be an unneccessary pressure that could affect the end result of your music. What do you do to isolate yourself from the comments?" - When you do something new and fresh, it gets old really quick, because always the same thing happens: people are going to copy you, and that stops me many times from making "innovative" music in that sense. So I try to limit the amount of material that I publish and what I do is accumulate a lot of material just for me. |

"When you compiled the material for "Analord" did you have in mind the DJs? They don't play your music often as it has many time changes and complex breakbeats, but the Analords are easy to play, say volume 3." - Yes, they're much better to mix because it's material a bit more repetitive and not so complicated. Plus, the sound is more full than most digital compositions, and for that they're more pleasing. " 'Analord' comes from analogue, and also is the title of a Luke Vibert track. In principal, the Analord series is made completely from analogue equipment. Do you have a problem with the sequencers and software?" - Well, "Analord" is my word that I once told Luke. We're good friends and many times we use the same words and we both use a load of the same expressions. But the thing about the analogue isn't true: I use sequencers all the time, variety is the spice of lfe, my good friend. "To finish with, do you think you'll shave one day?" - I don't believe so. |

"One last question. Some guy on ZL claims he met you at ATP 2007. A ginger fella. Tractern, I think he calls himself. Did you really meet this guy, or is he just bullshitting in order to gain esteem from his fellow XL-ers?" -Oh yeah, that ginger guy who asked me if I was gonna play the same set that night as the night before? Yeah, I met him, he was neato! I am in contact with him via frequent email. He is related to me, in a sense. |

I think its in Glamourama, a Bret Easton Ellis novel, but rdj is refered to as "the Aphex Twins" in relation to being on a guestlist or turning up at a club. Too much coke Bret.... |
