I would say Thom Yorke. Massive Attack in general are a fantastic group of musicians. John Lennon. Oh and that dead classical guy Scriabin. RDJ has a lot of stuff in common with these artists. Something they all have in common is that they like to evolve their music, they don't want to be on the same plain for too long. Massive, RDJ and John lennon have experimented with different substances which have influenced the direction of their music, and not necessarily in a bad way. Massive's collaboration with 'Mad Professor' is claimed to be one of the best weed albums ever made. Radiohead were definitly influenced by alcohol when making OK Computer and possibly Kid A but they did not use it as a means of creation, I don't know if RDJ specifically used acid for musical purposes either. Anyway, there is some stuff on Scriabin somewhere else on this site. The guy created the mystique chord, much like RDJ made his own instruments. He also based some of his work on feelings, like RDJ made Ventolin for the feeling of asthma attack, Scriabin made the Dark Symphony which Scriabin refused to play afterwards because it gave him nightmares. I stopped listening to the Nine Inch Nails and the Pumpkins after a couple of years, I used to be a really big fan. I never disliked any releases my brain just started rejecting it when I found better sounds. But hey that is only a personal point of view, I'm not trying to say they are shit or anything, I don't follow them anymore. I am going to see if I can come up with anyone else... |

Maybe Stockhausen - enigmatic, iconoclastic, extremely innovative, and alive... except Aphex is much more fun to listen to. No-one's done visual artists yet. Maybe saying Picasso is hyperbolical, but Picasso did come up with a new way of seeing things. RDJ's sense of humour might make him more of a Duchamps or a Schwitters - yes, one of those two. Duchamps would have loved Tamphex and all the psudonyms; Schwitters would have been impressed by To Cure a Weakling Child and Ventolin. Add a bit of Damien Hirst / Tracey Emin New Brit Art, but without the huge ego, and H R Giger for the alt-youth-cult status and Come To Daddy. Talking of Come To Daddy, Chris Cunningham is the perfect equivalent to Aphex in video form. |

duchamp would have dug the teddy bears and female body builders. picasso would have probably smoked a cigar with himand had a glass of Cognac. Mozart would have definitely made something very similiar to Aphex. I think Beethoven would have been in a league of his own. Even more crazy than Autechre. Who knows though? |

So I had a dream where the twin said he was Salieri. Then I find out that Salieri and him have the same birthday. August 18th right? That's Salieri's birthday too. Sort of bizarre. |

Possibly Squarepusher. He is the most accessible after you really get into Aphex. |
