Sum up in a few words (or more) what it is they like about the Aphex Twin.
It doesn't matter really
For me I think it was the beatle song that really got me hooked. I liked the ambient works although why they have to be so short? (this is an afterthought) Then I was mostly just hearing the singles. I was listening to allot of techno at this time. But it was definately the Girl/Boy single that I liked-please let this be the right one so I don't look like an idiot ;}
Yea so I guess I just thought cool a song about beetles or something who knows?
I don't listen to any of that anymore I think it had it's time and place.

I got into Aphex Twin through SAW II. The thing that really struck me was it SOUNDED SO DIFFERENT. I had never heard anything like that. The music was so deep and moody; I once remarked it sounded like the Orb on powerful tranquilizers + hallucinagenics. :.)
I got around to collecting other albums (RDJ, SAW I, ICBYD, Caustic Window...) and then was impressed by his versatility. It seemed like Aphex Twin could do all kinds of music. When I found this site and others like it, I read the interviews and histories befind Mr. James. Turned out he was eccentric and uncompromising and INTELLIGENT as his music was.
Been listening ever since...

I think it was SAW 1+2, and drukqs. Those we're some his song that I heard first. The emotion is fantastic and some of the tracks on drukqs are so complicated that you cant even experience the whole song with 1 listen.

I just got into Radiohead, specifically Kid A... they opened my ears to music NOT centered around guitars, and Aphex is maybe the most important electronic artist... and accessible enough to make a good intro. Demented, but not fucked up enough to turn me off.

Not exactly sure. I just like the atmosphere, he can make really innocent sounding beautiful stuff, and also evil nasty stuff, or both at the same time. It does it for me...
