Aphex Twin = Narcisistic?

I'm curious, most people in his videos have his face on
them, the children in come to daddy, the bears in donkey
rhubarb, and the woman in Windowlicker.

My theory is that in the windowlicker case, he is so in love
with himself that he wants to have sex with himself. Just a
theory, not dissing.

methinks it's rather making fun of obsessive fans, who
devote their lives to their idols, acting like sheeps and/or
losing their personalities maybe / only living for their
idols... but your theory might be true as well (maybe both
are!)

...and welcome! :)

certain rdj tracks ends make me feel hes a little narcistic,
not like simple ends, but almost like movie ends...certains
should be more simple imo
(i have no exemple in mind, but i felt this way with four or
five afx tracks

I had a theory the first time I saw Windowlicker, I thought
of Aphex as an entity of evil, and the seduction of the
hommies by the hoochies(whose face wasnt noticable to the
hommies) was a metaphore for lust and temptation. How evil
isnt always obvious. its hard to explain but I think its
sorta clear.

Although, narcisism might be it. Considering the Cornish are
known for inbreeding.

Yeah, these videos are all from the mind of the one and only
Chris Cunningham.

he might be. i think it would be a bit hard to accomplish
all the things he has without being one.
