"The Exorzist

Richard D James alias Aphex twin with "electronics the
Abstrakt" Festival

Who has the maddest laptop? Naturally Richard D. James,
which is not content with apples of the bar, but in the
Pathos transport with "electronics the Abstrakt" Festival
graceful designed designer equipment anstoepselt. Also the
music, which the Guru from Cornwall publishes for ten years
with its "Rephlex" label and even under the artist name
Aphex twin, is not anything for average consumers. Like no
second the blond Huene with the chest-long hair drove the
abstraction of electronic sounds into radical extremes.
Instrument alkene length, rhythm, clock and melody he
exorziert from his non removable disks proper. The
undirected dream worlds of the Surrealismus, the anarchy of
the Punk, the rage of Speedmetal - James strengthens all
with digital means.

Which sounds on CD at home wild and through-slammed, live
grandiosen sense makes: In one and a half hours James
increases the brew-sent Rappel in stringenter dramaturgy. If
its Notebook concentrates bent in the rear hall corner over,
he continues to force the ekstatische Trance ever - up to
the final Breakbeat thunderstorm, which lets release the
fans themselves explode to clock counters and in the
armchair. Although its "Rephlex" pupils make Astrobotnia and
Bogdan Raczynski formally little differently - so clarified
and perfectly pointed if necessary still Cylob, the Opener
of the evening presents itself. "Braindance" calls James its
music. And the Hirne dances, which twitches bodies, the
earth trembles."

The Exorcist

Richard D. James aka Aphex Twin at the "Elektrobik
Abstrakt"-Festival (see ab.art.de)

Who has the best laptop? Richard D. James, of course, for
whom Apples aren't enough. Instead he connects a
nicely-formed designer's machine in Pathos Transport at the
"Elektrobik Abstrakt"-Festival.
His music, which the guru from Cornwall has been releasing
on his "Rephlex"-Label and also under the artist name Aphex
Twin is also nothing for mainstream consumers.
Like no other has the blonde (he's red-haired! - patrik)
giant with his chest-long hair pushed electronic sounds into
radical extremes. He regularly exorcized instrumental
sounds, rhythms, time signatures and melodies from his
harddisk. The pointless dream worlds of surrealism, the
anarchy of punk, the furiousness of speed metal - James
exponentiates all of that with digital media.

Stuff that sound wild and crazy at home make wonderful sense
live: In one-and-a-half hours James increases the booming
noise with stringent dramatization. Hidden away in the
furthest of corners of the hall, bending over his notebook,
he keeps forcing the ecstatic trance further and further -
up until the final breakbeat storm that makes the metronome
explode (metaphorically speaking - patrik) and even the fans
sitting on the sofas go mad. Even though his
"Rephlex"-pupils Astrobotnia and Bogdan Raczynski formally
don't do much different - Cylob is the one who presents with
such clarity and perfection, the opener of the evening. (not
true, Grant DJ-ed first, well maybe that doesn't count -
patrik). "Braindance" is what James calls his music. And the
brains dance, the bodies twich (or shrug - patrik), the
earth tremors.

I posted a link to this review at www.dancecube.de (a german
techno forum) and someone totally slayed the interview
saying typical süddeutsche! A load of old rubbish.

He's true, there are a few bits of crap in there, like
saying a Sony VAIO is more of a designer's machine that an
iBook or PowerBook G4. Idiot!
And blonde hair? NO WAY!
