....richard is done.....
 

RECYCLE from roca,ne on 2001-06-09 00:05 [#00008843]



im tired of waiting for new tunes by this wonderful
man......yeah sure there are tons of other music but, I WANT
MY APHEX TWIN...

if richard died would reflex (the lable) and warp let us
know, or would they put somebody else in richards body and
carry on as if nothing happened?

I think it'd be cool if someone took over from him. it'd be
so fucked up, like most of richard's stuff. i can't say i'd
like it though.

but yeah. i'm really craving new aphex stuff, although
there's too much music out there i want already.

EVERYBODY, PLEASE STOP MAKING WONDERFUL MUSIC, DAMMIT!!

In 1996, Aphex claimed he was working on algorithms that
taught his computer to write its' own music. He also said he
was working on that in 1999. He said that he was going to
let his deal with Warp run out and release his best stuff on
Rephlex. He also said in 1999 that his new album would be
out in FIVE years. (2004) I got this info from the
Alternative Press article he was in before Windowlicker was
released. I think you can see it on this site.

I read in NME that Rich had given up on the generated
computer music thing. He said it was too difficult.

yeah programming anything significant while stoned doesn't
quite work

I just thought of something. He was going to take a break
from music to make a film with Chris Cunningham. But that
failed didn't it? So what's he gonna do? Release an album,
or work on another film?

Ever get the urge to read more posts that don't include the
idiotic contributions of sir internet-man-Reflex? Yes I do,
I think about that life everytime I breath... It wont be
long now, Reflex will spoil the cow butter.

Shutup.

One thing that is kindof dissapointing is that I don't at
all doubt the "jokes" that Rich makes about it not being his
music or whatever. He has admitted to once being asked to
remix something and just gave them an old copy of a song he
wrote and said it was the remix. He has said several times
half-jokingly that he releases stuff under other people's
names, that he has put his friends tracks under his own name
in his albums, and that he doesn't really give a shit about
his fans or what they think.

The music varies so much, maybe he's non-existant and its a
compilation of several rephlex artists, he just acts as the
image or figurehead. I'm sure you will jump to say no to
this, but do you really have evidence to say its not? I'm
not saying I really think that, but its not impossible, or
even that unlikely.

They would replace his body with someone else, another AFX.
I figure in reality - he would just be dead, but some of us
would hope his tunes would go on... if it was him or not.
