Thing with Aphex is, he's cursed for being ahead of his time. No?

Actually most of his stuff has aged incredibly badly. Drukqs is underrated, though.

Go figure, Drukqs is my least favorite.

I was referring to the messages he delivers.

Was he a nice man? I've read reviews saying it was an ok set, but everyone knows he has the ability to piss around or pull something amazing off. Maybe when new material surfaces under AFX or some other name, we'll see a bit more of a serious set.

Does V Snares still just play with CD Decks? Thought he'd evolve his stuff in to something on to a laptop etc. Still, he can move a crowd.

He was very agreeable, and pleasant yeah. KoS didnt want to speak to him... too shy :) He didnt seem too interested in talking to me, but i got him into a little conversation and joked that we were only staying at the hotel to stalk people like him... I said that the last time I saw him was at Glasto 2002... very drunk. Said i'd like to be a bit more sober tonight to which he replied "i'd get very very drunk if i was you :D"

In a way since music like that doesn't get made much anymore but it doesn't take away from the listening experience IMO. Kind of like how "Crimson King" is obviously around 40 years old but is still unlike anything else. Groups like the Prodigy, Chemical Bros, Basement Jaxx, Fatboy Slim...now that stuff has not aged well!!

I with you as far as Aphex Twin. Still love the earlier Chem. Bros.

Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2, when heard on a good sound system, can move one's body and spirit on the molecular level. I'm not making this shit up.

STRP Venetian Snares set (soundboard):

AWESOME


Also, I retract my statement regarding those old Aphex Twin albums. I was just a bit disappointed by his set, that is all.
