Aphex twin - seriously, why the fuss?
To me, most of his stuff is just really complicated and fast. It doesn't really have a beat or anything. I'm sure it's REALLY hard to come up with stuff like that, but just cause something is hard doesn't mean it's worthwhile. The only tune of is I remotely like is this one.

1. You've broken the code.
He's only interested in "baffle them with bullshit", not music. Like Gallagher, it's a psychology experiment that has taken on a life of its own.

:rofl:

2. That would explain most of his music vids.

I don't listen to much Aphex Twin though, nope I sure don't.

6. I dunno, but the video for Come To Daddy is badass.
I kinda think he'd be better at making scores for weird art films, than making actual albums.
