Has anyone ever seen Aphex Twin live?
What do you think of this amazing artist? For me he is "5000 steps" ahead from any producer in the world.... i think he is the Mozart of the 21st century!!
what do you think?
(kaz, don't tell me that this topic has nothin to do with eletronic too..)

I've seen Aphex Twin live, and I've got to say that it was one of the most insane things ever. Just brilliant though. While Mozart he isn't, he may just be the man with the most openminded musical works ever.

I like more of his ambient stuff, I never saw him live or anything. I got his Richard D. James album and I believe is highly overated. you guys are going to bash me for saying that arent you?

His ambient works -cd's are absolutely his best. No talk about it. The other cd's are of course very good to.
I have heard him live, via some recorded mp3:s I got from the web... he isn't bad live. That's for sure... I will get a ticket if he ever comes here... |

Well,I'm an Aphex Twin fan for years now and I must tell you I just love this guy works.
The first thing I heard of him was Ventolin E.P. and when I heard it I just got caught by the weirdness and by the brilliance of his work.
I got several singles,E.P.'s and albuns from Aphex Twin and each one of them is different in it's own way,but they all have a touch of someone who is really far ahead when it comes to music conception.
Trully an amazing artist!

Aphex Twin (born Richard D. James, 1971) is a UK-based electronic music artist working notably in the techno, acid and ambient music styles.
Born to Welsh parents in 1971, James spent his childhood in Cornwall. He experimented with electronics from an early age, winning a competition to make a Sinclair ZX Spectrum play a tune by setting the connected television's volume to full and alternating the colours on the screen, producing different pitches of noise.
He became a DJ and musician on the local rave scene, taking on the monicker "Aphex Twin" from the name of a manufacturer of signal processing equipment combined with the word "twin"; this was because the original Richard James, his brother, died at a young age before Richard D. James' birth. James uses his middle initial (which stands for David) to distinguish himself from his late brother.
He was a founding partner in the Rephlex Records label in 1991 and released his first records on this label, as well as Mighty Force and R&S Records of Belgium. James soon moved to London and released a slew of albums and EPs on the Warp Records label. He was also responsible for a number of disturbing music videos in collaboration with director Chris Cunningham.
Aphex Twin is credited with pushing forward the genres of techno, ambient, IDM, acid, drum and bass (specifically drill n bass) and has claimed to have made a vast amount of music which he hasn't released. Recent experimentation on his album drukqs included use of a prepared piano (specifically a Yamaha Disklavier) in the style of composer John Cage.
He owns a 1950s armoured scout car (a Daimler Ferret Mark 3), a submarine, and lives in a converted bank. He is also a notable amateur photographer, having done his own artwork direction for many of his albums. Aphex Twin continues to create records at the boundaries of the accepted norms of music.
