Aphex Twin, The guardian (5th October 2001)

Tank Boy Richard James, aka Aphex Twin, is the most inventive and influential figure in contemporary electronic music. He is also the most unpredictable. Which probably explains why he is so late for the interview. With a new 30-track album called Drukqs about to hit the shops, James, hardly your typical self promoting pop star,

Aphex Twin,Q Magazine (November 2014)

Thanks to Reddit user Plunderphucked for sending me this interview and assisting me with any typos!
