Many thanks to DADONCK for sending this one in, Cheers mate! (Interview originally in German) The hunt for the latest prime numbers.

It’s a form of expression, and

Alternative Press (May 1997)

APHEX TWIN [THIS DOES NOT COMPUTE] After a career fuelled by strange rumours and obstinate behaviour, Richard James – the contrary, sleep-deprived, tank-driving genius behind Aphex Twin – is finally ready to open up, or is he?

Aphex Twin, Mixmag (October 1996)

Getting away with it On his new single the Aphex Twin sings a song about a milkman. His new album is called ‘Richard D James’ but it’s not named after him. If his mum and dad died, he says, he’d wait a couple of weeks before taking the piss. And he’s arranged to meet us

Many thanks to Plunderphucked for sending me the scans for this one, Cheers! Translation by me with the aid of translation tools, so excuse any strange syntax errors! Some call him Aphex Twin, others simply call him Richard D. James! And does it border on overconfidence when he gives his album the same title as

Aphex Twin, Sonic Press (1996)

I’ve heard some wild stories about your living situation in London… Oh yeah, it’s true. I almost had to bail from that place. Apparently because you were too loud. That’s right. It’s a sorry tale. My windows have been smashed and my neighbours have hung denunciatory notes on the trees warning me that if I

Aphex Twin, NME (November 1996)

TEDDY OR NOT… Thanks to my brother for the scans, cheers Paul! Techno’s eccentric ginger prince APHEX TWIN likes to make noises that upset people. Incredible, the, that he’s sold tons of records and made a wad from a tyre ad. His ‘Richard D James Album’, should bring yet more acclaim to the knob-twiddling Cornishman.

Aphex Twin, Jockey Slut Magazine (October/November 1996)

CHOPPER ‘EM OUT! Is the Aphex Twin completely mad? Well he has a new album out named after his dead brother. His neighbours in London are waging a hate campaign against him because he’s so noisy. He finds supermarkets trippy and his record company suggested he do the interview in a helicopter. Richard Hector Jones

Aphex Twin,Q Magazine (November 2014)

Thanks to Reddit user Plunderphucked for sending me this interview and assisting me with any typos! Being Aphex Twin You may know Aphex Twin as Richard D James, the genius and agent provocateur of Generation Rave, as prone to DJing with sandpaper as he is to recording heart-bursting electronica. But what is James, married father-of-two,
