Dallas Observer, (20th February 1997)

Fish and microchips “Classical music for the next millennium,” said The New York Times upon the release of Aphex Twin’s Selected Ambient Works Volume II in the spring of 1994–a hefty label for a young lad from Cornwall who was only 22 at the time.

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.
