Intro Muzik Magazine (November 1996)

Many thanks to DADONCK for sending this one in, Cheers mate! (Interview originally in German) The hunt for the latest prime numbers. It is known that culturally recycled pop music from developed countries is gaining momentum, seasoned with several innovations. Pop music, by nature, has the greatest (apparent) dynamism. It’s a form of expression, and

The Further Adventures of the Aphex Twin Text: John O’Connell You think his records sound like cutlery being chucked down the stairs? One of them is. Then there’s the one where he sampled his friend’s diarrhoea…Welcome back, the genius that is the Aphex Twin. It used to be pink, Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre. Famously

Thanks to my brother Paul for the scans, cheers Paul. Also would like to say Grant is a great chap and been very generous with his time, however he views this part of his life as something he would rather leave in the past and has many many frequent requests from people to talk about

Aphex Twin, Request Line (January, 1997)

LC: This interview was extraordinarily difficult to track down, well for me anyway! I assume its because it was originally hosted as a RealAudio streaming media file, a long obsolete file format used widely a few decades ago. These files are usually lost to the mists of time as the servers hosting the aforementioned files

THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON REPHLEX Ten years of Aphex Twin’s Rephlex Records has reshaped the techno experience. STORY: RASPBERRY JONESPHOTOS: MANUEL (Manuel Sepulveda) Where do people listen to the techno that Rephlex releases? Ask label co-founder Grant Wilson-Claridge and his stuttered laughter gives way to an acknowledgement of the catalog’s nerdy classification. “In the

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

Contemporary Reviews: Drukqs (under construction)

Vibe, (December 2006) APHEX TWINDRUKQSWarp Though his palette of choice includes synthesisers and computer software, long-time electronic producer Aphex Twin, aka Richard D. James, isn’t your typical techno-futurist. On his latest album, a double CD with a funny name, the reclusive Englishman generates soul music using seemingly soulless machines. On tracks like “Vordhosbn,” fragmented audio

SonicNet Chat Transcript (17th of February 1997)

In 1997 Richard took part in a chat room Q&A which was a ubiquitous form of communication at that time and something of a novelty still. Although rather short the questions touch upon several interesting subject matters, such as the (at the time) unreleased Caustic Window album. Richards experience of being hospitalised in Moscow with

AFX – 2 Remixes by AFX (Easter egg)

The release of ‘2 Remixes by AFX’ contains quite a cool little Easter egg. The second track on Side B of the vinyl, or the third track of the CD consists totally of none descript high frequency sounds. Although this might be mistaken for a radically avant-garde piece of music or a broken modem, it

Many thanks to knallfurz for scanning and sending me this interview, cheers! A warm summer’s day in London and the Aphex Twin is relaxing in the city’s most famous open space, Hyde Park. He lies down on the grass, slips on the big silver headphones he takes everywhere and points his parabolic microphones, a device

Rebellious Jukebox Interview (Melody Maker)

A funny/tongue in cheek article from Richard where he details his favourite (imaginary?) Records. There are suggestions that some of these records could be real as they have been mentioned at other times i.e. The Rave colonel. Transcription in progress.. Aphex Twin twiddles his bits to produce the hits that make him cry. 1. Lionel
