Massive thanks again to Alberto from Japan for scanning this article in for me. Greatly appreciated APHEX TWIN Aphex Twin’s sixth album is currently “postponed indefinitely” as of early May. Yes, this man has blown us away again. We can only guess what the new album will be like from his latest single, “Windowlicker.” And Richard D. James is the kind of person who puts everything on defying expectations. The delicate, beautiful, mad, fragile, and twisted electronic music he has released so far. His tremendous performance at the 1997 Fuji Rock Festival using a giant bear and a toy house. The near-riot party he threw when he came to Japan at the end of 1998 with his Rephlex crew. Following “Come to Daddy” and “Window Licker,” these video clips mock everything. None of them reveal his true self. Aphex Twin, the last pop icon of this century, vehemently detests idolisation, yet has inadvertently fueled it once again. Could he be going to become a “hermit” without releasing any more work?…
