Err.... first of all, this is Warp's money (Aphex Twin's material is
property of Warp, and they do all the goo for him). I admire him (or is
it Grant?) busting his/their ass(es) over Rephlex. Good for them....
there's some fabulous material put out on the label (need I remind you
once again of last summer's fabulous new vulva album). But frankly, I've
pretty much seen every single thing Aphex puts out as a pisstake. Even
his very first album, Selected Ambient Works 85-92 was a pisstake....
(1985? Little Richard was a sly 11-12 years old?) What I mean to say is,
I've always found Richard's work to have a real gritty childish sense of
humour about it. From those hair-raising stonky acid tracks to his first
squiggles of blurpy jungle.... I've always felt he was mocking the genre
somehow. Like taking drum'n bass, and beating it with a big stick. He's
got complete control over his releases, and he can put out whatever he
wants. He wanted to do a silly prodigy-esqe (for lack of a better
description) track, so he did. No one is denying that he's talented...
and puts a lot of work into his tracks. But it's crazy to deny Richard
of being playful with the music industry's latest genres.
