Well, first of all, Capitol K isn't a "he", it's a "they" - there are two
guys in the group.
As for comparing them to Aphex Twin - I would guess that the comparison
was probably made by someone who isn't very familiar with IDMish stuff in
general and thinks that *any* "weird" electronic stuff sounds like RDJ,
'cause personally, I don't hear it. Their stuff is much more - uh, I dunno
- "organic", or something. There are some tracks with guitar, a bit of
vocals, that sort of thing. It's a very good album that's different from
most everything else out there while still sounding like IDM. I recommend
it.
