MAybe I should read a book about the subject instead of asking the list,
but since you're talking about it and I"m curious: How did aphex twin
become famous anyway? I realize that come to daddy got quite a bit of play here
in the states and he's received loads of fame in europe but I have no idea how
he got started. Any of you know?

I think that the idea that the quality of an action (music making,
acting,
writing, etc.) is what makes people famous is a little naive. In
fact, I'd
tend to think that what makes most people famous is a combination of luck,
and
being in the right place in the right time (which really just boils down
to
luck). That's not to say that there's no overlap between the
famous and the
good (at whatever they do), or between the unfamous and the bad.
Of course, I have never done anything that could conceivably make me famous
and
never tried to publish or distribute any music. I haven't really
been
following the argument that this statement came out of, so maybe I am
missing
some context, too.
