*Ahem*
For the record, I never called Aphex a "techno band" in that (original) 1992
article. I believe Lander (gamera_@yahoo.com) was possibly referring to this:
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=Aphex+Twin+techno+band&hl=en&rnum=9&selm=30F8DE41.4D26%40midplains.net

As for "bowing down", you just read the first-ever live review of Aphex
on Usenet, courtesy of yours truly. Kneel, knave! :)
9 1/2 years on and *still* no one can touch RDJ live with a 10 foot pole ...
(and rec.music.industrial people are still without clue)
Thanks to Lisa, Google and my fellow Greg for dragging me out of the woodwork.
