Aphex Twin, is it a joke?

What is everyone getting so excited about this guy for? I admit I can imagine myself kinda floating around and bouncing off walls during Digeridoo, Isoprophlex is kinda cool too. But the caustic window record isn't that special. It's waaay too grating for my liking. Maybe I could get into the last track on the "crumple" side, but that's about it. Too industrial/hardcore/gritty- grindymachinelike for my liking. At least I got some cool fizzy bubblegum though. And the little warning label is kinda cute too. I still think I paid way to much for them, ~$10 each, and I guess I just took a chance. Well now I know. So what else by Aphex Twin is "lighter?" Universal indicator red I can get, also the blue labeled one (I forget the name.) Also does anyone know where in San Diego to get these things for sane prices? (I bought at Off the Record in Hillcrest.) I have to admit this guy is definitely experimental. I don't have to admit I like it though. :-) tfinn@crash.cts.com (Preferred) The Finn/ VLA
