Then what are your demands? You seemed rather upset that they played the same
show for you at a second stop.

Nobody is arguing with that.

His _diversity_ has nothing to do with the fact that the majority of Rich's
tracks is a lot of noodling around. Not that I don't like noodling around, he
does it well, but that is where there isn't a THEME. Right now, I can't put
any of Analogue Bubblebath 3 in my head except for Track 8. The rest is just
a blur. Whether or not Rich chooses to dump one sequence or another is up to
him, but it is a lot easier for him to place something entirely
unrecognizeable in front of an audience and succeed. Short of noisy analogs,
Rich doesn't have an identity. Place three new tracks in front of my ears and
I'll be able to tell you who is Orb, who is Orbital, and who is Orbit. But
whether or not Rich is playing .215061 or Quixote, I'm afraid I'm at a loss.

This is your opinion. These fans who diefy Rich make me sick. I'm just
getting over listening to Strange Cargo III for the umpteenth time this week
and I can hardly call it mediocre. Before that, I listened to the Sandoz
and Effective Force albums and both are above anything I've heard out of Rich
since AB3. J9! J9! God, it isn't that great of a masterpiece. It isn't that
great period. I've seen just as many people who weren't familiar with Aphex
post reviews of the "See The Light" tour and state that he sucked. It seems
only his fans are able to "recognize" his brilliance.

Aphex fans should open their ears to something besides Aphex. You're almost
as bad as top-40 fans who can't understand anything besides what they are fed
on the radio. Anything from Rephlex is good enough for you, even when it
isn't Rich. Did "Indicator Red" become trash after you found out that it was
Kosmik Kommando?
