sorry can't mail direct for some reason. . .t.p. here's one man's opinion on aphex for you (S.Quigg). . .first up you mention 2 words that apply hard here . .numero uno. . QUALITY (which sustains itself and when other tracks fall to the wayside in a month or less an aphex track has unprecedented shelf life). . .dos. . .DUB (not your junior boys dub i'm talking black uhuru and prince far i dub). . .add to this an appreciation for BASS equivalent to what's going down in Miami hip hop. . .and the ability to come out HARD as granite and LIGHT as rain (sometimes in the same track. . .the kid puts crazy tops in all his tracks). . .ORIGINALITY he's got equiptment that's been tweaked by SCIENCE that the green men left behind at lands end after they set up stonehenge . . .add to this a total (and beautiful) lack of respect for what the *mainstream* is doing with all it's cracked *creative* nonsenseability and you've got some of his work covered. . .ha! |Q go to the show and when it's over dont forget to pick your jaw up off the floor suggested point of entry. . .Selected Ambient Works big respect to those who inspire and support TeeP Terra Posse/Family Tree
