Like most casual Aphex flames, your post is far too asinine to
deserve a response, but I've reached the limit of my tolerance. Do you
really believe he's such an obvious choice for "any multi-national
corporation?" I'd like to hear why. I'm expecting a stellar example of
the kind of paranoid, inverted reasoning that the parasitic pop culture
intelligentsia depend on to rationalize their tiresome cycles of hype and
slander. You won't disappoint me, will you? It might be entertaining if
you could also supply the equally convoluted argument you would use to
convince us of his genius if here were still laboring anonymously on
obscure labels.
Is there any way to create something like a kill file in Pine to
filter out all the messages by people dumb enough to think that they'll
impress anyone by slagging Richard? I often wonder why people are so
eager to trumpet their magnificent idiocies in the most public forum
they can find; such opinions are clearly the domain of constipated
intellects.
Richard's music is among the most expressive electronic music ever
created. Those eager to dismiss him as a flaky hack would do well to
accept the fact that there is some music they simply don't have the
equipment to understand.
p.s. IDM is getting pretty toasty these days, no?
