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?
