it's very simple, really. aphex is about the safest choice a commercial
company can take while pretending that it's actually a huge risk-taking
maneuever.
"we need to spice up our ads with something that The Kids can really relate to!"
"well, how about this techno stuff i've heard about? supposed to be really
underground and happening!"
"i love it! who's hot right now?"
"oh this aphex twin fella's on the cover of option..."
"draw up the contract!"

oh, this is my second favorite: if you don't like it, you don't understand
it. reminds me of an episode of The Young Ones where rik is trying to send
a telegram and he's yelling at some old guy that "the only reason you don't
understand our music is because you don't like it!!"
