I guess I'm a fucking fool, then... 'cause as much as I really like Aphex's
work... there are boatloads of others who have received far less attention -
and did work a lot earlier...
Investigate the likes of Arthur Brown, Delia Derbyshire, Neu, early Portion
Control, Wire... and follow that up with a thorough investigation of the
careers of folks like Adi Newton (Clock DVA, TAGC), Richard H. Kirk (from
Cabaret Voltaire, solo work, collaborations with Hope - to his pioneering
techno work in Xon, Sweet Exorcist), Marc Acardipane (two of the cuts on
Aphex Twin's Classics are RDJ remixes of his seminal track We Have
Arrived)... even the guys in 808 State (read a piece just yesterday where
RDJ mentions the impact of hearing Newbuild on John Peel's show).
Not to mention Daniel Miller's enormous sphere of influence.
