>I think the guy gets it right... Aphex just is taking so long between releases, and the music
is not as mind-blowing as it was. I mean, the guy is obviously a genius when it comes to
music. Is it that he doesn't have it like he did, or does he just not want to do it, or what? I
don't expect every track to be an "On" or "4", but the quality just hasn't been there.
quoted 2 lines I guess if you're going to be prolific, be more prolific and we'll brook a lapse

>I guess if you're going to be prolific, be more prolific and we'll brook a lapse in quality for
the occasionl quality tracks you find sprinkled in the Analords. Otherwise, if you're going to
take 2 or 3 years, I want another album on the level of _I Care_, _Richard D_, or the Select
Ambient Works.
i agree, but my point was that i think people have at least been interested in the analord
series, especially here.
i suppose i'm also one of the exceptions in that i found 'drukqs' to be pretty brilliant. not
great all the way through, but one of those great "sprawling mess" double albums (like
prince's "sign o' the times") that you kind of wish had been pared down to one CD, and yet
the mess seems to be part of the point.
but yes, i think james should get over himself, stop this "i will never release my best work"
attitude and put out another complete classic.
