Some crak smokin wanker journalist wrote: ------------------------------ England's quirky Aphex Twin was a bit of a mystery, as usual: head twin Richard James and his partner came out in pink and blue bunny suits (huh?), but their seemless acid house and techno tracks took the late-night set into hazy yet effective sonic territories. ------------------------------ This person's smokin too much crak. They were *bear* suits, not rabbits. One was green, one was orange. Neither bear was RDJ - he was sitting in the middle of the stage. "Acid House?" This guy's definately smokin crak. And worst of all: "Quirky!" That's a sycophantic music journalistic code word for "It was too weird... I didn't understand it... In fact, I hated it but I'm afraid to publicly admit it because I'm a wanker." -CF
