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.
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.
