well manish, if you read my posts about his On video you know I feel the
exact same way. This is not say that I think he sucks because I don't, but
I _definitely_ think he is extremely overrated. Brings to mind the story
about the famous artist (forgot his name) who anonymously donated a toilet
as an entry to an art show. The critics laughed at it and said it was a
piece of crap (as it indeed was), but once the artist revealed himself as
the creator, all the critics were tripping over their own feet to praise
it.
someone else started a similar "aphex twin/emperor's new clothes syndrome"
on alt.rave and since then many other people have admitted to feeling the
same way. I know there are more of you closet aphex twin anti-fans so come
out and together we'll fight aphex twin conformism <== (the underlying
mentality with idm fans that you must think the aphex twin is a god to be a
true techno fan). down with the sheep mentality!!!
sorry for the melodramatic tone of this post...lack of sleep has been
wrecking havok with my sense of reality.
