[QUOTE]Richard David James (born 18 August 1971), best known under the pseudonym Aphex Twin, is an electronic musician described by The Guardian newspaper as "the most inventive and influential figure in contemporary electronic music."[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]James said he composed ambient techno music at the age of 13; he has "over 100 hours" of unreleased music; he made his own software to compose with, including algorithmic processes that automatically generate beats and melodies; he experiences synaesthesia; and he is able to incorporate lucid dreaming into the process of making music.[/QUOTE]
I can't describe him very well other than that, so music.

The Monkey Drumming one is Mt Saint Michel+Saint Michaels Mount by the way.
Richard D. James is a god manifested into human form.
Holy fuck.
From the Wikipedia article on Windowlicker:
[QUOTE]Viewing a spectrogram of the second track, with the frequency axis in a logarithmic scale, reveals hidden images of James' face that were apparently synthesized as sound by Aphex Twin for the express purpose of being discovered in this manner.[/QUOTE]

I'm listening to both Selected Ambient Works albums right now. They help me sleep.
He's a good guy and drives in a tank and makes music in a bank
I absolutely love Selected Ambient Works II and some of the stuff on Drukqs

It's like when everyone was going batshit over the Portal 2 ARG only actually real
Aphex Twin is my favorite artist right now. Goddamn fantastic electronic music.
I've heard bits and pieces of albums but never had the cash to actually get any of em, heard halibut acid, rubber johnny, windowlicker, donkey rhubarb and a few others.
Fucking awesome :rock:
Aphex Twin is fucking awesome. I really need to get some of his albums sometime. Definitely my favourite electronic artist.

[editline]04:49PM[/editline]
the stuff on the analords is my favourite
everything richard d. james has ever made is good
even some of the stuff he didn't think was good enough to release, like Analogue Bubblebath 5

My favourite Aphex track.

I'm in love with Analord 2 atm.
EDIT: And Analord 10.
I really like him, but I feel he's a bit overrated, these days at least.
[QUOTE=Blockjuice II;25223808]I'm in love with Analord 2 atm.[/QUOTE]
It's definitely the best Analord according to its track:quality ratio.
