	DANX GROD!	I just listened to those two tracks (I have the album, but it has been a while since I heard it). Richard is very good, isn't he? I got to see him live once, and he performed while laying down on a couch/bed. Great show. As for electronic speed emotion, how about squarepusher? (That is a guess, since I don't know actually what electronic speed emotion is.) Cheers! Posted by DANX GROD! on Friday, October 05, 2007 at 01:45 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	He's got a gut full of talent... I've seen him a few times and he's never been arsed - one time he lay on the floor and handed the records to Mike Dred to play for him... There's this bit in Cock 10 about 5.30m in which is an illustration of frustration emotion. It gets more and more frantic and then levels off and drops out - if you could take a picture of what it's like when you're trying too hard that would be it... p) Posted by : THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI : on Friday, October 05, 2007 at 01:50 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	Clinker	Hard Normal Daddy is fucking brilliant. I always used to try and talk Jazz people into drum and bass...then that came out and its a perfect Jazz/D&B crossover. When I saw Aphex Twin, he played from inside a Wendy House (Kids plastic play house thing) and had 2 people dressed as Teddy Bears having a pillow fight on stage. Occasionally He popped his head up grinning with a big fat cigar between his teeth. It was mental and what with the druqs consumed, VERY disorientating. It was around the time of the "Richard D James" album (probably my favourite). My other experience was where he was supposed to come and play a soundtrack to a classic silent film live. Music he'd written especially for it. Everyone was sitting waiting, then the promoter came on stage saying he'd just had a call from Richard who said "he hadn't done it". I'm sure that is exactly what he said. Then the promoter said "Basically he's a cunt!". Instead they played Aphex videos, mostly the ambient stuff, though I didn't watch much of it. My mates stayed for the lot, but I just kept going outside and smoking spliffs instead. Posted by Clinker on Friday, October 05, 2007 at 11:27 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	: THE FUTUREPROOF MUSIC BLOG BY PIOUS GIOVANNI :	Yes, I get the impression the twin is a bit of a cunt. I can well imagine he said just that as well - the promoter must have wanted to punch him - he probably still does...!! Every time I've seen the Twin play he's been not that arsed with it... At the third Deadbeat weekender he wanted to play for the entire weekend nonstop or nothing. The promoters said no... Thing is the Twin's in that wonderful position where he can do exactly what he wants, not give a fuck and still be loved...

	Clinker	Yea he's like the Chris Morris of the dance culture I suppose. I also know someone who knew him in his Cornwall days, who says he was a right wanker, but I suppose people would say that if you choose to drive around town in a tank. Mental. I don't care as long as the musics good. There's loads of wankers who make good music. Posted by Clinker on Friday, October 05, 2007 at 15:18 [Remove] [Reply to this]

Yeah... I think to be a visionary of anykind, you have to be completely selfish and back yourself regardless of who you offend - if you're anything else you compromise... These tracks for me are simply outstanding pieces of work. He's outrageously talented..
