OK, onto Aphex.

This is one of those ones that shows you what he’s capable of when he’s not just trying to be a twat, which he usually is.

This track has been sifting through my nerves and heart valves since 1995. Apart from being a delicious sonic object it is also a beautiful piece of music: something that zeroes in on the soul, articulates shards and shades of feeling you were only otherwise dimly aware of. The tone is hard to define: it is melancholy, triumphant, a love song, an elegy; you can be in a different place at a different time and this piece of music somehow finds a way to reflect or transform the moment. He’s a riddle, because maybe he just has a good ear, but, surely, to make music like this you must have some rarefied poetic sensibility, some depth of feeling and width of vision. Perhaps he’s just English: if he has it there somewhere, it has to be deflected, downgraded, treated like an accident, something meaningless. Don’t show your emotions, lads!

aphex is a tricky one cos he is obviously being a show off a lot of the time or otherwise he's making very boring, pointless remakes of an 80's techno vibe like that last load of yawns he put on soundcloud but when he feels like it he can do this or other lovely tunes

I'm about to hit Gwen and have a fag.

This is my favorite example of that Dissensus genre: Padraigcore. I love all the dubby echoes and smears on an otherwise propulsive New York disco track, like skyscraper lights smeared across a smoggy sunset.

There's some more amazing Aphex in 7 hours time which rams home this point.
