More Info on New Aphex Twin LP, Kind Of
Why Drukqs?
it up to evryone to make their own interpretation.
So rumours of your retirement were greatly exaggerated? What made you
change your mind?
the old mind was getting really slow and dull so I thought Id get a new one.
What have you been doing since Windowlicker was released?
playing around with human embryos that myself and my girlfriend
made, before its illegal.
Where/when was the album recorded?
All over the place travelling,in some bank vaults and in the bath.
Is all the material new?
its the newest music available. actually its a compilation of all the fake
aphex tracks found on the world.wide.wank,I didnt write any of them.
Will there be any singles?
Yes tomorrow, limited to 1 copy on my hard disk, my friend bought it on ebay
which I think is on the internet.
The tracks have very bizarre titles, what do they mean?
kwrejgwekrjhwegkwegrkwerjbg
Have you worked with anyone else on this album?
Yeah, at the beginning of 1997 I adopted 3 goats on my farm in scotland and
taught them how to write music, I upgraded one of the goats at the end of '98
with a hoof mod and its fucking serious man/woman.
Are there going to be any more collaborations with yourself and Chris
Cunningham?
Well I think chris is too skinny at the moment and I cant bear working with
skeletons so, he has to put on a considerable amount of weight on first.
Where did you get the idea for the cover?
while i was djing at the next rephlex party at 93ft east club end of august
2001.
Have you been listening to lots of classical music? Is this a sign that
you're mellowing in your old age?
I have actually gone deaf from djing and so I cant listen to any music at
all, im totally gutted, have learnt how to lip read and I can still mix
records by smelling the grooves.
What is your dru(g)kq of choice?
what does dru(g)kq mean, I dont understand the question, sorry.
Are you planning any live shows? What surprises have you got instore?
Well Im playing on the national lottery in December as they offered me the
rollover if nobody won it that week, seriously!
Napster, do you have an opinion on them.
Well I should do, I actually wrote the code for the precursor to napster and
that bloke knicked it off me, im not bitter though, ive managed to download
my entire catalogue off it when it worked, saved myself £'s
Is it true that you've written music for adverts under loads of different
pseudonyms, can u give?
yes and other releases, stockhausen, mozart, xenakis, squarepusher, painjerk,
parmigiani to name a few.
"We'd only ban someone for being boring"...What is the most boring record
ever made, in your opinion?
drukqs by eric satie.
What is the relationship between Warp and Rephlex?
you dont wanna know man its fucking bad.
It is widely known that Radiohead's Kid A was widely influenced by your
music, in particular 'Come As you Are'...What do you think of their new stuff
and other contemporaries?
Well they widely agreed to pay me 70% of the widely royalties so, Im not
complaining.
In a recent interview, Grant [from Rephlex] pointed out that there are 5
missing records in the Rephlex catalogue... mostly yours... will you ever
release them?
Yes, next week, whos Grant?
Do you remember life before the internet?
I havent actually gone online yet, is it any good? who are you anyway?
What is your favourite gadget?
Oh it would have to be this endoscope I got from LOOT a couple of years ago,
it had, had a fair bit of use mind you but its a one off model which can go
inside your brain via your nostrils and tickle different regions of your body
automatically, its got a USB connection and came bundled with some MAC
software, its got a neuro reciever on one bit which can directly pick up
various thoughts and signals that happen to be flying around whatever region
you happen to be poking, it's so cool man.
What criterion do you have for releasing someone's records?
Well its usually based on sexual favours'n'stuff best not to go there.
You were once quoted as saying you weren't recording any new material cos
you were 'sick of being ripped off'...who have you ripped off?
Ive never got sick of being sucked off, dont know what your on about, whats
your name, youre weird?
