Whatever, man. I got into Aphex Twin from the "Richard D. James" album and
as I scoured through the back catalog in search of similar sounds, I was
sorely disappointed. Analogue Bubblebath? S.A.W.? Cool but I could care less
if I ever heard 'em again.

Who will be the next smarty techno godfather to be torn down by the IDM
mafia? Paradinas, Jeffs, or Jenkinson? The gunsights are all on you so you
better make records that sound exactly the same as your first demos or you
are done for.

There is a :-) buried somewhere in this message.
