I read enough interviews on him from 91-94. 
 
I just don't care to learn anymore about him. It's kind of sad if
people STILL try and learn all there is to know about him. Who the
fuck cares anymore?

I normally would not respond to a Aphex thread because for the most
part I really am not that interested in talking about him. I just
happened to in this case because I am slightly interested in checking
out the Windowlicker video because i like what Chris Cunningham did
for Come to Daddy and Autechre's video.

But I totally agreed with what you were saying so i did post.

I rather talk about people like Optical than Aphex Twin. At least he
is still pushing boundaries versus silliness
