seems whoever it was on here talking about the site and how
Warp/Rephlex/RDJ/whoever felt about it was right..

the following mail was received by the owners of the Aphex Twin MP3 archi=
ve
this morning..

As I was told by Ylph though, the archive pretty much just contains out o=
f
print stuff, and doesn't have every track he's ever made. but I think it
does have a lot of tracks. I have no use for mp3's myself.. I'd rather bu=
y
the records, I have everything I don't have on cd/vinyl on tape..

(no offense intended to xxxx@xxxx or Warp Records.. After all, posting th=
is
to IDM only helps your cause)
