Advantages: Scarily inventive..!!

Disadvantages: Can sometimes be slightly too intense..!!

After an almost ten year wait i finnally had the pleasure of seeing "aphex twin"live at the oxygen music festival here in ireland last summer,few artists in any genre of music could boast to having achieved what this artist has over an almost twenty year career,to have such longevity and still maintain your integrity is no mean feat,to break down barriers and take electronic music to demented levels of creative abandon,well thats the measure of a true genius,albiet a crafty one with a cheeky wit and flair for ingenuity,just look at any number of internet forums and you will see the almost godlike respect he is given in not only electronic circles but almost all walks of audio refreshment.
To listen to all of "aphex twins"back catalouge is to take a journey both forwards and backwards and inwords,its simply timeless,alien,dark,scary,comforting,confusing,fas t,slow,funny,excilarating all rolled into one,how many artists can do that,not many i think.
His music goes to both extremes via sum mindblowing audio trickery but as a starting point i would highly recommend the album"i care because you do"as this gives a great example of his ambients brilliance and the more heavily percussion orientated later work,also check out his unreal "come to daddy"mini horror video that just might be the scariest music promo ever shown on late night mtv,not for the faint hearted.
Overall this is a stunning artist that has noones footsteps to follow in and might just be that last true inovator of his generation..!!

Summary: A true innovator..!!
