Aphex Twin小组


	创建于2006-07-20 组长：Cavia The single most genius electronic music creator/producer ever. Ever. I've never heard of Ventian Snares, but you can rest assured that Aphex Twin is better. While his real name is Richard D. James, he's never created music under that name. Instead, he's used no less than twelve pseudonyms, including Aphex Twin, AFX, Polygon Window, Caustic Window, GAK, Powerpill, Mike & Rich (Mike something-or-other aka Mu-Ziq and Richard D. James), Q-Chastic, Bradley Strider, Universal Indicator (which is rumoured to be several early acid house musicians), and The Dice Man (which he recorded one track entitled "Polygon Window" under before finding out the name was already in use). He has collaborated with director Chris Cunningham for two videos, the uber-disturbing "Come to Daddy (Pappy Mix}" and the absolutely hilarious parody video "Windowlicker". Richard has remixed artists ranging from Autechre to Nine Inch Nails to Beck to Meat Beat Manifesto and everything else you can imagine. Various rumors about him include the following: -he owns a street-legal tank -he owns a closed down bank -he recorded an album, "Come To Daddy EP" in the vault of said bank -he has a rare disorder that randomly affects him and allows him to see hallucinatory visions as though he were on acid or some other mind-altering drug -he recorded his album "Selected Ambient Works: Volume II" while he was having an "attack" of the aforementioned disease, and could "see the music" which is why the tracks are sometimes listed as various shades of brown, green, and/or blue OR -he recorded his album "Selected Ambient Works: Volume II" while having lucent dreams -when he used to DJ, instead of playing records on the turntable, he used to spin sheets of sandpaper 上世纪八十年代中后期，年仅十四岁的Richard D. James已经开始蹲在合成器旁制造迷幻氛围的试验音乐了，那个时代高科技艺人还处在舆论抨击的夹缝中，验证电子音乐的市场前景的确是件费力不讨好的苦差事。当年他以Aphex Twin的名字录制的单曲“Didgeridoo”成为氛围高科技摇滚的第一块试金石，身为DJ的他或许没有意识到自己正在尝试一种全新的摇滚风格，当时这种新音乐只是为了能够给舞厅带来更好的效益。九十年代初，Richard D. James和The orb 、Black Dog, Autechre, B12 and Fuse，等乐队推出的大批电子乐专辑使电子音乐的商业潜力开始爆发，当年他的《Selected Ambient Works 85-92》的氛围高科技音乐，被视为The orb后的又一次风格界定，高科技的春天从此来临。Richard D. James的简约主义的试验作品中体现出的攻击性和噪音成份为后来的电子摇滚指明了方向。此后，他的音乐走向开始复杂起来，电子疯克、硬核化的根源迷幻流行音乐、工业drum n'bass等风格的专辑确立了他高科技音乐急先锋和探险者的地位。Aphex Twin(后来多以Richard D. James的名义)推出了众多的专辑、单曲，风格差异非常得大，Aphex Twin的成长史几乎涵盖了电子乐的所有发展阶段，没有他的高科技音乐是不可想象的。
