aphex twin interview moscow 1994 part 2

[@addy121]

This is fucking torture. But it's the perfect Aphex interview

[@ADIoPrucnal]

The interview got so deep, that camera stopped recording.

[@sawatari]

its like meeting god and ask hime about his hear cut

[@michaelgranaldi8109]

But they didnt know then that Richard was God

[@brownswarm]

@@michaelgranaldi8109 yeah it's more like meeting god while being athiest

[@PlaysWithChildren]

Excuse me, Mr. Christ, what is the purpose for your hair being so long? Will you ever get a hair cut?

[@funincluded]

Why are you wearing long hair when other people wear shorter hair? Journalism.

[@Poppycockify]

"Do you find it useful?" lol.

[@JS-ms9ge]

"plus i cant be fucked to get a haircut"

[@TelecastPropellor96]

funincluded No wonder he doesn't do interviews often

[@judithrobson826]

He handled it better than I would've lol

[@milos_slav_sky]

welcome to Russia, say thank for not beating him because long hair)

[@maxwolfeee]

He looks so uncomfortable and I don't blame him.

[@moustachedgink]

Ричард: Я бы хотел отдохнуть Переводчик: Какую реальность вы предпочитаете?

[@PatchCornAdams723]

The worst and best interview I've ever seen.

[@compilingshaders9698]

русские могут, жать что стенка на фоне не из красных кирпичей была

[@RustyDruff]

It gets even better with subtitles turned on

[@e1anator]

Nah he's not pissed. He's really nice and pleasant when he's answers the mans questions. You can see he's just being patient with them because they are translating. I've heard that he's the nicest guy ever in person. However, watch his facial expressions when the interviewer asks him about his haircut.

[@davycsbritain1279]

there's so much sexual tension in this video haha

[@pyruvicac.id_]

Davy Cs Britain hahahahaha

[@dsmyify]

Hahaha classic!

[@onion6667]

i swear the guy moaned at the start

[@fd8540]

AHAHAHSCCIAXAUHCSJ

[@nailedbomb]

HELP WHAT

[@morgunovbooch]

Это больше похоже на допрос когда Ричарда с весом приняли.

[@asgard.trance]

😆

[@RockBottomRiser21]

"It was bad but... it was funny looking back at it." I bet he feels the same way about this interview.

[@evanjones2974]

where is part 3? this was starting to get decent

[@TheDarkYoshi64]

Richard’s reaction when the interviewer says “Pills reality” and “drug reality” lol

[@sublimit777]

best interview ever

[@jessupjones2783]

the interviewer sounds like he's dying!

[@shayneoneill1506]

92, probably struggling a bit with english. Only a few years after the wall had fell, so I assume most people's english was still fairly rudimentary.

[@Terra101]

@@shayneoneill1506 Says 94 tho.

[@denisvertinsky7628]

Is his hands are tied? Damn, this footage looks like snuff movie and shit. And I like it.

[@IepsyI]

sounds like he timestretched the interviewer's voice.

[@yana.dinamika]

настроение отлучиться от реальности

[@Dudemates]

There must be a third part,the last question, 'do you prefer your reality or a drug reality'!

[@khapa85]

so awkward. i feel shame for those russian interviewers. they didn't really know what to ask and they didn't know whom they were interviewing.

[@thefoggydewy]

this is so awkward to even watch but its so good

[@Cognessence]

This is absolutely hilarious. A brilliantly bizarre interview - and he handled it rather well, I thought.

[@empirix]

lol the expression on his face when asked about drug reality!

[@ezgimosnow]

Wtf with the question about his hair...

[@AnnichenSkaren]

This is the single most painful, and at the same time totally AphexTwin surreal, interview of all time. Who thinks about these things ? Who cares ? But thanks for the laugh. Damn !

[@Cnd2Mn]

Самое странное интервью на всем ютьюбе

[@catacombkid1]

this is why you cant find other interviews with him

[@macaronigrinder]

Aphex in USSR-reality

[@Yer_Da_]

That thing about playing so him and his mates can have a holiday is so wholesome 3:35

[@Brom24]

I love he dumbs his answers down for the last question. "I play so my friends can go on holiday" LOL

[@bwoon4727]

they make me play so they can have holiday

[@Garcian]

great interview. very surreal and candid.... i wish all interviews were like this as you can get a real sense of the person being interviewed.

[@michalgorecki8845]

PILL REALITY

[@Pseudosilhouette]

DRUG REALITY

[@killiotta1]

This gave me a new meaning in life. I'm going to learn russian and move there so that people can actually understand what everyone is saying in interviews. They HONESTLY couldn't find one person in that huge ass city that could actually translate english a little better?

[@meeoo7856]

You know, a good translator cost money

[@RetroPlus]

This is more like a kidnapper's interrogation video or something, such an unsettling vibe here

[@iainrobb2076]

The look of complete bemusement that crosses his face from 4:39 onwards is hilarious.

[@FelizJesusbirth]

Where's part 3? I want to know if he prefers this reality or the alternate pill reality!

[@jan8742]

“food poisoning” “poisoning??” “yeah…”

[@StanPomeray]

I love the way that Richard D James makes really amazing weird music, LOOKS (on his album covers) really quite disturbing and scary, but when he talks he sounds like some bloke who serves you in Tescos LOL

[@Ttytytyyyyyyyytt]

Бедный Ричард, ахаха я ржал .

[@Krist_iana]

Это так ужасно, не могу слушать их тупые вопросы на ломаном английском (((

[@Pseudosilhouette]

3:01 "Не платит вниманием..."

[@RosaFloem]

he deserves a better interview

[@nayil100]

the interviewer is the HIGHEST guy on Earth.

[@jeitoots]

That haircut question still cracks me up!

[@palmsout]

so does RDJ prefer his own reality or some kind of pills reality? we'll never know

[@katarzynakowalczukowska7754]

he said "no tranquility and no acid" and continued by saying that neither his life nor his music are affected by drugs, because he is not an user, and he thinks drugs are very bad. Btw.. these guys should work on their questions, I would be pissed off.

[@katarzynakowalczukowska7754]

Ha, and why back then it was good, huh? Because bunch of teenagers, who didn't even live back then say so? I heard no single *intelligent* person who actually saw MTV back then say it was "good". And this video definitively doesn't show it was good anyway. Aphex Twin was getting very popular back then, this is why they decided to talk to him, still they send complete beginner to interview him, who couldn't ask intelligent question or even spell his artistic pseudonym right. Even Aphex himself didn't answer her question about meaning of "Aphex Twin" saying it was "too complicated" aka "you are too stupid to get it, bitch".

[@sjk254]

He's not shy, he doesn't like interviews. He'd rather be doing what he wants to be doing.

[@joshuatxuk]

I like how suddenly both guys speak english when asking about the hair. It's like thats the only question they're really concerned about. I love how Russians form questions like commands..."are you paying attention to English folk music."

[@humaninterface7153]

lol

[@annethoroughbass8499]

I can't stop replaying from 4:30 to the end.

[@WARDISWARD]

only 23 years old at the time ...1 year before the ' I care because you do release ... AMazing genius

[@willscomix]

The other people doing the DJing wearing the shirt hair...

[@yuragerich]

Later he was tortured in KGB :)

[@IvyMike777]

its like he's being interviewed by Borat. I'm sure the interviewer is a HUGE aphex twin fan.

[@knotlock]

This must be the interview where he’s purposefully awkward because he’s adapting to the interviewer. Genius!

[@Garcian]

3.37 onwards is outrageous... , he starts to speak like a babies wtf?!? i feel like AN amsterdam watching it.

[@PlanetHellDj]

I think you should all thank this "borat" interviewer for providing one of the only 2 interviews I could find on youtube with Richard. The other one being the mtv one. Are there ohers, anyone knows? Also, thanks to the uploader

[@DaftPhunk]

he doesn't really seem shy.. just bored as fuck. damn i wanted to hear his response to that last question!

[@MagicScarf]

'are you paying attention to the english folk music' haha where did that come from???

[@WARDISWARD]

richard is so shy

[@moromali_minimal]

ахахаха его буквально попросили пояснить почему волосы длинные

[@GuyFromNet]

Это так неловко . . . .

[@Krist_iana]

Позорище(((

[@HeyAWoodElf]

his face in the end is hilarious

[@Faster_Lester]

i think the interviewer is Borat. on heroin.

[@mcgstudmuffin]

ask awkward as this interview is, richard still seems like a nice guy :]

[@ukrleaf]

Typical 90s in ex-USSSR) Love he sound of empty bottles being collected. By the way, the interview is 100 times funnier if you know Russian and actually understand these guys)

[@andygray119]

HAH, pretty funny interview. How AFX reacted to poor english and rubbish questions. The end is the best part. "drug reality"...after he just turns to him like he's heard the most insulting statement towards his mother.

[@odiletredici6539]

Perfect for a Dostoevskij novel

[@Amiran902]

это допрос в подвалах лубянки, дальше его начали пытать

[@saturn1returns]

Right at the end it looks like he's gonna hook the interviewer.

[@slipperyslida]

is there a last part to this, as ridiculus as this interview is, it is somehow surreal and strangely engaging

[@vrilmaxxed]

Lmao I can’t stop laughing, Richard’s face😂😂🤣

[@sstrunks8000]

lol I love how he avoids the hell out of eye contact and acts like he is totally not interested. If I was interviewing him I would go insane

[@yushamush9849]

the fuck did the Folk Music question come from?

[@FilziSH]

Interview from pill reality

[@Musiccalculater]

what reality to u prefer?? hahaha. i really want to hear his answer to that. anyone know if theres a part 3 floatin around?

[@ninjagraphics1]

Any chance of uploading the rest of the interview?

[@SBV123]

Holy crap this is painful, every time the interviewer mumbles something I want to punch my computer screen.

[@nailedbomb]

this interview is so awkward istg

[@Shinobudo]

Lol, "I'm just too lazy to do anything about it." He's the man. He really needs someone who's listenned to his music to interview him. But this was over 10 years ago... I'm going to search for something more recent.

[@didjital101]

rofl the interviewer asks "poisoning??" in such a pretend-surprised way... VERY blatant they drugged him and he's now been kidnapped. I hope AFX is ok! :(

[@kiduk]

The haircut question sounds stupid at first, a lot of people would probably wonder why they even asked it, but to me it highlights a marvelous cultural difference. Perhaps in the more affluent countries such as england and the us we have an unspoken respect protecting expression from a lot of criticism, whereas in maybe countries with a very different social background see things more for their direct utility, or value things by their fit into the social norms.

[@wozefa]

after his show at the hard rock hotel in 97 (i think...maybe 98). he and his manager in the parking lot in front of their tour bus. not like we were boys, but we passed the joints. i felt like i was made of water...

[@GoldenRatio]

They asked him about his hair?! Wow, that's real important.

[@udoface]

HAHA...I wonder what the "alternate reality" was. ..too bad the interview got cut off at that part.

[@ogagg123]

so his friends tell richard to play so that they can have a vacation?

[@specterlord]

Basically

[@DedicatedSpirit8]

He seems terrified rather than upset...

[@Andrash88]

I don't understand why any interviewers lose precious time with stars on immediate translating

[@didjital101]

ahahahahaha "do you prefer your reality, or drug reality" !?! sick

[@MechaMento]

4:37 Is this why the album Drukqs has it's name. :P

[@Leotrixofficial]

no, it was apparently just a word he made up and has nothing to do with drugs.

I didn't know Greta Thunberg was such a profound musician.

[@shapehazy]

the last question was the best......

[@contactGonzo]

I think,, he enjoyed this interview.

[@stevoofd]

Russians shouldn't do an interview like this with a man who owns a tank

[@jeneverbes]

yes this is one of the infamous Richard D. James KGB Interrogation Tapes

[@meanmrmustard89]

where is part 3?

[@AlexTheAverageKid]

he is Aphex Twin, he makes the music - another person called Chris Cunningham makes his videos, so if you're going to insult the videos then insult him. I enjoy the videos, pure excellence.

[@AngstFisch]

This might just be another elaborate joke from aphex twin. :p

[@d3p3ch3mod3]

This really is just like the footage of Saddam Hussein when he was captured.
