Aphex Twin on this live: "They used my soundcheck audio for this footage because their actual gig audio was distorted, they got the soundcheck audio off the desk, you can see its not really in sync. The soundcheck was not live, just me putting fx on over DAT playback. Ive still got a good copy of the actual gig recorded on DAT which I should upload at some point if and when I get onto the gig files. Oh and my fuckin monitor died halfway through the first track, was mostly off the studio 440 though.."

Massive respect to the late great John Peel for bringing Richard into the public eye 👁‍🗨, back in the 92' BBC radio peel sessions. Classics. The day I got outta jail November 92' I bought selected ambient works 85/92 and it changed my life for music.

[@DigDugger-hg1xb]

It's so interesting that you didn't say "...it changed my life for [the better]" but rather, "for music." - as a musician I feel that somehow. Yours was my favourite 'I used to listen to this when' story I've seen. Short and bittersweet. Thanks and may you be blessed. I'm currently learning to appreciate this artist!

[@nomad1517]

The thing about Aphex twin that I loved more than anything was how he can really make anything sound computerized, like it really came from a computer, but he could also make something sound so atmospheric it sounds like something that came from another planet, or dimension, or like something from heaven, very very few artists I can name ever got close to what Richard could create, I think a lot of that came from his ability to truly let his mind wonder, and listen to things, observe things, almost a sort of meditation, which tbh, I feel is really the heart of a true artist. Him and Brian eno were truly some of the best electronic music artists to ever walk the earth.

[@blackporscheroadster6415]

Lots of DJs hide behind screens or 'tarps' - it is because they are actually doing very little and don't want anyone to notice. Most just play pre-recorded.created set lists, then pretend to be creating music by turning a few EQ knobs and volume sliders and taking their hedphones off now and then. Hiding, also allows them to relax more and not keep pretending all the time. I was a music researcher for PRS for ten years and met 100s of DJs.
