Aphex Twin - MTV News feature, 1993
Музыка
Talking about the On video, amongst other things. From late 1993/early 1994.
If you want to comment on use of the word "The" in this clip, I suggest you maybe concern your day with more pressing issues, nerd!

Drugs had 0 influence on any of his music.. he even said it in one of his interviews somewhere. "You must have had some days where you were under the influence pretty hardcore from the feelings behind some of the tracks". "I dont believe in influence, life and reality i think are already there, youre just saturated in a certain area of your mind at various times, what is done to move to other areas is not influenced or motivated to do so, you just simply have to know the right path to take to get where you think you want to be." Insert the sound of brain matter smacking the ground... cuz mind blown.. and the best ways of saying self medicating over "doing drugs".. lol
He seems like a real proper genuine guy. Thanks for sharing! 7\

He seems like he just makes music as a hobby and somehow he just got famous along the way. I always wondered if he was autistic. He doesn't seem to like people, and is very technical. That also explains why his ambient stuff is so unearthly, this guys brain is in a dream state by design. Legend.
