Aphex Twin – Milkman

• +2
  General Comment:From what I've heard, the milkman refused to deliver milk to RDJ because of the loud music coming from his flat. So that's actually what this song is about, for real

  General Comment:The fact that something may be experimental and unusual does not mean it was created while stoned. In this case, the artist is very funny and brilliant, which has nothing to do with using drugs.

  General Comment:Jaggeh: The other band David Firth likes is Locust Toybox. I'm a fan of his work too. Men From up the Stairs is genius... =D

  General Comment:I have a couple of things to say about this song. First of all, I thought the beginning was just indecipherable gibberish. I could never comprehend any sort of words in it. And second, does anybody see the similarities between this song and Squarepusher's My Red Hot Car. I read about that somewhere.

  General Comment:RDJ doesn't do drugs and write music. He has tried drugs I believe and has written music while off his face. But apparently he didn't like the results. So, in general, I doubt any of the songs on his albums are the written while off his tits. Maybe some have been influenced by his drug experiences though. I don't know.
  
  It's funny how a lot of people mention nightmares n stuff when discussing Aphex Twin stuff. RDJ has mentioned that he only sleeps a few hours a night and has very lucid dreams - almost like he drops straight into REM sleep and pops out again. Upon waking he often writes music straight away putting his dream into music.
  
  IMHO, he is a true musical genius in that his thoughts and emotions he puts into music. He writes music to give friends as presents and much of his work is never heard as it's not for commerical release. His music is almost like an outlet for everything - instead of sport, poetry, building a house or whatever, it all goes into music. He's so damn prolific it's scary :)
  
  As for David Firth, I've been a big fan for ages and I now believe he works for New Grounds (which is why fat-pie.com isn't updated as much as it used to be). Check out The Boy that Smelled Funny for a brilliant look on cencorship. DF also uses Boards of Canada (great ambient stuff) as well as a few others I don't recall.
  
  Oh, btw, he doesn't have a tank. He has a Ferret recon vehicle (a big car). Iirc, he doesn't have a drivers licence and he's crashed it at least once :)
