Aphex Twin, born Richard David James, August 18, 1971, in Limerick, Ireland to Welsh parents Lorna and Derek James, is an electronic music artist. He grew up in Cornwall, United Kingdom and started producing music around the age of 12.

Richard has been hailed as “the most inventive and influential figure in contemporary electronic music” with his works ranging from ambient pieces to acid house.

In 1991 Aphex formed the Rephlex record label with his friend Grant Wilson-Claridge. Signed artists include Mike Paradinas (aka µ-Ziq) and Squarepusher.

Also known as: AFX, Blue Calx, Bradley Strider, Caustic Window, The Dice Man, GAK, Polygon Window, Power-Pill, Q-Chastic, Soit-P.P., Rich in Mike & Rich, Martin Tressider in Universal Indicator (with Michael C. Cullen aka Mike Dred, The Kosmik Kommando )

Rumours also indicate him as one of the driving forces behind The Tuss.

<3 Aphex Twin. Although that pic of him with the gun should not be the main pic. He looks like some hillbilly nutjob, but then maybe that was the look he was going for! xD mental

Just because you don't understand the appeal doesn't mean you have the authority to say it is trash.

this old man here and his kindergarten. musically boring, repetitive, simple. the good thing: you can forget ALL of it. he is ignored by professionals and the days of composed material on the trash. the best thing: he cant lie to himself, he knows that he has no talent whatsoever.

I want to hear afx discography now but can't because I have school. I want to sit here and hear every single song but can't. Feel sorry for me.

I find it really amazing how I thought that RDJ was mediocre upon first listen, and now his five studio albums under the Aphex Twin name are among my favorite albums ever, and he is easily my most listened to artist. Go figure.

It's overwhelming to get into this guy. I can hardly can find a place to start. SAW 85-92 is brilliant though.
