Yeah, I second that. The new Aphex is very interesting, manages to be
fairly lo-fi, abrasive, sophisticated and charming at the same time. The
Girl/Boy remixes at the end are really killer. Actually, earlier Aphex
stuff has not moved me all that much, despite his being highly recommended
by friends, but the "Richard" album is great.
