    The dynamic in this interview is wonderful. It's like flirty, but not, in a weird way. Like there's a lot of smiling, particularly from her, but he doesn't maintain eye contact long enough for it to cross over into anything more, despite how close they are to each other. And she also doesn't seem adoring, just fascinated by him. Also he's introverted but never nervous - very chill. I come back to this interview loads because it's just so fun to watch. I also love how he's just a geezer, one of your mates. "You still doing the music Ritch?" "Yeh mate, I love it, it's decent"

    • @EdiDrums
      @EdiDrums 3 года назад +45

      Excellent summing up. As another commenter (called Frogmorton Hotchkiss) says, 'she looks like an intelligent girl who has to do the obligatory 1990s ladette thing.' You can see a lot of very practised, superficial 'crazy-tv-interviewer' behaviour typical of music TV in the 1990s which is jarring and seems at odds which how she would behave if just interviewing him straight, unaffected.

      That makes sense tbh. When you think about the kind of music he creates, it’s clear he doesn’t view or think of music like most normal people do. If he was to compile a list of 10 of his favourite tracks for an album, I can imagine it would be the least accessible stuff, that even some hardcore Aphex fans wouldn’t get.
      Getting more ‘normal’ people to decide what music he released early in his career, made it so much more accessible. Would be interesting to know how SAW 85-92 would’ve been received if it was just his song choices.

    His voice cracked a little when he was asked about his brother. You can tell that even though it's public knowledge, it still bothers him a bit. I've always had a theory that he chose the name "Aphex Twin" as a personification of his stillborn brother when he's on stage, and then he's Richard in his daily life. Basically living his life for both of them to make up for the life his brother never had.

    Only a very brief part of this interview ended up on American MTV. I remember seeing him play in Detroit (Pontiac, to be precise) a few months later with the dancing bears, and it is still, to this day, a wonderful memory. It isn't hard to believe that his music has held up all of this time, but sometimes it's mind-blowing considering the amount of technology we've seen developed, yet he still made things then that still push the envelope now. And, of course, I'm so happy he's releasing more music these days, but nothing will hold a candle to when his stuff was (quite literally) 15 years ahead of its time.
