Re: [microsound] has Aphex Twin ever written anything?

So what?
Does a composer need to be a writer? This attitude of being a commentator on
one's own music has given us the worst of music, not the best. The end
result stands alone, or not. Make up your own mind, but don't criticize the
man for not writing. My own view is that Richard James is one of the world's
best contemporary composers, with or without his "halo of mystery".

Again, in my opinion, he's achieved his success against all the odds. We
need more Aphex Twins, not less. Record companies will hopefully learn from
this success.
