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

Although not written by Richard James, this excerpt from Brian Eno's 
"Webs" book that is included in the Brian Eno 1 instrumental box is 
kind of interesting.

"There's one area that I don't know much about that gets called 
ambient," he confesses "which is the Aphex Twin type area. Whenever I 
do hear things, I don't particularly recognize it as what I call 
ambient" Of some of these new ambient tracks, he comments, guardedly, 
that they "sound like what I would do if I had just bought a 
synthesiser. But then why not?" he adds. "I'm sure that's what a lot of 
people think I do."

Speaking of Aphex Twin, I listened to "My Teapot" on the Artificial 
Intelligence 2 compilation the other day, he uses the Polygon Window 
artist title, rather than Aphex Twin. The song has some interesting 
microsound elements to it.
