Fuckin hell.
I love Aphex's tunes, but everytime i've seen him live it's been very dissapointing.

Tru dat. I saw him a few years back and he played a noisy as fuck set for well over an hour. Pure high range aggression, which is all fun and games inna house, but fucking annoying when you wanna get skanking to some classic Twin.
Yet my mate saw him and he rocked a hardcore breakbeat and jungle set. It's a gamble. I'd still pay all my money to see him again, nothing short of a god.

Yeah, tbh if Aphex had based his career on consistantly giving the fans what they want he'd have got boring a very long time ago.

It still sucks if you go to see a hero and don't get what you were hoping for, but it's a risk you have to take with that sort of artist...

for me aphex is like squarepusher. at times its really, really good but most of the time i just dont like it. luke vibert is a totally different animal though. the man can just turn his hand to anything.
23k is a bit steep if you ask me. its considerably more then anyone gets for matter. if you think, the club isnt too big aswell. as a result the tickets are £23.

Honestly, he deserves it. And he will bring a crowd into any event, so it's probably worth it.

it don't make him a dick, promoters are not forced 2 book him.

sounds like a lot of cash, but there's a lot of people who charge a lot who have not much talent.

guy has been around for a long time, has huge respect from most people..u can't compare him 2 someone like a dubstep dj.

RDJ can charge whatever the fuck he likes.

He's earned it.

If I was him I'd ask for more tbh.

The more he gets paid, then more time he can spend at home writing riddims, and not worrying about what you slags think.

Yep, nice work. I saw him 10 odd years ago spin sandpaper on two decks for half an hour.

The musical equivalent to Banksy.
