Spend your way out of the recession, it's what Gordon would want ;)

Aside from that; bare hyped for this, absolutely nutty lineup! Will no doubt struggle to sleep with the excitment in the weeks leading up to this!!

well MFM was just a compilation of old demo tracks...definitely not supposed to be considered a true aphex release.
same with AB5 - except that one i reckon had some of the best aphex tracks ever. (track 1 and 8 - yes!)

You can't please everyone. Plus, he probably gets off on pissing people off quite a lot I'd imagine, since he's looked upon as such a legend and obviously has a pretty devious sense of humour.

I heard he charges £110k and his rider demands hot dogs and women from the north.

That's what I heard. At that level I can only guess the person is more concerned with money than playing gigs.

last time i saw RDJ play, someone i know who was promoting the event told me that he had asked for 'gurning men' as his rider, nothing else...

When he played his set there were 4 men in Aphex Twin t shirts gurning their faces off on stage...

Class

It's was all about the fighting giant teddies from back on the day though...

he was nothing Amazing @ bestival this year but that was mainly down to the sound restrictions. Played some awesome jungle towards the end of his set

however; Saw him at Tribal Gathering many moons ago and it changed everything

Really hyped to see him at bloc

Tipper, Martyn, 2562, Frequency 7 and the rest of the usual dubstep suspects

real soon as well

Such an insane lineup !!
