Interviewer: Your music has been hugely influential. One of the more prominent musicians who’ve said that they’ve been inspired by your records are Radiohead? Did you listen to any of their last two albums, Kid A and Amnesiac? Aphex Twin: I don’t like them. I heard maybe five or six tracks, and I thought they sounded really really cheesy. Interviewer: Cheesy? Aphex Twin: Yeah, really obvious and cheesy. I mean, I’m just comparing it to my favourite music, and I think it’s terrible compared to that. But compared to all the shit boring R&B tracks, it’s probably alright. Compared to those teen punk sort of bands or whatever they are supposed to be called, who think that they are really anarchic and stuff like that, they are probably amazing. If you’re only exposed to that kind of stuff, and then Radiohead come along, you will probably think that they are geniuses. Aphex Twin: I’m quite happy with the state of things at the moment. I like there to be shit music around. I like people to not be informed of what’s around. If too many people would listen to what I listen to, I wouldn’t like it. I always wanted to be seen as being different. I like to like things that other people don’t. If Merzbow was in the charts, I wouldn’t like it anymore. Some people don’t wanna do what everyone else is doing and some people do. It’s very simple. (laughs) Richard D. James觉得Radiohead很俗气。尽管他勉强打圆场说自己是为了特立独行所以不喜欢排行榜高位的唱片,但我认为他确实不喜欢,毕竟他说过自己喜欢Pink Floyd,Led Zeppelin和Brian Eno,他们的唱片经常会登上排行榜高位。他还提到了Merzbow,有许多事情证明他喜欢Merzbow。 Interviewer: The sister project related to the same piece of Penderecki is going to be realized by Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead. You once stated, that you do not like this band too much. Aphex Twin: Thats a fact, but recently I contacted Thom York though the internet. I told him: Do not believe everything you read on the newspapers. Interviewer: So did you bury the hatchet ? Aphex Twin: My opinion towards my demotivation with radiohead was exaggerated. Richard D. James后来愿意与Jonny Greenwood合作并说他对Radiohead的负面看法被媒体扩大了,不过他还是承认他确实不喜欢Radiohead。
