He's mentioned the acquisition of some Elektron gear in recent interviews. Think he's got the Rytm, A4 and OT

I love reading about him and his way of thinking, he sounds like such an interesting character, in a way it helps to understand some of his music too, thanks for posting those ukit and whoever posted the interview

I think it's the sheer volume and diversity of his work that makes it so impressive...same thing with Tom Jenkinson or Mike Paradinas. I don't like every last tune he's put out but he's delved into so many different types of music that to my mind puts him far above your typical electronic musician that just works within a single scene or style.
Out of the newer guys, maybe someone like Mr. Oizo can be comparable...

There is a funny (but also interesting) moment where he shows up on the Planet Mu forum and launches into a long spiel about the respective merits of analogue vs digital gear

Towards the end of the second track of the "Windowlicker" single (commonly referred to as "Equation") a photo of James's face is embedded as a steganogram which is revealed when run through spectral analysis.[24] The picture illustrates his famous toothy, evil grin (with a spiral also visible at the end of "Windowlicker"). In addition to this, the third track of "Two Remixes by AFX" (Bonus High Frequency Sounds) contains an image encoded in SSTV format, with text relating to the release, finishing with an image of James and Tom Jenkinson.

Conveniently, both Rephlex Records and Planet Mu launched new websites recently where you can buy their entire catalog directly.

I am mad at Aphex Twin for raising my standard of what I consider good music to so much higher than it used to be. But not really :P

From the interview above:
MEREDITH: Would you ever want to do an over-the-top, chart-busting pop song?
RICHARD: How do you know I haven't? [laughs] I've done loads of secret things. There are quite a few that no one has come close to guessing. But then, a lot of people think everything electronic is mine. I get credited for so many things, it's incredible. I'm practically everyone, I reckon — everyone and nobody.

It's stuff like this that does my head in with Aphex twin. Maybe he's been Tiësto this whole time as well.
