Which also is true... In a sense... I suspect it's the 'legendary artist's consistency syndrome' which also afflicts Sonic Youth, if Pitchfork were to be believed. In other words; expectations are high and patience is low and musical ears everywhere feel shortchanged when something is not the Second Coming (which reminds me of the Stone Roses... but that's a different story). It's true we expect more from Aphex Twin, but I think in the end, he's the sort of artist who wouldn't be buggered by what we expect. Which is exactly part of his appeal. And I loved drukqs, by the way.
