Mmm. Very close. The problem is that if you come from the post-Schoenberg school, you're bound to have an iffy relationship with repitition. It's not really a difficult argument as far as I'm concerned - Aphex is good but not musically sophisticated. If you privelege sophistication as the most important tenet of music, then Aphex = bad, Stockhausen = good. It's all nonsense, but not as much nonsense as the vapid rhetoric thrown at Aphex.
And comics are for spackers.
