Well it seems that the ball is finally rolling and we may see an album from the mad scientist of IDM yet:

I’ll believe it when I see it of course, but this does feel more concrete and a little more ‘official’ somehow. I always thought he’d release a new album one day.
And a possible 2011 Big Day Out appearance has wet my appetite somewhat!
Perfect Sound Forever: Another term that's been used to describe your work is intelligent dance music.
I just think it's really funny to have terms like that. It's basically saying, 'this is intelligent and everything else is stupid.' It's really nasty to everyone else's music. (laughs) It makes me laugh, things like that. I don't use names. I just say that I like something or I don't.
—Aphex Twin[31]The term ‘intelligent dance music’ always seemed to stick for Aphex. It just works somehow even if he disregards it. I mean…it’s not just doof doof doof dancefloor shit.
Hope this rumour is true.
It renders the music with an air of pretension that it doesn’t ask for, let alone deserve. There are less patronising ways to describe it.
Fuck Aphex Twin at the The Big Day Out for a joke. If I wanna watch some balding 40 year old with a pot belly play loopy acid house I’ll go to Upstairs At Revolver on a Sunday night.
Maybe the hipster doofus 20 year old college crowd are razzle dazzled by that sort of thing, but not this honcho.
Maybe it all sounds better on ecstasy, I don’t know and dread to think.

Revolver really has gone to shit.
Oh who am I kidding?

Wow. That does bring back a load of (drunken) memories.
