Warp’s Steve Beckett: New Aphex Twin Album?

"How to describe Aphex Twin? I don't know. I call him an English eccentric – always into creating for the hell of it. He isn't bothered by what other people think of his music. In fact, the only reason he puts it out is for financial reasons, so he doesn't have to get a proper job. A lot of artists say [they don't care] but I've never me anyone who is that uninterested in the indstry side of things. He played the game in the beginning a bit, but as the years go by, he's able to pull the drawbridge up more. I'm sure it's affecting his sales – he'd probably sell a lot more records if he did some promo – but to him it's important to be isolated and focus on what he's doing creatively."
