This is the first Aphex Twin tune I ever heard, I think it was in a 1992 documentary about the Perth rave scene which I will upload and post here very soon.
Anyway, some people don't like calling Aphex Twin techno, but I think that is a modern sitation caused by techno's converegence on a very narrow definition as 4x4, layered minimal dance music.
Aphex Twin's own label is called Rephlex Records - and they call their music 'braindance'.
"braindance is the genre that encompasses the best elements of all genres, e.g traditional, classical, electronic music, popular, modern, industrial, ambient, hip hop, electro, house, techno, breakbeat, hardcore, ragga, garage, drum and bass, etc."
Well, okay. Check it out.
