Re: AphexTwin

Ah, that would be UI software's Metasynth. He uses that quite a bit, 
but only for quite extreme effects, not drum programming or anything 
like that. Ive always wondered what his tracks 'look' like, his 
arrangements in Logic or whatever the hell he uses.

I was mucking around and came up with quite a neat track a few weeks 
ago, you can grab it here (shameless plug;):

It wasnt intentional, but afterwards a lot of people said it was very 
Aphex-like. I'd take it as a complement, if only it wasnt so poor a 
track ;o)

Cheers,
Oli
