The first time I saw Richard James in person was in early ’92. He was striding down Eden Street in Kingston upon Thames, with all his hangers-on following him. I followed them into [record shop] Beggars Banquet, and Richard lifted this R&S record [Mescalinum United’s “We Have Arrived” remixes] over his head, saying, “I’m an Unknown Artist;  it’s me… Hahaha.” As he was evidently a buffoon, I decided against introducing myself on this occasion. Instead, I gave him my demo via a mutual friend a week or two later, and we met properly at Colin Dale‘s techno club in central London. Tango N’Vectif was mastered and cut by the end of 1992, though it took another year to come out.

nice hearing someone on the business side of music speaking so bluntly.

also good to hear Ital's got a new one in the pipeline. love Endgame so much, hoping this is something akin to that album.

lol yeah, seems like a subtle dig there (and a few others peppered throughout the interview but dont wanna turn this into a shit-talking speculation thread)

I still talk to Aphex; we spoke a few days ago actually… mainly about relationships, our kids, Covid and vaccines and stuff. He’s always got great anecdotes, and is quite a laugh.

not that it really matters, but this interview was from last year. I remember reading it on bandcamp months ago, as Mu's 25th anniversary was in 2020.
