pronouncing AFX


YEK

Recommended Posts

When I first bought Richard D James album in high school (when it was still in "new electronic musics" section), I pronounced "Aphex Twin", as "Ah-phex Twin"-> Ah=A as in "Apple" or "Asshole" or a sheep's "baaah" (USA Amairkhan Engrish, that is). My IDM girl later learnt me that it was "Eiphex Twin", "Ayephex Twin".

p.s. What the fuck is up with "Aphex" in "Aphex Twin" being licensed from Aphex Electronics, or whatever it was... I haven't read it in years, but I recall on Aphex Twin releases, there used to be a note of the name being licensed. HWAT?!

Yeah, what... what's up with that? WHAT IS THE DEAL?!?!?!?!??!

 

In me hardware days, I used to have an Aphex Aural Exciter, which was basically a box of magic.

 

(edit: actually, I just remembered I used the BBE Sonic Maximizer 262, cuz it was cheaper than Aural Exciter, haha... but uh.... Same kind of thing.)

Aye - I believe it's totally because of that machine

Like when Panasonic had to change their name for Pan Sonic

 

Just hope I don't get done by the Swedish clothing store

You mean how Pan Sonic had to change their name because the electronics giant Panasonic already had the name decades before...

Easy tiger ! (but yep, copyright reasons like the 70s Aphex Aural Exciter) - In Panasonic's case highlighted by their cheeky first album under the new Pan Sonic moniker - 'A')
