But what does it mean?
We can only hope that the sight of an Aphex Twin-branded blimp flying high over east London’s Oval Space venue today, emblazoned with “2014″, means that Richard D. James is about to make his long-awaited return.
The timing is interesting, given the release of his “lost” Caustic Window album only a few months back through an innovative Kickstarter campaign. A new record from the Cornish genius would mark his first full-length since 2001′s Drukqs.
Has the FACT April Fool worked its magic again? First Burial, then Boards of Canada – we seem to have a knack for this. In the meantime, discover the facts and fiction of Aphex Twin’s mythology and delve into his 50 greatest tracks.

Just spoke to the guy at the Aphex Twin blimp, he was super shady and wouldn’t tell me anything, but said “it’s gonna be good”
