IT WASN'T APHEX TWIN, i worked at the event, and they didn't show up, it was a dj playing an aphex style set, thats why they never cam out on stage, and it never quite seemed to pick up.... sorry to disappoint, i was vexed
@DIGItalColourMedia Lying again? when did I lie before? He/they, sorry I'm not an avid follower, but was looking forward to seeing HIM play as I haven't seen him before. However it wasn't him. I know he has a history of being unpredictable to the extent many organisers won't book him as they are too prudish of what he might do, but he doesn't have a history of being boring.
played some sick tunes - rig was waaaay too quiet - i was right at the front and there was just loads of people mouthing off that it couldnt be him and generally spoiling the vibe - i was actually ready to punch someone. and the whole stand-in thing is a load of bull i reckon - a bunch of fellers in day-glo nappies gurning - nuff said really. and the mysterious stand in even looked identical to twin (check the coachella interview with him on youtube - with shortish hair)
was talking to a mate afterwards who was working doing rigging at bestival and according to him IT WASN'T APHEX TWIN. He didn't show up so they put a dj on instead to play a similar style set.
It wouldn't surprise me at all- i thought the set was rubbish (but good for a stand in DJ i guess haha)
Yeah, it was really lame. No visuals, no bass, it never got going at all. Plus, I was expecting a 'proper' set, not a DJ set. 808 State were good though.
what do you mean by a proper set? please explain because he never plays live instruments or even has a mic? i do not understand your expectations of aphex twin? you know... APHEX TWIN?
Why would he have a mic? Listen, I've ssen Aphex Twin before so don't bother trying to preach, I know exactly what he's like - by proper set I meant playing his own stuff as opposed to DJing.
i was there; infact, im literally right next to the people who took this vid and to any Aphex twin Fan i have got to say that it was a total disappointment. and to DDUJMA below, THERE WAS NO BASS (the speaker broke)
Yeah I have to say that I was expecting a lot more from him, seeing as he was pretty much touted as a headline act by bestival... I mean he was not bad by any means, I just left a tad dissapointed.

@aliaucky You're lying again. Aphex Twin is one person. Richard D. James. Go home.

@aliaucky Yeah, okay - I was harsh. Just assumed you were one of those morons who go around making stuff up. Sorry.
How are you sure it wasn't him?

Was expecting more clasic nosebleed music, but that's the fun of dear old richard, he'll play anything.
