>If you have ever tried creating electronic music with drum machines, synthesizers, midi loopers, etc, it would be a lot easier to appreciate his music I think.

Seems like your comment comes from someone for whom "real" music is rock, jazz, etc, and they assume everybody starts like that.

But in electronic there are far more niche genres than Aphex Twin's. He was left of field in the semi-mainstream, not across the board.
