Wrong.

A = acid

ph = ph as in acid-base

ex = don't know anymore. Anyone?

There was no twin. Brother is what you call it.

Uhm...what would 'AFX' be then?

the word aphex comes from the Aphex reverb unit made by a company called Fisher.

Brother is right... but to say that there was no twin is wrong. It originally was Tom Middleton as the twin (as appeared on 'Analogue Bubblebath'), but after the 'falling out' or what have you, I believe Richard just played it off as that was how it was 'intended' to be.

It is an acronym TBH
