AFX - the original

So at a garage sale today I stumbled upon parts of an electric race car set emblazoned with the name AFX in yellow on blue. I never knew this was the source of the name.

It'll one day become the greatest collectible known to IDM hipsters everywhere.

This one right? I doubt it's the original source for the name though, more like a nice coincidence?

Phoenix funk 500?

i think it's coincidence, but he probably was aware of it. Also i remember old cassetes (that he send as demos to labels) had something afx in the name of manufacter on it. Could be from there.

You can make names up without reference. It's not that hard

There's this asshat on this horrible reality show stateside, Alaskan Bush People. One kid on the show has total RDJ vibes. Can't find a real good pic, but anyway.

The Aphex of Aphex Twin is a trademark owned by Aphex Systems Ltd., a company manufacturing products for the professional audio and broadcast (best known for his Aural Exciter ™ Aphex Systems Ltd). On some of the recent releases of Richard, the indication Aphex is a registered trademark of Aphex Systems Ltd and is used by permission is noted on the packaging. But according to the NME of 13 February 1993: "Richard came to use the word accident, using the "A" from Aphex for acid component of its sound and the "ph" as the measure of this acidity (pH). He had never even heard of Aural Exciter ™ before they released several albums. He is the last person who would give the name of a brand of equipment manufactured by someone else while he was building his own synthesizers thirteen. »

AFX is an abbreviation of Aphex word.
