certainly some afx tracks have a elegiac or picturesque feeling, and there are a few epic tracks (ziggomatic / 28 organ), but most afx tracks feel like places rather than stories or journeys with beginning and ends. overall there is something relatively static in his tracks, maybe one of the reasons why this music is timeless and good for almost daily listenings.

when i think of ''music that tells stories'', i think of yello tracks, ''oh yeah'' and ''the race''. sad that now ''oh yeah'' is considered a corny track associated with duffman on the simpsons, but when I was a kid this really fired up my imagination, one second skiing in the alps, the other in the middle of somesort of painful invocation, than driving off in a stickshift car. i was dissapointed when i learned the names of the guys in this band, it dimmed the mystery or limited my imagination a little bit, rephlex was truly unto something with its braindance manifesto and push for anonymity. it was my favourite music until donkey rhubarb ep / pancake lizard! but no music ever painted images in my mind like these two yello tracks, afx included (probably because of my being a kid then, can't go back!). only exception maybe team doyobi, first two tracks from ''push chairs for grown ups'', was very stoned at the time but had a very vivid dream / movie in front of my eyes listening to this, an epic journey about a fat bouncer going to dance on the dancefloor. /rambling.
