Radio jingles sprinkled throughout, between or at the very beginning of songs. I did not edit them out to keep everything flowing nicely.

During the radio intro, the host tells us a little bit about Aphex Twin, the myths surrounding him, etc. For those who don't understand Norwegian, here is a summary:

* He obviously liked playing at Quart, because the rumours say he didn't want any payment for playing.
* At the hotel in Kristiansand, Mr. James enjoyed himself by making fun of people he thought looked really stupid.
* There is a myth saying that he never sleeps, but that is obviously not true. But he is by nature "on speed" / quite hyperactive.
* A true myth is that at his parents' in Wales he has parked an armored & armed military vehicle which has caused quite a lot of damage in the normally quiet town of Cornwall...
* He has done many remixes, and the most well-known is probably the one he did for Lemonheads, because he had forgotten all about it, so when the mailman came to pick up the remix, he went up to his bedroom, found a tape of some music he once made, and presented it as a remix! this was released on an album, and he made 40.000 bucks (unknown currency) off of it.
* He also claims to have written a lot of pop songs which have been high on the top 40 lists in great britain, but he refuses to say which songs/artists this concerns.
* The audience at the Quart Festival had a quite bizarre experience: there were some teddy-like creature on stage, and aphex twin himself sat in a sofa and looked like he was quite relaxed. The show itself is on the other hand very good and very interesting.
