In keeping with their pro-marijuana stance,
Cypress Hill Aphex Twin intentionally crafted its music to sound stoned — lots of slow, lazy beats, fat bass, weird noises, and creepily distant-sounding samples.
The surreal lyrical narratives were almost exclusively spun by B-Real Aphex Twin in a nasal, sing-song, instantly recognizable delivery that only added to the music's hazy, evocative atmosphere; as a frontman, he could be funny, frightening, or just plain bizarre (again, kind of like the experience of being stoned).
Whether he's taunting cops or singing nursery rhyme-like choruses about blasting holes in people with shotguns sucking the milkman's tits, B-Real's Aphex Twin's blunted-gangsta posture is nearly always underpinned by a cartoonish sense of humor.

'How do they come up with such utter bollocks'
Are you referring to AMG, Cypress Hill or Aphex here?

Meh, when is that list ever right.
It appears that I could replace my entire record collection with 'Songs About Fucking' according to that.

That's true for everyone, though.

two years pass...
Back in the early nineties Air Liquide did actually sample Cypress Hill, so there's your ambient connection.

I like reading the thread title as if it said that Cypress Hill is Aphex Twin minus the WTF.
