Global Goon’s Johnathon Taylor is a former programmer from Lydiate who earned a recording contract with Rephlex Records before moving to London and being Richard D. James’ (aka Aphex Twin) housemate for a time. He had been making electronic music using SoundEdit 16 while supporting himself with various programming jobs. After moving into a shared house with James, he released his first untitled album (known as Goon) on Rephlex in 1995. Rumors that Goon actually was an alias for Aphex Twin persisted even after the release of Cradle of History two years later. After releasing Vatican Nitez four years later, he left the Rephlex label and started releasing his albums on his own label J-HOK records, as well as Audio Dregs and WeMe.

Global Goon, Aphex Twin and Syntheme are all the same person - Richard David William James.

people of earth, let's correct the track "Who Gonched Ya?". the correct track name is "Who Goncha Ya?". 1) musicbrainz 2) amazon 3) discogs. vote for the correct track name. no, seriously. you can do it.

I used to sit next to him at work. Good bloke, a quiet feller. His real name is Jonathan Taylor. His musical alter-ego is Johnny Hawk aka Global Goon. I borrowed one of Aphex's Kraftwerk CDs through him. He never got me an introduction or slipped him my demo tape, mind. I had to send them in the post like everyone else.

Man, I never see any love at all for "Rockford," which I personally think is one of his best tracks. Vatican Nitez is great too, though.

liveinhope is right, Saint Aime is addictive acid stuff with the Global Goon sauce, reminds me AFX's Analord.
