what do you guys think of the ventolin remixes? a guy i met who saw i had an aphex twin cd ("Other people listen to this shit!?") made me a mix awhile ago, and he put a lot of the ventolin remixes on it..I personally feel some of them are downright unlistenable, like i can listen to them, but there's nothing redeeming about them..PS. sorry for doing so many topics, i just wanted to know how people felt about these remixes |

my humble, personal thoughts + feelings, Ross, are the following: -i'm glad you're not afraid to voice your opinion about what you *don't* like about Aphex -that being said, i don't like the original "Ventolin" very much at all, it's very hard on my ears, and at loud volumes, unquestionably damaging to your hearing with that high-pitched whine. so i don't encourage it! -as for most of the "Ventolin" remixes... i find a lot of them have neat snippets of ideas and the certain melodic, harmony, or rhythmic allusions to other Aphex tracks, but for the most part, they don't stand up to me as cohesive pieces. or, as de facto remixes but i appreciate the creativity. -the Cylob remix is alright but not one of my favorites among the works of Chris Jeffs (who i generally consider to be "da man"!) -i haven't listened to them in a long time so maybe my opinions will change on the next spin... but this is what i recall, anyway. -and no, i don't like "73 Yips" either but "On" is really cool :o) |

i love the original ventolin for its twangs and metal bangs. i enjoy the remixes off the 51/13 singles collection, but they sound nothing like the original. that's often how it is with techno remixes though. have you heard chemical brothers remix of prodigies voodoo people? sounds nothing like the original. |

"twangs and metal bangs" -- now there's a catchphrase. |

With all the laughing that is littered throughout half the Ventolin remixes, and the fact that hardly any of them actually sound like the original ventolin (except for the "wheeze" mix) makes me think that it might of been a joke, (RDJ might be thinking that marketing a remix of a "popular" song will get the people who only listen to the "popular songs" to think he's crap, It might just be his way of staying out of the mainstream market) but as for the Probus Mix, Wheeze Mix (the only true ventolin remix) and Plain and gwaary mix (without the laughing)I think they are good, and maybe the fact that he put next to no thoughts into the name further conclude my theory (did I say that right?) but still I think that the majority of them are jokes |

good theory about getting people to not buy his work, it might just be a joke...I love the song On, of course..has anyone heard the i believe u-ziq remix of that, its really tribal and builds up slowly, its insane! |

The Cylob mix is fucking brilliant. You obviously have no clue what you are talking about. It is the best mix on there. You have 1 day to respond to this post to disagree with me otherwise I will assume that you are either: a) In total agreement with me b) Dead Peez. @illa (of the skitzoid association of hiphop spiters/ SAHS) |

It is the best one on there, it is fucking brilliant, it is true. |

It's sad how we are often forced to right the wrongs that were once committed on the board. |

might of been a joke Now that's just an injustice in itself right there. HAVE does not equal OF. Fuck. |

a) In total agreement with me cylob is a music king |

It´s a collection of tracks, "remixes" isn´t the right word, not those made by afx anyway (except the wheeze mix) I like the crowsmengegus mix best - one of the best tracks RDJ has written - so funky and danceable! :D |

It looks like a CD of remixes to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Probus is good, and the Cylob mix is mental. But it's the Wheeze Mix that is my favorite product ever to bear the Ventolin name. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Oh, yes it looks like it. But Obviously most tracks could have been done anytime - just the titling says it´s an actual "remix" - in most cases it´s just a track made before or after ventolin but no remix... (I think) (maybe I´m old fashioned, but I think a remix shuld have at least one little detail in it who could be traced back to the original, most ventolinversions don´t, they´re just a bunch of tracks) |

Maybe you're thinking of the Ventolin e.p. There is also a Ventolin (the remixes) e.p. |

one of the high moments in rdj career |

|

|

I´m meaning both e.p´s - I bought them both back in 95, I like most of the tracks, but the word "remix" doesn´t fit in for a lot of the tracks, I think... |

Carharrack mix is excellent; short and creepy. |
