Untalked-about Song...

Hey all,

I just realised that NOBODY has ever talked about that song
on I Care Because You Do, called Wet Tip Hen Ax (Track 8).

So let's all give our opinions about it.

I reckon it's kind of a sad song, I get the image of a
sunset and the silhouette of a rooster crowing...

for some reason, icbyd is the afx cd i listen to the least.
some songs on it are so good but it just doesnt seem as
consistent as some of the other releases from aphex twin.

yeah. i reckon the album has a weak point. that's songs 4,5
and 6. Those three never really did much for me

I agree with 5 and 6 not being that great, but Icct Hedral??
I think it's great!

No problem. Thanks for replying to my reply. I don't get
much respect around here. :P

yeah, those 3 are a little weak, i do like the last 3 on the
album a lot though.

nah, you do!

I don't reckon you can be popular or unpopular on this
board. Most of the people here are cool, anyway.

Ahh!! ICBYD is the best shit ever!! ahhh!! I can't even read
anyone say anything bad about it, it upsets me so much!

I Care Because You Do is a fucking masterpiece. My favorite
album of all time. Wet Tip Hen Ax rocks. Although its not
the best track.

Do you like Ventolin, too? It really wouldn't be bad at all
if it didn't have the annoying high pitch squeal throughout
the entire track. It's not even that I don't like it, I just
can't physically listen to it--gives me a headache.

When I first heard Ventolin, it sounded really harsh. But
now me and my friends listen to it, and it's a pretty cool
track. I like his distortions and cool effects he adds in
it.

That's what I like about Drukqs,too. All of the crazy
effects he uses.

Well, I'm off to lunch. See ya people!

hah, lunch im goin to sleep. yeah i thought ventolin was
crazy noise when i first heard it and skipped it. now i
listen to it and its actually pretty good. my beef isnt
with ventolin but with a few other tracks that dont interest
me very much on that album. overall its a pretty good cd
but i prefer some of his other releases more. goin to sleep,
bye.

I admit I turn down the volume about on that track.
Sometimes I'm really in the mood for it and I just rock out
to it...other times I'm not, its the weakest track imo, but
for some reason the whole album is so great to me, so
emotional that it could be 4 minutes of nails on a
chalkboard and I would still fucking love it (the album, not
the nail/chalkboard track).

I think I Care Because You Do is the pinnacle of electronic
music. Nothing has surpassed it.

Tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 10 are all some of the best musical
compositions ever, In my personal (yet admittedly
overzealous) opinion.
Tracks 5, 8, 9, 11, and 12 are just amazing electronica
tracks, that perfectly smooth over whole album, give you
moments to make a rest stop on your aphex-piloted
intergalactic journey.

oh my god I can't believe that last sentance I just wrote.
lol
