Mini Aphex

Hello,
I am writing becuase I saw some aphex cd's in HMV in
Basingstoke. In the mall outside the train station.

They were baby sized CDs, and they had cheap little covers.
Cost about £7 each, there were about 3 0r 4 different ones
to choose from. I went up and spoke to the guy at the till
about them and he said they were official warp stuff. Just
released small scale. I am going round there to buy all of
that stuff next time I am there. One of them had something
written on it along the lines of "Because you don't give a
shit and neither do we"

Anyone know anything about these things. Guy at the counter
said these things were too difficult for him to handle, his
words were "very weird", "for the more hardcore fan",
"experimental".

Has anyone heard of these little CDs??

SATAY FAR FAR AWAY!
Those v/vm HELP cds are garbage. not on WARP and definetly
not aphex. theyre remixes by one or more persons that are
terrible. DONT BUY THEM! instead, go back to where you saw
them and tell the guy to stop lying to his customers!

Are you sure were talking about the same things tho. One of
the ones I saw had the I care because you do painting. It
was printed in yellow and no other colours used.

God damn I am really dissapointed thought I found something
cool there.

100% sure. all the 3 inch cds are on v/vm records. i m not
sure exactly who remixed the tracks but they suck balls. ask
anyone here. its utter shit man.
try their website, or look on ebay, always trying to get
passed off as the real deal. its a shame really.
sorry.

Yeah, I've got the blue and red ones "We don't give a
shit..." and "...Because you don't give a fuck",
respectivley.

They are by v/Vdm a label that just rips off and fucks up
music. All their stuff is like it. None of the tracks on
them are as good as the originals, I didn't know there were
4 though...

I dunno . . I think they're pretty good for a laugh. The
third version should be out here soon; supposedly combines
parts of the first two and throws in a couple of new mixes.

Granted, for entertainment value I can't see anyone but
Aphex fans getting anything out of them, but since I am a
fan they're interesting little novelties. And congrats to
V/VM for the not inconsiderable feat of making "Ventolin"
even harder to listen to than the original.

I saw them in Sisterray, Soho.
Not Aphex definately, despite the aphex-sounding titles

PS scary bear, do you live in Basingstoke? don't let those
bloody HMV staff bullshit you! They wouldn't know Aphex from
5ive!
I lived in Hartley Wintney for 20 years


 

MF from here to be on 2001-11-26 23:05 [#00055844]



I'm from basingstoke I heard they had something like that in
Virgin too, so what is it then?


 

Korben Dallas from _ on 2001-11-27 00:16 [#00055877]



Yeah .. I saw a cupla of them in Melbourne the down town HMV
last year some time ..

didn't buy them ..

Ceri JC: I might be wrong about the number of them I was
only inthe shop a while mate and they were all in great big
transparent boxes. I was travelling towards the fattest
shottie session of my life, which lasted approx 4 days, I
went for 2. My memory got put in a frying pan, tossed,
fried, scrambled, thrown against a wall, stamped on, and
then put back in my head all messed up. So I can't say I
remember anything concrete from around then. Can you tell
all those like myself (who will probably never pick these
things up) what they sound like?

Thankyou.

If you like, email me your email address and I'll get in
contact then put them up on morpheus for you to download.

They sound a bit like very chaotic (no constant BPM) early
aphex twin stuff. They are remixes (if the can be called
that) of his better know stuff and singles. They are all
plays on the word of the original eg.

WinduckyQuaker = Windowlicker

Come to big daddy vs giant haystacks =
come to daddy

Hoe-gardden slop itch = Logon rock Witch.

Quite amusing in a RDJ impish kinda way.

The music isn't very good though. Hard to listen to, but
unlike drukqs, it doesn't get easier over time.
