WHY VENTOLIN?
 

Quadrapelegicrobotikev from mp3.com/quadrapelegicrobotik on 2001-11-26 21:20 [#00055801]



Is this track living only to annoy listeners?

Personally I dig the beats, but despise the wrest of the
song. Not to mention the loud frequency noise which streams
across the track?
Isn't that noise, the sound heard when one overdoses on
asthma medication?

Who likes this song? and why?
Who hates this song? and why?

I really wanna know.
I think this song destroys the overall flow of I CARE
BECAUSE YOU DO; which is one awesome beautiful album by the
way.

i love ventolin. it has the right noises for me. it's
obnoxious as hell to others too.

same here..luv it..but then again I first got into aphex for
all the noisy and banging bits and assimilated his gentler
side as I went along...the remixes are fantastic (both his
and the guests...especially dig CYLOBS' version)...but then
again my own background is from pure clanging
Industrial..(not to be confused with Industrial rock)

Ventolin is alright... it's my least favorite track on
ICBYD, which is my fav APhex Twin album... It's decent, but
I usually skip over it, because just like you said, it does
ruin the feeling of the music up to that point...

thats the thing though,
i really dig afx's metallic banging drum work...it is too
sweet, its like that stage show STOMP on acid.

Its fucking insane

Ventolin is almost like an unfinished video, in the video
the woman is locked within the elevator and can't get out
due to a problem with the fan overhead the elevator. The
problem is traced back to the source which is a a steam pipe
and then random images of steam pipes are shown. Later the
woman begins to panic and you see her reach for her purse,
unable to find her 'Ventolin'. As the doors remain closed at
the end, this represents her inability to escape and
inevitable death.

i've only seen clips of the vid

i love ventolin, but i think the wheeze mix is better



 

Sand Lepus from Louisville, KY on 2001-11-27 04:51 [#00055945]



I like it 'cause it makes me feel like I'm going mad.

And am I right in thinking that all of the "percussion" is a
distortion of the high pitched noise? It goes away whenever
something "hits."

At first I didn't care to much for the track. And I had the
track name mixed up with Icct hedal. But now i love it not
only because i enjoy the track but because i know that i am
one of a select group of people who know aphex twin and
enjoy it.

Ilike ventolin!

AND i like that hi freq. Its cool!

How does Ventolin disrupt the overall flow of ...I Care
Because You Do? It is only really as noisy as Icct Hedral,
Come On You Slags and Start As You Mean To Go On. Anyway,
compared to some of the things he has written, it is
reasonably tuneful. Now the Caustic Window stuff, or the
first song on Analogue Bubblebath 4 - that you can complain
about...


 

tom from toms shack on 2001-11-27 13:57 [#00056066]



i skip through alot of the album, cause i think its too
long. wax the nips is fucking annoying as well...and come on
you slags only has a certain amount of charm for the first
couple of minutes-start as you mean to go on is
smart-reminds me of 73 yips...but the album is kinda patchy.
love the ventolin remix though...

I love Ventolin! it´s so angry

ventolin sounds the way it does for a reason. there is a
story behind it. richard has mild asthma

ive heard richard wrote the song supposably after having an
asthma attack and then overdosing on ventolin.
overdosing on ventolin is no fun. you see shit like flashing
lights and shadows that aren't there. you also hear high
pitch sqeals. richard was reproducing the experience as a
song.
its supposed to sound clostrophobic.


 

Aktium from bat country on 2001-11-27 18:01 [#00056156]



he didn't have an ahsma attack, he just made the song to
feel like your having one. he should make more songs that
are like other attacks, hell make a whole album.


 

Contour Regard from an asylum on 2001-11-27 18:12 [#00056159]



i personally don't have a liking of the song. i just can't
get past the annoying shreik, but the remixes are amazing.

Aktium: see ventolin ep
