||||||||
|

||||||||
|

|
|
it sucks ... i have both, there are 2 mini cd's. and it sucks .... just aphex tracks who are pitched and oversteered, routed through some filters and effects ... |
||||||||
|

It's remixes of the better known Aphex Twin tracks by the "remix artist" V/Vm. 2 Guys who do unlicensed remixes of lots of popular tracks as well as lesser known ones like Aphex. My favourite release by them would have to be The Caretaker (their ambient alias) - A Stairway to the Stars. A very good re-working of lots of old ballroom and choral pieces. A bit like SAW 2 but largely vocal. their website. |

Ha ha ha, look at their . Read the bit at the bottom of the page. I can't imagine the look on the face of the unsuspecting fan of the crankies when they play this for the first time! |

mm. just listened to some excerpts from "A stairway to the stars" and it did not sound very impressive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sadly the 2 best tracks, "emptiness" and "friends pas reunited" aren't on there. Plus the audio quality of those extracts is rubbish... |
||||||||
|

thats what they all say! :P |

Stairway to the Stars is nice. Spooky but mellow. |
||||||||
|
|

man, if i see that website i can imagine how crappy that music must be :) btw qrter who's that in your avatar? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Most of their music is just "silly" remixes, lots of FX and filters run over classic songs etc. but A Stairway to the Stars is good. As for their website... well, Rephlex don't exactly have a nice looking one ;) |

I checked out V/VM´s 12" containing their "remixes" of Bruce Springsteen, Paul Young and Tiffany (or what her name is..?). One word: RUBBISH!!! ...and NOT in the good sense of the word. |
||||||||

In your opinion. Where the originals not cheesy shit pop rubbish that a monkey with a pen stuck up his ass could write? And the remixes sound horrible? So there is no difference then. }:> You can listen to the shit original or the shit remix. I admire v/vm and they certainly have their place. |
||||||||
|

Yes, to be fair the only things the remixed that didn't deserve it were the AT ones and also the Joy Division one. Like Spikee says, the originals of those suck, at least the remixes are funny. |
||||||||
|

Oh Aphex deserved it. He went silent for ages after Windowlicker but on the other claw he was prolly thinking 'Fuck! I'm getting too popular, lay low lay low.' Or even releasing albums under another name, or just having some chill time. Like, What do I know? :/ Your kung-fu style is extraordinarily unconventional Richard D James. *steps back, pose, tailswish, feministic glare* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, I bet he did a load of trance/hard house music under a diffenent alias during his lull between windowlicker and Drukqs ;) |
||||||||

*grins* You never know. |

thats a very unflattering photo of a friend of mine.. :P I'll probably switch back to my "regular avatar" soon. this is good for now though. |

ah ok i was already 'zoeking for your snor' couldn't find it tho |

I can confirm Ceri's statement about "Stairway to the Stars". It's totally different from the rubbish typical V/vm glitchcore. It's reprocessed ballroom music from the 30's and 40's. I also agree with Ceri (again thanx for that CD!!!! :D) about the two best tracks emptiness and friends past re-united. Only that track Home should've been left out :( I might rip some MP3's from that CD and upload/share them for the curious among you. Spooky, dark, cold and scary but beautiful music! |

I havent heard much V/VM... I was turn off by the Help Aphex Twin stuff that was put out. And reading that site Ceri posted, I see they came to Melbourne in Oct 2002.... Now time to wonder what I have missed! |
||||||||

I saw them before xmas. When they play live they always do their V/vm djing/covers. I've never heard of them doing a tour under their caretaker alias. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ceri - any V/VM recommendations I should take a look at? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How was V/Vm Ceri???? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't bother with V/vm unless you're looking for something to annoy the neighbours with or you want a laugh- none of their stuff is going to get classic status. Go for a stairway to the stars by their caretaker alias. eXX: |
