Aphex official Ventolin Video

I almost completely forget this existed.

Why has this almost been consigned to the dustbin or was this up on the Warp site at one time?

Yes, it's official - the only place you can get it is on the Japanese Come To Viddy (which I have). Richard and WARP hate this video with a passion - I personally like it quite a bit.

wow cool. thanks for the link!

i wonder why afx hates this video.. it's like being inside david lynch's brain while he's on acid and having an asthma attack..

What's the cat on this VHS, I can't find it anywhere on Discogs ?

Yeah I've seen this before. Pretty cool I always thought. Never thought much for the song though (no offence anyone who loves it). Might be quite good but the high-pitched pain ALL the way through just fucks with my head.

i've tried to submit stuff there before, it's such a pain in the ass!

rad music vid, can somebody dig up the statement RDJ/Warp made please?

Personally I don't really care for the video, but the track is fantastic! I loved playing it when I went from class to class on my old school making presentations on Afx. The reason why I don't like it is that the video shows so much potential when it starts out. Like iep said some of it looks like something by David Lynch, and I definitely agree on that. The woman in the elevator looks like the Mystery Man from Lost Highway, but then all of a sudden there are footage of airconditioners and all sorts of pipes etc. and lots of this footage loos so amateur-like.

i dont much care for the song or the video...both are obscenely repetitious

NTSC VHS. WPVR-88 / 4943674008834 WARNER MUSIC VISION JAPAN/WARP RECORDS LTD.

This release (the Japanese Come To Viddy VHS) is also the ONLY place that WARP officially acknowledges that GAK is Richard's work (the inside liner of the cassette case has all of Richard's releases, and GAK is there).

Rough Trade released this as well

t'is a good tune, I remember the video being ok, not Cunningham's level but still a nice video...

Probably the worst Aphex video, but that speaks more for the quality of the other ones than against it by itself.

Yeah, it's also no where near the level of On either, which is beautiful IMO, and that probably lacked the budget of Cunningham's vids and even Donkey Rhubarb. Granted, Jarvic Cocker directed On.

I agree though, it's alright, definitely appropriate and the right mood for the track. The problem, as mentioned with the David Lynch comparions, is that the Ventolin vid is just unorginal. It could easily be a video for any 80s EBM single.

Link to the Video please!

friend i worked with hated it cause i guess he was dropping acid and that song came on.

take it or leave imo. it is quite noisy though/

I always like the track. Painful but at the same time refreshing, like it's rinsing your brain out a little bit.

That video though... what exactly is it trying to say? These vents are like your respiratory system and this is all very sinister! WhOAOAOA!

it's supposed to create a feeling of claustrophobia

I fucking LOVE this track. LOVE IT.

Destroyed the speakers on an '89 Grand Marquis with this.

i love every remix of the track too

praze an beeble for it's sheer odd, discordant nature. the laughter at the end scared the living daylights outta me when i first heard it

marazanvose for it's excellent funkiness

plain an gwarry, i love the way it kinda sounds like cow cud

crowsmengegus has a great contrast between typical dark ventolin-like atmosphere and an infectious melody

deep gong cause luke vibert is fucking awesome

asthma beats is cute

and of course WHEEZE

i like the cylob remix the best out of the remixes

Indeed and the orginal is lovely too but that video was kind of boring..
