Well compared to the other Aphex Twin videos I've seen ("On", "Ventolin"), "Donkey Rhubarb" is IMO not very artistic. The "Ventolin" video is my favourite because there's a lot of symbolism in it. The filmed underground pipes symbolise the windpipes of an asthma-sick person and the claustrophobia of the woman trapped in the lift is on the analogy of the feeling an asthma patient probably gets without Ventolin. The squeeking sound throughout the song is the sound of an asthma-sick person breathing... ********************* * Johan Jaatinen * * aniag@info.liu.se * *********************

I know it is realy boring to say how great aphex is but what describes best his videos is the phrase - 'what the fuck?!'.... kinda punkish I think. oh, and if I brought guitars in - The 'archid via james 2' track on HABII reminds me great deal of prog rock with this long analog solo. snow snowjob@actcom.co.il The Morpheus Equation: Start + Middle + End = Sand
