Just picked up these 2 little 3" CD's the other day of V/VM's latest
experiment, HelpAphexTwin/1.0 & 2.0. This is V/VM at it's best (if there is
such a thing). You can't really call these tracks remixes. I'd call them
Aphex being fed through a digital food processor along with a dash of beef
and balm which results in a taste that I can't quite put my fingerbib on.
Bouncing brinnington meat + hagballs and henTOLyn goose-fat/rub^scratch/ are
my favorites from 1.0. If you didn't think Come To Daddy was dark enough
the first time, *big Daddy takes care of that one. The last track on 2.0 is
definitely trying to say something regarding RDJ and selling his soul for
money. I don't think it's a bad thing though. And as if Aphex didn't
already have the most creative meaningless song titles, V/VM has now taken
them one step further. Hoegaarden Slop Itch wins the best remixed title in
my opinion. The only disappointment is that the two CDs are sold seperately
at about 20 minutes each and $14 a piece. They easily could have fit this
on one CD that sold for about $14. But for Aphex completists, this is a
must have. And it's the closest thing to an Aphex release in a long time.
But just a warning, this is hard & loud & nasty...and tasty. I'd have to
guess that there aren't a whole lot of copies of this one floating around
(at least not in the US), so keep your eyes peeled. Here's the track
