Aphex Twin - Ventolin
Despite my ever-growing love for Richard D. James and his assorted musical experiments, i've never liked this song. This song was my first real foray into his music (not counting the 15 billion liminal space tiktoks that use QKThr as the background song or whatever the hell gerbil was doing last year) and I would have much preferred like... any other song of his. Something like Blackbox Life Recorder 21f or Vordhosbn would have been more in line with what I listen to already and songs like Bucephalus Bouncing Ball, a song composed almost entirely with a chopped up sample of a ball falling on a hard surface and bouncing until it stops, is a generally more palatable intro to his style of making music. Comparatively, Ventolin, a song inspired by the tinnitus caused as a side effect of the medicine of the same name, is about what you would expect from that decision.
