ferro4prez Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 A delicious soup of brilliance and oddity. David Bowie & Philip Glass - Heroes (Aphex Twin Remix) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zazen Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Yeah its brilliant. When you compare it to the Philip Glass version of Heroes you realise that the Glass version was instrumental and RDJ had essenatially taken the vocals and added them back to the chopped up Glass-like arpeggios. The story goes that he only had 4 hours in which to do this remix ... A farcical chain of events ended up with Richard given only four hours to rejig Phillip Glass and David Bowie's 'Heroes' symphony ....(via http://www.nme.com/reviews/aphex-twin/7062#6VylvuOxmykdF6mT.99) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TZsW99Vw_U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeAreOceans Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 26 Mixes For Cash is massively underrated. I wouldn't say so but I might be bias in reading more comments from more enthusiastic AFX fans. Great tune, anyway. Lovely version of the song.

Soloman Tump Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 ^ Wow didn't know that. I'm glad he stuck the vocals back in. Probably my favourite track off 26mfc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWW Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Anyone know what the "farcical chain of events" were ? RDJ had to retrieve the vocals from an armed secure bank vault in a secret location under a mountain in Switzerland. He only had four hours to complete this. Luckily his tank can fly. What a hero. But then, we all can be heroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
