Shabax Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I'm quite surprised Watmm didn't even mention this..."thing" and that no blood was shed on that subject yet. https://soundcloud.com/maceoplex/aphex-twin-polynomial-c-maceo dear haters, this is not a remix, it's an edit, and the intention is to make it possible for a dj to play Aphex's beautiful classic in a modern techno set. Yeah because a track with a breakbeat in the same time signature is SO hard to incorporate in a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Jan Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Yeah, a friend showed this to me yesterday evening, asking what I thought of this "remix" by his fave DJ at the moment. I told him it's not worth being called a remix and it is absolutely horrible. Funny to see the DJ has now changed the title into 'edit' instead of 'remix'. Dipshit.

QBLA Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 just posted about this... then saw your post and I deleted mine... I don't like this version... but to be fair, I don't like the original either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goDel Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 the original is godlike. and this version....whatever. i'll download it anyway just for novelty. just another excuse to listen to the original, i guess. .... god these beats get boring really fast...

Schlitze Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 It's pedestrian. It is to remixes (or re-edits) what Tim Burton's Planet Of The Apes is to re-imaginings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patternoverlap Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 So basically because the guy is a hack DJ he had to hack down a brilliant track to fit into his hack sets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane Visitor Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 um this is horrible. he should have at least done something a little bit more engaging if he's gonna showcase a melody from the twin. wtf. really, a modern day cookie cutter techno groove (actually its more like 2008ish anyway ha) looped over and over?

Soloman Tump Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Well I dunno, its not that bad. Would go down quite well in the right environment (big dark nightclub at 5am for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chassis Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Sounds like a deadmau5 beat on top of the track. I don't understand how the original isn't "possible to DJ in a modern techno set". Doesn't have to a have a monotonous uninspired beat to make it "modern". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Dylan Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 The arpeggios are just too damn slow. You can't do that shit to the Polynomial-C arpeggios man. They gotta be at the original tempo, that's the point of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuatxuk Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 It's not horrendous but it seems so pointless. I always took edits as ways to stretch out, repeat, or enhance build-ups and climaxes. This does the complete opposite. The best parts are literally denied from occurring. Instead we get a slick but generic 4/4 beat. If Polynomial-C is passionate sex IRL this is literally a half-hearted wank over overproduced HD porn.

manmower Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Nice example of the state of "modern techno" as he himself puts it. Everything has an unnecessary remix with a flabby beat these days, what's the point, to make everything sound exactly the same?2001: 2013 'Upgraded' version:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry5YLG94j1Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest boo Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 maceo plex / maetrik isn't a hack. he's got a p cool minimal futuristic aesthetic (suck it). smoking a cigar in a space helmet kind of vibes.. and yeah this edit fits in to that better than the original. although i remember years ago there was a dance floor version of windowlicker that disgusted me for similar reasons to those posted in this thread. however, that was released on vinyl for moneys and i'm pretty sure it had no distinctive sound at all and was more pointless.
