Aphex Twin - Une Femme N'est Pas Un Homme

A very fun song from Richard, Aka The Aphex Twin, AKA AFX, AKA... well you get the idea. This song comes in particular from the album 26 Remixes For Cash, and well, as Aphex Twin legend has it, you can never really hear the original song in the remixes. Aphex Twin is resoundingly known for submitting remixes that are actually original pieces as his own little joke to the world of music. That being the case I do rather like this one much.



Here's the original song for comparison, by The Beatniks (You can hear some parts of the remix in it, but truthfully, it seems more like a completely different song that happened to hit the same chords.)



The entire Aphex Twin album is nice to listen to. Remixes of Titanic songs and an interesting take on David Bowie's song Heroes. But all in all the album is just what it's entitled 26 Remixes Made to make a bit of Cash. Though, as stated before, the work here is phenomenal enough to really be considered post-modern new material rather than remixes. But check it out.
