"Ventolin" is a piece of electronic music composed by Cornish musician Richard D James. It is noted for its harsh, abrasive sound. James recorded numerous versions of the piece under his Aphex Twin alias. The piece is named after a trade name for the drug Salbutamol, which is prescribed for the treatment of asthma. A reported side effect of this drug is tinnitus, a high pitched ringing in the ears. James utilized this effect in "Ventolin", incorporating a piercing high-pitched ringing sound throughout the track. The music also incorporates heavily distorted techno beats. The resulting effect has been cited as "one of the harshest singles ever recorded". [] The song is sampled by Vancouver Industrial band Front Line Assembly in the song "Retribution" on their 1999 album Implode. ==Album/video version== The first recording of "Ventolin" (the "Video Version") appeared on a music video produced to accompany the track. The video consists of a woman being trapped in an elevator with other industrial images interspersed. The "Video Version" of the track was released a month later on the 1995 Aphex Twin album ''...I Care Because You Do''. The "Salbutamol Mix" on this EP is an extended version of the "Video Version". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ventolin (EP)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
