Aphex Twin - Windowlicker
Quite unlike anything else he's ever done, Windowlicker is perhaps the most accessible and dancefloor-friendly track Richard D James has ever created. A simple, gurgling riff paired with childishly sung vocals and thrown over straight-up 4/4 beats, groaning and developing, the bizarre sonics straining to burst through the shackles of form and expectation. 'Formula' provides unexpected blasts of sound, lengthy breaks, explosive aspirates - it seems to escape and transcend this very plane of existence. 'Nannou' is a chilling lullaby, minor-key themes that evoke thoughts of traditional melodies while percussion seemingly made out of household trappings ground it in the everyday. - Side 1 -1 Windowlicker 6:06 - Side 2 -1 ∆Mᵢ⁻¹=−Α ∑ Dᵢ[Η][ ∑ FJᵢ[Η−1]+Fextᵢ [Η⁻¹]] 5:432 Nannou 4:04
