Aphex Twin - Windowlicker



The boy was poorly this morning and his Mum had already left for the office. There was no other choice but for me to stay home and look after him. My tosspot of a boss won't let me work from home so I've been kicking back all day, looking after the boy and having some all too rare me-time. The boy is fine, if a bit spaced out. I've just opened a bottle, so I'm also entering the zone of the spaced-out. Chin Chin.

Anyway, this. Still sounds absolutely wonderful doesn't it. This is Richard's finest moment as far as I'm concerned. The sheer odd inventiveness. The way that something so cold and alien can sound so emotional and warm. Where are you Richard? We need some more shizz in an AFX stylee.

Windowlicker.

Wonderfuul to hear this again. I've yet to get around to ripping my own copy. It hasn't aged a day, alas the same cannot be said for the listener!

This (genuinely) is another track I had under consideration for use in my aerobics class. Someday I WILL choreograph the whole thing and get a hall full of middle-aged women dancing to it in unison. It's my "beyond the impossible" challenge for the future. You absolutely do NOT get that at Zumba!
