original speed it sounds dreadful

'Windowlicker' and 'My Red Hot Car' sound like pop songs
from 2014.

windowlicker sounds like a typical crap song that you'd hear
on MTV.

but that's the point.. so it's brilliant in that way.

i still can't listen to that track. because it's so crappy.

equation sucks BTW... and nonnou it's a good one..

so the EP it pretty crappy only one song worth and not worth
the price.

windowlicker is so repetitive and annoying... it's like an
oasis song... with so many cheesy stuff on it that listening
to it becomes irritating. you only like it beacuse it
aphex.

I like it because it's a creative and well done joke... i
don't like listening to it tho'.

Repetitive you got to be joking? This is probably my
favorite song ever. Only becuase I don't think I have
listened to a song as much as it and not lost one bit of
love for it. It's fucking brilliant.

Nothing on MTV sounds like windowlicker. Just say you don't
like it and stop giving bullshit reasons.

Points: 6617 Status: Addict



Hey, but it is so: windowlicker is a kind of a destilate of
90s pop/dance culture/sound, chewed, digested, regurgitated
and somehow ransomed in the process. He takes all the
worn-out cliches and all the micro-history and conceptual
baggage that they have and just turns it into something pure
after all. This track proved to me he was no 1 after all. It
also solidified his position as a re-action artist (started
with Come to daddy), taking inspitration from existing art
rather than from non-art. Drukqs was a welcome step-back,
but not that successful...

Windowlicker is absolutely incredible. When I first heard
it, I swore that it was the best song EVER. I just couldn't
imagine music getting any more brilliant and beautiful than
that!!

I also used to think it was very sad, somehow a very tragic
song, until I saw the video. Then whenever I listen to the
song I think of the video to it and I just crack up and it's
impossible to think of it as anything but comical.

Yah and also I think the other two songs on the Windowlicker
EP are also great. . . I don't dislike either.


 

offline Deathsmith from Brussels (Belgium) on 2002-06-22 03:35 [#00279781]
Points: 1027 Status: Regular



And Windowlicker never reminded me of anything remotely like
Oasis or Britney Spears, for god sakes!!! It never made me
think of the stuff on MTV. . . it's just a one of a kind
song.

in your opinion man... I think it's a fabulous song... and
not just because it was done by RDJ...

Oasis? You shot your own foot here.

And don't tell me why I like something. There are many aphex
tracks I don't like. So your wrong.

there's a version of windowlicker with sort of scratching
noises on. it's at the end of the video on the credits.

i agree w/ funk - windowlicker is the perfect idm pop song
imo - it's got glitches and wierd voices and it's often
changing. like the distortion bit at the end. and its catchy
like pop music.
