Aphex Twin Video Question
 

Simon from Brampton, Ontario, Canada on 2001-07-26 00:03 [#00017845]



hey, i know this is probably common knowledge to all of you
hardcore fans, but i am just a rookie in the aphex twin
world
a quick question, does anyone know what song is being
sampled in the beginning of the Window Licker video?
it's the one that the black guy puts in the car stereo about
1 min. into it
if anyone could lemme know that'd be much appreciated
take care
-simon

It's just a remix of Windowlicker. With Rich scratching over
the bass to the song. But you can't get a full length
version of it anywhere.

thanks!
that makes sense
take it easy

Did Simon believe you or was he being sarcastic?

i also have some questions about windowlicker. once there is
a female voice heard, saying something (at 2.43 - in
french?)... what does she say?

& yesterday i listened to windowlicker and then to
radiohead's kid a... has anyone noticed that one voice in
windowlicker sounds very much like thom yorke's in
idioteque? (windowlicker 1.58, 2.09, idioteque 3.19). it
almost sounds if aphex would take the piss out of
radiohead's kid a... but, well, windowlicker came first.
kid a and idioteque (and treefinger) are very much like
aphex twin... it almost sounds like an influence/imitation -
any comments? i also have another clue that this is right.
margaret fiedler of Laika said in an interview that thom
yorke (she is befriended to him) listened to warp albums,
and was very much influenced by those albums in doing kid a
(and amnesiac)... don't get me wrong, i like kid a, but
before i had listened to it, i read a whole bunch of reviews
of kid a, that it's so new and experimental, but while
listening to it, i found it like a tame version of aphex
twin, and not very experimental or new at all...

and by the way, laika's good looking blues is great, check
it out!

The melody for ideoteque is f'kin amazing. I always thought
it was a little Twinish...but I thought that was just the
reason that I liked it, not that there was any imitation, or
even influence on either Radioheads or RDJ's part. I was
never really into radiohead but an old girlfriend of mine
was like: you're going to love this song, and played my
ideoteque and I was really impressed. The only thing was I
didn't care to much about the vocals...but thats how I
always am, I would have been perfectly happy listening to
different variations on that beat for 4 minutes. But I'm
usually that way, I guess that's why im so into IDM...

Also, that one minute of RDJ scratching over the
Windowlicker baseline is awesome! I LOVE the way that
sounds, I'm going to sample that and loop it just to play on
a site or something. I just can't not close my eyes and bob
my head up and down as I hear it. Does anyone else like
this as much as I do?

}{4N47º5 [Xanatos]: Yes I agree with you. I believe that,
that song you are talking about is damn sweet, I myself own
all his videos on VHS and they are great. Windowlicker is so
strange, and that song is awsome, what about the one at the
end, when the credits roll? You ever seen that, its just as
good as the one your talking about, seriously.

>;D


 

walt from europe on 2001-07-26 10:52 [#00017922]



yeah, idioteque is great, but i also don't care that much
for thom yorke's vocals. i guess i also like it because it's
aphex-like. who is singing the vocals in windowlicker? aphex
himself like in come to daddy?

listening to kid a always makes me think of aphex'
mysterious uncredited songs, and also that radiohead and
thom yorke could be an invention of aphex twin... (come to
daddy, kid a!) and part of the richard d. james'
conspiracy... well, just kiddin'...


 

H3XAN3 from Melbourne on 2001-07-26 14:09 [#00017955]



i believe the little 'intro' part to windowlicker - with the
scratching and so forth - was done by luke vibert. that's
what i heard. anyone?


 

Kenchie from A secure unit on 2001-07-26 19:48 [#00017983]



J'aime faire les croquettes pour chien
= I love making food for the dog


 

walt from europe on 2001-07-26 21:07 [#00017987]



thank you, kenchie, for the text... now as you write it, i
can here it. thanks, again!


 

radiowerkshop from canada on 2001-07-27 00:46 [#00018017]



the scratching is done by luke vibert
and that entire remixd itself is done by him if i remember
correctly


 

thanksomuch from over there on 2001-07-27 01:03 [#00018020]



kenchie: is that right? the dog bit? weird, but then again,
maybe not....


 

=|R3FL3X|= from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-07-27 01:55 [#00018032]



Yeah it is.. its in French. Thast exactly what the voice
says In windowlicker.

The scratching part? I thought that was just AFX, I doubt it
was Luke Vibert.


 

H3XAN3 on 2001-07-27 14:24 [#00018138]



nah REFLEX, think aboot it - aphex has never had scratchin'
in any of his songs. its a lot more of a luke vibert thing
(he's on ninjatune, hint hint). apparently he did do it -
luke and rich are mates from cornwall


 

=|R3FL3X|= from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-07-27 19:31 [#00018230]



YeaH I know about him and AFX all too well. It makes sense,
but Id only believe it if I saw it written somewhere
credible. I dunno.... it sounds like it could be true.


 

Dirty Priest from Denmark on 2001-07-27 20:41 [#00018238]



This is getting trainspotter like, but i belive Richard does
scratch, because, the guy who released his first lp, said
that he (richard) was only exited about it because he could
then scratch his own music. and thats a fact.

so yeah i think its him (Richard).


 

=|R3FL3X|= from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-07-27 20:45 [#00018240]



Oh... I wonder if anyone can actually find out who did that
for real?


 

ohin on 2001-07-27 23:12 [#00018257]



the french voice is saying, j'aime faire des croquettes aux
chien
translation: i love to make dog nuggets.
i'm french by the way, so i'm pretty sure that's what the
voice is saying.


 

Butterlicker on 2001-10-17 05:37 [#00042510]



does anyone know the name of the song?

Sorry to dig up old topics and that, but I just thought it
would spare on making a new one.....

Can someone upload this VERY tiny mp3 of the start of the
vid? i ahven't heard it and from what I've read it sounds
rather good. Just somewhere temporary, geocities or
something, so I can hear it?

Or go to the "visuals" section of this site and watch the
whole video streamed including the lush intro scratch bit.

I think you can get this on the japenese version of WL....
it's called Widowlicker (End Roll version)....It should be
on Soulseek (can't check myself at moment)...

I'm pretty sure it was done by Luke Vibert...I think AFX or
CC said about it in an interview around WL release time....

It's wicked anyway...great little track...soooo needs a
longer version...
