Windowlicker ending

Though I've been an Aphex Twin fan for a few years now
(Fingerbib is an all time fav of mine), I just recently
heard "Windowlicker" and cannot get over how amazing the
last minute or so is. I just love the so called "distorted
guitar noise" ending and am wondering if there are any
remixes out there that extend that part of the song for a
good 3-4 minutes. I've downloaded quite a few of the
versions mentioned in other windowlicker topics but so far
have not found the holy grail, if there even is such a
thing. Any help appreciated and I'm happy to have finally
discovered the Aphex Twin online community.

the best part of that track is 4:40-4:50, right as it
transitions from that wicked reverbed vocal to the guitar
fuzz.. you see the limo drifting over a hill on the
horizon.. it's like a perfect audiovisual moment.

i like those thump/thump sounds when the guitar riffs are
going on towards the end/climax/playthrough

theyre tucked a bit back but are pretty good. prodominate in
the movie 'grandma's boy'.

a bit more than the actual song. anyone else notice that?

I like the whole first half better than the guitarish
sounds.

When the disto kicks in, it just makes the track. It's
great.

2:30-2:38 is the best imo, when the limo goes over the
horizon!

He said at the time it was his one attempt at making the
perfect pop song.

Somehow related but if you check check check out the
Xltronic LFO mix set from 30.11.05 at about 50 minutes in
there's a nice bit of mixing that features Windowlicker and
the distorted bit and it sounds good sped up and mixed and
what not. WHETHER that would do anything for your desire for
a longer version I don't know, the only thing I could
suggest would be to go round ELusive's house and let him
play 3 seconds of it on a loop and watch in horror as his
chest caves in under the bass, again.

I like the breakdown where they are dancing on the beach -
one of the best melodies RDJ's ever done.
