Aphex Twin 8211 Windowlicker LP

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.
