Aphex Twin: Windowlicker (1999 Music Video)
10/10
One of the great music videos
10 February 2002
Eccentric Techno artist Aphex Twin has again collaborated with director Chris Cunningham to produce the music video for Aphex's Windowlicker single. The video clocks in at just over 10 and-a-half minutes, and is a parody of glitzy rap/hip hop videos with its use of limos, champagne, bikini-clad women, and gold chains. Two "homies" cruise around LA looking to hook up, but Richard D. James (the aphex twin himself) upstages them with his super- stretch limo and Michael Jackson-like dance moves. Cunningham uses a similar technique utilized in his other Aphex Twin video, "Come to Daddy", superimposing Richard's sinister grin onto the faces of various women in the video. It makes for some bizarre imagery. This video is seldom seen on television but is available on VHS. If you're an Aphex fan, you'll love it.
