Windowlicker by Aphex Twin | Reaction | Aggtown Media

[@SugarcatPlays]

Aphex Twin is timeless. Dude is untouchable, still is. He was doing stuff that should have been impossible 20 years ago

[@MikeDest]

Crazy thing is it’s from 1999

[@oldskoolordie]

Nah other techno producers were as good and did stuff much earlier.

[@biancachristie]

Aphex Twin is also HUGE in the hip hop commuity. Kanye wears an iced-out Aphex Twin symbol around his neck (I think it's a necklace)--look it up--and I know a lot of the younger guys like Travis Scott are super into his work too. He has been in the game since the 90s, and he has done all kinds of stuff, but if you really want to hear the albums that producers usually cite as being their favorites, go to Selected Ambient Works I & II. And if either of you make bears or want to learn how, they're essential, because they'll teach you how to really put some atmosphere, texture, and emotions other than just happy/sad stuff into your music. Yeah, he's a weirdo, but he does stuff to provoke you, not to offend you. Glad you guys liked the video! I've been with him since the jump, and I love seeing younger folks (I'm 52) get into him. And yeah, someone else said watch Come to Daddy--you should definitely see that one. Chris Cunningham, the director of this video, did some good work with some other dance music artists, like Bjork and Squarepusher that are amazing. Just look him up (and Spike Jonze and MIchel Gondry, too) on KZbin if you want some *great* reaction videos. Cheers!!!

kanye also sampled avril 14th on blame game

[@riskybiscutz]

@@joemama-iw4le *tried to steal Avril 14th. Aphex offered to just recut the sample for them originally and K’s camp said “wE wRoTe ThIs NoT yOu”

[@sud0208]

@@riskybiscutz yup, what Ye and his team did was fucked up. It turned into a great track, but the disrespect they served to Aphex was disgusting. On brand for Ye tho....

80s. He's been making tunes since the mid 80's.

You can tell the dude in orange digs this. It's such an iconic video and song.

[@TheDyingPlant]

showing your friend one of your favourite videos and having to stop yourself from gassing it up too much because they aren't vibing the same as you did vibes. Aphex a living legend.

[@beckylange5138]

I’m so old I remember when this was released. It’s still my favorite video, after all this time & technology advancement

[@hoggers7572]

Heck I remember when this was released and your comment made me realise I'm old too..one of the greatest music videos killer track as well

[@edwarddawson7849]

I'm also in this boat.

[@Skaffabranca]

That time seems like such a cool period to me, a person that was born a few years after this song came out in 99'. What was it like compared to nowadays?

[@osmanpatel544]

@@Skaffabranca fucking amazing. I was 17 when this came out. The 90s were immense.

[@Skaffabranca]

@@osmanpatel544 but like, how, compared to now. What was so different

[@junctionfilms6348]

Aphex Twin is taking the piss out of the culture shown in the video . . . it is a joke, a parody, a satire, theatre. He is always joking with the audience.

[@truthfilter]

i remember seeing this on MTV around 1999 or 2000 it was my last year of high school i would sit in the morning hoping that it would be played before i had to go to school it changed my whole outlook on music to this day and for some reason maybe the style of the video it is always associated with GTA San Andreas in my mind

7:45 bro said 'Like deadmau5' and his buddy just died inside 😂

[@aboutthisproduct7674]

It's one of my favorite songs! I mean it is a top 20 Avant Garde masterpiece made on an Apple computer.

[@pg_usa]

This is one of my personal favorite tracks from Aphex Twin. They're in a different universe about music so when I hear a track it inspires me.

[@kienfung3045]

[@danielmarshall4587]

"turns into a horror movie" AMEN to that, all the love from the UK. Off the top of my head it's mid to late 90's great vid thank you Gentlemen.

[@MrKingjing]

Legend aphex twin legend they are and will always be 🙏🏽🎴✨

[@carbon1479]

I'd say the guys who lead the way for techno were Richie Hawtin / Plastikman and Carl Cox (of course - among others). I think of Aphex Twin the way I think of Flying Lotus (and yeah - if you've seen Kuso or some of Fly-Lo's videos the metaphor extends) where they're just lone geniuses doing what they want to do and sort of breaking electronic genres.

[@pyrojeff5360]

Classic video. Came out in 99 I think. You guys should check out a song called The Pot by Tool. You'd dig that. Another classic 90s jam

[@aggtownmedia9844]

Thanks Jeff! Yeah I couldn't really recall of the top of my head but just threw out a ballpark. We will definitely be checking out the Tool video! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@aggtownmedia9844]

That moment any music wise street credit you had suddenly evaporates when you admit you've never heard of Aphex Twin, have you been hiding on the moon, obviously not because theres Aphex twin fans up there too lol.

Saw this when I was like 9 or 10 and it fucked me up in the best way. Still one of my top 10a. Listen to " APhex Twin - Selected Ambient works" track 1.Dont sleep on this genius. Also, if you have a pair of balls, listen to Come To Daddy.

[@jamesbowen9347]

agreed; there would be no deadmaus without Aphex Twin

[@aboutthisproduct7674]

Please do not compare them.

[@Renna2004]

@@aboutthisproduct7674 i mean they both do electronic music and by deadmau5 origins i feel like he has a huge inspiration on boards of canada (he did some covers) but when you really think about that you figure out that techno and acid have a lot to do whit modern edm and the other sub genders like dubstep. Its a non conventional sound after all. I think that even ambient has to do alot whit now days electronic music.

Watch it without talking next time! And it’s a parody of 90’s rap videos, bragging about “b’s and ho’s” and rappers don’t care what the woman’s face looks like, just the booty lol

Good to see you listening to it but litteraly talking over the whole lot without any gaps. Quite a frustrating experience 😂

[@aggtownmedia9844]

Thanks for your input, Justin. I'm glad you were able to laugh even though this was a frustrating experience for you. The idea here was that viewers had already seen this video and would be more interested in the response from the reactors. Our approach here was not to stop the video due to the video already being quite long. It was a calculated decision to reduce viewer fatigue. It's unfortunate we did not arrive at the same outcome but it's what we did. If you haven't seen the original I highly recommend it. It's available here on KZbin without the added input of two guys creating pretty decent content for a fledgling channel. Take it easy! 🤘🏾
