Windowlicker

~ Release by Aphex Twin (see all versions of this release, 13 available)

Annotation

"Windowlicker" is probably the most well known Aphex Twin track, due to the controversial Chris Cunningham video.
Track 2 is sometimes referred to with the short-hand "Formula" or "Equation", but the title listed is as close as possible to the graphic that appears on the sleeve.
This track was largely created with Metasynth, a piece of software that allows users to create music from digital images. Playing the CD through a spectrographic analyser reveals a picture of Richard James at around 5.27 into the track. (See Wired for more info.)
