In 2000, Windowlicker was nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Video Windowlicker consists of James voice modulated on computer, mixed with his trademark breakbeat snare rushes, drum samples, and mixed choir-like singing, resulting in a smooth yet erratic song with the last minute of the track escalating into an extremely distorted wall of bass. Also included is a sample of James French then-girlfriend speaking in her native language saying Jaime faire des croquettes au chien (translating to I like to make dog nuggets). vinylrecords.ca/aphex-twin-windowlicker-abstract-electro-experimental-3trk-p-12522.html
