Aphex Twin is known for his quick, breakbeat filled songs. It hasn't always been this way, though. After stinting as a DJ and producing acid techno, his first album was a landmark album in "intelligent dance music," and his second full-length was a venture into the minimalist world of ambient. For his next release, the Come to Daddy EP, he returned to his speedy techno and strange effects with songs that were just as creepy as they were dance-able. The title track, Windowlicker opens with a slow pulsing type of voice, and leads into a drum beat that Richard is so good at. In the following few seconds, there's a lot going on. Things jut about, and enter and leave just as fast.

An extension of its satiric predecessor, "Windowlicker" focuses on eerie lounge-porn music (with a video to match) instead of the thrashcore of "Come to Daddy. Later Aphex trademarks like hyper-breakbeat drum programs and heavily tweaked voices are in full effect, though the cloying melody could make longtime fans run for the toilet (or fall off the couch laughing). Of the two unpronounceable B-sides, one includes more breakbeat thrash, while the other looks back to Selected Ambient Works territory with a toybox melody that's only potentially disturbing.
