Mr. Anders Trentemøller has done EVERYTHING WRONG with this remix / regurgitation. What little good there is in this release comes from the original Aphex track; all that Mr.Trentemøllerr has managed to do is to re-edit Windowlicker in the most dull way possible; yes you can clap along to it down at your local supermarket / dancefloor but this is electronica's equivalent of Joe Dolce's "Shaddup-a-your-face". It retains NONE of the original sparkle that made Windowlicker so fresh. 5/5? hahahahaha! ...And the point of side B is what exactly?
Recently I listened to these tracks, and I must say I still prefer the original "Windowlicker". It's got a long intro, but then - finally - it gets going. BOOM! In my opinion, the remixes by R.J. lack this point. They have the intro from the Aphex Windowlicker, but whenever I think "Now, go!" they continue like they started, almost like shallow water. That's boring.
Mr. Anders Trentemøller can do no wrong. Windowlicker has always been an amazing track but it always had its trouble on the dancefloor as well. Anders Trentemøller aka Run Jeremy, has produced a remix (really more of a re-edit than remix) with updated drum programming and subtle slickness that make this clear piece of vinyl easy to mix. The beauty of the original combined with mixability and dancefloor devastation . . . why didn't anyone think of this sooner? Mad props to Anders Trentemøller on this one.
