    Excuse me, I am a music critic. I am afraid your opinions are totally muted and discredited because you don't understand anything about the processes involved in critiquing music. Not that I give a shit about you, having the gall to criticize the critics; probably while sitting, crumb strewn, in a cheap, sweat-inoculated office chair.

    he leaves out the part where the original changes the feeling to shuffle from straight and then back again and into another shuffle part. which i think is okay, because it would mean do record several loops at first if you don't have a drummer backing you. BUT in the main theme he is out of tune and it's awful. hurts my ears. Still very impressive. and great. Btw, my brain had this tune on repeat today, like: wake up- windowlicker running in my head. going to uni - windowlicker at uni - windowlicker! four hour shift as a cashier - windowlicker all over my brain! all my colleagues were like: "paul, you're in such a good mood today!" Hell yes, I am!

    Insane! The fact that somebody, or anybody, would choose to cover Aphex Twin says it all. More so with a deviant (and obscure) track like ‘Windowlicker’, whose unorthodox beats and borderline-perverse rhythms are disturbingly catchy as they are complex - to even fathom, let alone master and reproduce. Any dude that does, and does succeed (like this dude), is an effin’ genius! Much respect on your choice of music, and hats off to you for nailing what I consider to be a flawless cover! 🙌🏼👏🏼🦻🏼🔊

The only thing that sopped the shivers down my back was the missing spectrographic spiral thing right at the end. It was in the album version i guess. Tbh, I can't even imagine, how you could pull this off with an acoustic instrument, not even with simple effects. But still, it would have made it a solid 12/10.
