Featuring - Booka Shade, Floating Points, Kyle Hall, Prins Thomas, The Canal Party, Lovechild: Loveball, Shlomo and more…
Aphex Twin - Windowlicker.
Video directed by Chris Cunningham.
Stick with the video through the first 4 minutes - it is meant as a parody and its well worth the wait. This is the full 10 minute version.
Over 10 years old now, I think, and still makes me grin.
Oh, by the way… Definitely NSFW… especially the first 4 minutes…
This is a rather tasty collection of Lusine’s early releases for Ghostly International.
Some really lovely stuff on here. Click the link or the image to visit the Ghostly site for a listen.

It doesn’t matter how you feel inside, you know. It’s what shows up on the outside that counts. Take all your bad feelings and push them down, all the way down past your knees, until you’re almost walking on them. And then you’ll fit in, and you’ll be invited to parties, and boys will like you. And happiness will follow.
