'Windowlicker' - Video of the Year, 1999
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windowlicker
"Viewing a spectrogram of Track 2 reveals hidden images that were apparently synthesized as sound
by Aphex Twin for the express purpose of being discovered in this manner. It is perhaps the only
instance of an artist using steganography to embed his own face into his music. A spectrogram of
the first track also reveals a spiral at the end of the song.
Although only 3 tracks long, "Windowlicker" is meant to accompany its promotional music video, a 10
minute long parody of modern rap music videos. In the video, two foul mouthed young men (a Hispanic
and an African American) attempt, unsuccessfully, to pick up two young African American women,
resulting in a ridiculously long limousine crashing into the two men's convertible, and a
"pimped-out" Richard D. James displaying a surreal amount of wealth and power. The video was
directed by Chris Cunningham, who also directed Aphex Twin's infamous 1997 music video, "Come To
Daddy"."
