Since then his confidence was shattered and he retreated back to his vault to compose music on his old analogue gear while crying into his cider. hehehehe Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/47547-windowlicker-the-end-of-an-era/page/2/#findComment-1090740 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone's mind short-circuits the obvious and immediately leaps to deep artistic interpretations like yours You flatter me sir. I've simply encountered the word druck knowing some germans, and noted how similar it was to the album title in question. Also the cover gave me an initial impression of some printing device though upon closer inspection it's probably the inside of a piano. Not much of a leap at all really. I'm surprised at your apparent resistance to the possibility. http://www.dict.cc/german-english/Druck.html Edited July 27, 2009 by tv_party Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/47547-windowlicker-the-end-of-an-era/page/2/#findComment-1091086 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Dylan Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 nobody gives a fuck about the connection to an album title that, if you exchange a few letters, will change meaning and become something that other people might go "omg it's drugs! it can't be seirous".

Guest SRMG Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Sorry I'm not going to read the rest of the thread apart from the first few posts.. I have and never will be a fan of Windowlicker - Aphex at his lowest point IMO and probably the reason he has not really gone back to mainstream. In all honesty does anyone really give two fucks about music videos these days?
