Friday's Forgotten classic(s) - 30th July 2010

Another friday another classic, well two actually.  I was listening to an old chill out compilation i had made years ago and was thinking about which tracks i would add now.  These two tracks were the clear front runners......

the first was released in 1999 and made it to number 16 in the UK charts, but for me 'Windowlicker' by Aphex Twin is an absolute classic.  The smooth, distorted vocals blend perfectly with the laid back beats to give it a really chilled out feel!!  The video is a freaky masterpiece, where a parody of US gangsta rap videos turns weird as the main character is joined by women who's faces morph into his....  A classic though!!

Windowlicker - Aphex Twin

the second tune is a wonderful chillout masterpiece which never got the recognition it deserved.  'Fallen' by dance music DJ-come-producer Cut la Roc.  This track was one of two he produced with Gary Lightbody (of Snow Patrol fame) back in the year 2000.  Have a listen, i hope you love it as much as i do...
