hmm... i though windowlicker would have sounded right at home as another remix of come to daddy. he's been doing the fucked up vocal thing since RDJ (or girl/boy ep, if you prefer, but that really *was* singing), and this seemed to be an extension of that to me. as far as accessibility, i don't think it's any more or less accessible than a lot of his other stuff. it's just that now he has more of a name, and it's being pushed by sire. i think girl/boy song is way more accessible than windowlicker (i always imagine what it would sound like for a marching band arrangement - there's potential there, especially when the xylophones kick in. and it would give those kids something to do with those quad and trip drums), but that was back in '96, and maybe sire didn't need the money as badly. either way, i think it's pretty nifty. i'm just interested in what a whole album's worth of material is going to sound like. alan!
