Binkbeats Performs a Very Unusual Cover of Aphex Twin’s “Windowlicker”
Now this isn’t just your standard cover track, that’s not how Binkbeats works. Hailing from the Netherlands he covers electronic artists like Amon Tobin and Flying Lotus with the performance all achieved in one long take. This cover of Aphex Twin’s “Windowlicker” is unmistakably the same song, but it’s also a little different too.
For one, Aphex probably didn’t use a xylophone in the original version, but Binkbeats does and he makes it sound super awesome too.
