Come To Daddy is one of the creepiest and one of the most amazing videos from Aphex. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redbull.com\/gb-en\/aphex-twin-come-to-daddy-5-facts\">RedBull<\/a>, the video that was directed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0192260\/\">Chris Cunningham<\/a> relies more on prosthetics than actual video effects.

The video tells a weird story of three human-sized bears who instead of toy faces have probably the most known picture of Aphex Twin\u2019s face. The replica of these teddy bears is obviously not human-sized but if you want something to cuddle these cold winter nights a teddy or three might be a nice choice for you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Aphex Twin - Donkey Rhubarb (Official Music Video) 1080p HD\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9_-99eBBhFc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>\u201cOn\u201d beach towel<\/strong> inspired by an ambient track from Aphex third EP (On EP 1993) and video.

It is named after a trade name for the drug Salbutamol, a medication that is used to treat asthma. One of the side effects of this drug is tinnitus, which clearly was the inspiration for the high-pitched sounds in the track.

The video was directed by Chris Cunningham and there is no reason to explain or analyse it. Read what Cunningham himself said about the video and watch it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThat\u2019s not the primary reason but it had a big bearing on it. When Richard did this track that sounded summery and sunny, I thought, \u2018F**k. We should do it in LA in that\u00a0style\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Windowlicker\u00a0was me trying to make a more commercial video for Aphex. The last half of the video sounded really pornographic. It made me think about girls\u2019s arses. So I thought okay, that\u2019s definitely how the video\u2019s got to end and the first half of the video sounded like driving round in the\u00a0sun.\u201d -Chris Cunningham<\/p>\n<p>[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UBS4Gi1y_nc]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The prices of the limited items range from \u00a315 to \u00a345<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-26860 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-large'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/thevoiceoflondon\/img_0788\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/thevoiceoflondon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2018\/11\/IMG_0788-e1543077554904-1-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-27036\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/thevoiceoflondon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2018\/11\/IMG_0788-e1543077554904-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/thevoiceoflondon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2018\/11\/IMG_0788-e1543077554904-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/thevoiceoflondon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2018\/11\/IMG_0788-e1543077554904-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/thevoiceoflondon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2018\/11\/IMG_0788-e1543077554904-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/thevoiceoflondon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2018\/11\/IMG_0788-e1543077554904-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-27036'>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cCome To Daddy\u201d baby grow.
