What a brilliant piece of audio/visual work. I've been captivated by Cunningham's work ever since I bought his Director's Label DVD when I was a teen. He knows how to capture a certain darkness that permeates all of our lives.

we need more from chris cunningham. I NEED MORE from chris cunningham! CHRIS, WHERE'S YOUR FEATURE FILM?!

[@thechojin1134]

Been saying that for 20 years now....

[@JamiieMadrox]

Me to :(

[@RadekLoquendo]

I guess he's busy being a dad...

[@ArtFluids]

I saw this video originally like 10 years ago and I first saw Windowlicker like 10 years before that. So that's 20 solid years of me waiting patiently for a Cunningham movie.

[@gabrielcastro4345]

Just watch Hannibal, the series, a piece of art, seriously, such a underrated series.

[@johanvanhuyssteen9217]

Chris is still the Highest Priest of 90s visuals.

[@RodTejada502]

This whole album is a masterpiece. Long live Gil Scott-Heron. The visuals by Chris Cunningham just elevate it even further!

[@EnigmaticUnseen]

The ambience and visuals are what truly strike me.

[@1dotcomdotnet]

Nicely put.

[@orphanoforbit7588]

Is that not what is supposed to strike everyone?

[@itstoxicrick9605]

This is too underrated

[@x-ulescu]

Haven't seen something this powerfull in a while.

[@jijiartgzd]

2:40 THE best moment when the background voices and other sounds come up!

[@TheBearsta]

I hear ya... 4:36 onward for me

[@Kesss]

Finally a better quality! After 7 years...
I wish there also was a two side screens that was in original video, as separate videos at least. Oh well.

[@windowzombie]

Two side screens? Do you have a link?

[@jeroenbronger7327]

If our pc has 2 video connectors (is where the monitor cable goes in), you can use 2 separate screens (in Windows)

[@windowzombie]

@@jeroenbronger7327 Op is saying that this video is actually 3 different videos played simultaneously, but this is only the middle video.

[@domting8973]

there's the 3 screens version somewhere on vimeo

[@AdrianRowbotham]

Saw that live at the Roundhouse in Camden, it was amazing

[@STUNRICK]

Feels like a David Lynch movie intro (yes, I'm looking at you, Lost Highway!)

[@chrisfisher7288]

Genius pure genius.....

now more than ever ...............rest in power brother gil

[@chr0mat1q16]

Fantastic!

[@Jenbyboy]

I wish this was a movie

[@phantommagnolia]

Best videoclip ever

[@Chpimpas]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Bassquake76]

So cool the visuals match the music...literally. Chris Cunninghams such a visual genius. Watch his collabs with Aphex Twin and Bjork!!

[@shorok9333]

darkest blues/work song i've ever heard

[@hugoparrilla2959]

Después de varios visionados a lo largo de los años, me sigue hipnotizando como el primer día. Menuda obra de arte en todos los aspectos.

[@danielpayne500]

Classic

[@merlinerdogmus194]

I like the Jamie XX version, I like the Chris Cunningham Remix and I sure as hell need to check out the album. I'm usually not into soul and that stuff, but that sound cuts deep man!

[@merlinerdogmus194]

Wow. I just listened to the album when I got a like because of my comment one week ago. Discogs says this is soul, but it is definitly not. Very interesting use of electronica and nice little stories. So far Gil sounds fresh. All under the hood of XL Records. I knew that label only for Prodigy and early 90s rave releases.

[@siliconsoulman]

NYC is a dark place

[@LambentOrt]

Amazing

[@ko83na]

wow, just fucking amazing

[@Chrotisofus]

Brilliant

[@d_inkz]

spine chilling

[@edmundironside9435]

Reminds me a lot of Billy Blitzer's New York Subway (1905). In fact the music syncs up perfectly...

[@MrKonvictor]

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIK

I feel your music, Touching the soal, Yet groovy, Boogie . music, Yelling for help Is there anyone out there?l shivered , Awesome

I just got it up to '666'. Nice.

that sounds quite a lot like "I against I" sometimes.

You mean the Mos Def and Massive Attack song?

[@arhavel]

it's a better quality video, but the shift at 4:30 is much less powerful with about two minutes of build up being cut out

[@lol-hk5tz]

exactly

[@6lu5ky86]

What is Chris Cunningham doing these days?

[@AAAASMAR]

Probably nothing as
epic as Window Licker

[@T.J]

Pretty sure this used to be a tryptic. Where are the other screens ?

[@billbrasky8525]

It was but XL replaced it with this version for some reason. The version you’re referring to is still on Vimeo.

[@T.J]

@@billbrasky8525 I liked the tryptic a lot
