'Post-Punk, Electro and Leftfield' it says on the back, it also says the word ‘classic’ as well on the subtitle, but I have never heard of hardly any of them. But then I wasn’t paying much attention to the early 80’s post-punk movement, I was learning to draw dragons.
This album is like uneasy listening pop, tunes that have great hooks matched by totally unfamiliarity or weird out riffs and jazzy middle eights. I would file it under obscurity rather then classics, but what the hell do I know?
'Actually Mind Your Own Business' by Delta 5 Might be a rare classic to and one of the highlights. 'Don’t Lose Control' by Material has asking to be sampled robotic voice intro although the track itself will need some serious work to make it work on the dancefloor.
'Seoul Music' by the Yellow Magic Orchestra is one of the cleverer pieces on the album. 'Los Ninos Del Parque' is like something I would write and has restored my faith in my own weird electro ramblings as I woke up this morning thinking they were all crap.
This album is smashing it is one of them that you play to deathly silence in a north London bar thinking that you are totally killing the vibe only discover that when 4am rolls past you have a loyal bunch of fans that have been trying to place every song and come over and ask you keenly what that insane space funk like Crunch Cake was.
'Disco Not Disco' is out now on Strut Records. Click here for more details.
