M.I.A.
Galang

A Norman Records recommendation (30th November 2006)

This record left our Brian feeling ecstatic.

Blessed relief comes in the form of a tune I've been waiting a year for. Some smug bastard @ Fact magazine*  cleverly stated "If you don't own 'Galang' by M.I.A. already, you're either a fool or have been in prison for the last year thus unable to get down your local record shop" Well, TWAT, It's been completely impossible to get hold of since the limited initial run sold out before last Crimbo, no-one knew who was distributing it & Radio 1 caned it without it having a general release. There's nothing worse than that cooler-than-thou slack journalism & as you can tell from this spot of spleen venting, I've been desperate for a copy for ages. We don't all get the privilege of advance promos you know! Back to the music, here we have a slinky, sassy & infectious slice of dancehall -electro-garage joy co-written with one Fat Trucker, one member of Pulp & a certain Miss Frischmann from Elastica. This lass is a far more important proposition for XL than the likes of Wylie as far as taking multi cultural  & urban blends & making them sexy, vibrant, innovative & most of all FUN. Single of the week, if not month.
