More 7" action then from VOLUNTEER with 'Sweet Love'. It's impossible not to think of David Bowie when you hear the vocal on here. It's not bad actually there are some decent sytnth sounds and a metallic breakbeat. On the flip.'Hero In Waiting' which begins like a P.I.L lite with it's bassline then evolves into quite a dark, brooding track with some high pitched synths and almost gothic vocal. Phil reckons they sound like Colder. I'll have to take his word for it.'Final Hour' is like a more electronic / electro pop Sisters Of Mercy. I like to imagine goths with flowing black mullets at this point. Numbered clear vinyl on Projector Records.Limited to 500 clear vinyl copies in hand-numbered gatefold sleeve, ‘Sweet Love’ is the latest call for action from London quartet Volunteer, who have been attracting a lot of the right kind of attention recently. Mixing noisy keyboards, angular guitars, driving basslines and clattering drums into a hard electro sound, Volunteer make music for dancefloor philosophers, a brooding slant on lo-fi synth-pop-rock like Visage, Tubeway Army or Human League dragged through the dirt and left messed up in the gutter outside the club. ‘Sweet Love’ was recently included on Planet Clique’s ‘Robobpop – The Return’ compilation, and appears here in radically remixed form alongside live favourites ‘Hero In Waiting’ and ‘Final Hour’. DMC Update – “Volunteer prove that electro is capable of substance”… Mark Moore - “Volunteer possess overtones of Cabaret Voltaire and Joy Diivision. We love it.”
