What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Mr Productino feeling happy.

Now Kill The Young with 'We Are the Birds and the Bees...' on Art Goes Pop. Sex Schon remix the opener with a swaggering dance tune with New order beats. The original version of the song is in a 70's tinged Marc Bolan , Pop Levi style hand clapper. Quite a cool hook re-appears as a whistle in the break down which is a nice juxtaposition to the distorted guitars. South Central remix on t'other side is a fast beat, foot to the floor dance tune with the occasional spaz out moment.

What the label says:

A feast of jigsaw styled dirtily treated fuzzy scuzzy riffs sourced directly from Deep Purple taking a mid 70’s vacation at CBGB’s who find themselves realised and re-arranged by the Flamin Groovies with an impish Motors twiddling about with the underside of the mixing desk. This honey is cut with a frenzied dance floor mentality and braided with chorus hooks that sound for all the world like the cavalry coming over the hill. Spanking and thunderous it swaggers, sneers and soars with acute ambition - an unholy shakedown cut through with a pristinely peerless power pop matrix that in the hands of lesser bands would be a cash register cue for a fashionable t-shirt cottage industry. And did we mention the inclusion of whistling - can it really get any better - nuff said our kid. So f*cking cool I bet they wear shades and only come out at night.
South Central stripping the original to its core components bolster it up with a sensual undercurrent and a thick throbbing clockwork grind that spells spontaneous combustion if played on repeat listens while blessing it with a quiet middle section that comes across like a rollercoaster stuttering to a momentary pause as it teeters on the cusp of its first descent. Well tasty. The Sex Schon mix on the other hand with its spacey textures and drilled futuro robo landscapes is a seismic psychotronic dirty little thing that has you imagining what if a jumpsuit and stardust adorned ‘I love you’ era Yello had been trying out for Kenny Everett side kicks Hot Gossip with the Primals doing the choreography.

About the humble 12":

The 12" is the big brother of records as it's an fatter version of the 7", with a vast scope for an array of remixes and B sides. They are slightly less portable their smaller inched brethren but they're by no means inferior. Often the grooves are spaced wider apart and thus sound much much better. You can fit ample tracks on and if worse comes to worse they make fine plates (should your crockery go awol). Yes, there's a hole but holes are easy to sort out. Once again they're available on many different colours and guises. The best thing about a 12" is the potential vastness of the artwork. Also playable on many speeds!!
