Rating: ecstatic This record left Thom feeling ecstatic.

krautrock at its finest. The B side is the special number - clanging drums, dark, dark dark. The lyrics remind me of the sarcasm of The fall or morrissey. I can't wait to catch these fella's live, most exciting new thing i have heard in a very long term. The tide is changing and its good.

Love this record, bought it today after listening to it numerous time on the myspace page, its truly remarkable lets hope its the start of something good, because lets face it there are only a handful of bands producing anything decent at the moment and factory floor are one of them. a stunning debut during a depressing era in music. Looking forward to whatever they do next.

Great record - just checked and yes the singer hales from the north, the other two members are from London. The best thing about the record is that they have not copped out and given a half ditched b side. its brilliant! 2 great songs for the price of one. I agree with Thom, certainly new scene emerging and its krautrock making all the noise, lets hope they don't slip away and we hear more from them.

The Lead singer is northern but they are London based- so no fake northern accents as suggested. I think its a fantastic record.

Rating: happy This record left our Phil feeling happy.

Here's a debut 7" by Factory Floor who've clearly heard of Joy Division. In fact it sounds so much like Joy Division it's uncanny. It's called 'Bipolar' which in case you didn't know is a condition affecting polar bears which makes them bisexual.... It's not global warming killing the polar bears... it's the bipolar thing... they don't know which polar bears to 'make sandwiches with'. Fortunately this isn't affecting the seals as they have no problems knowing which side of the bread is buttered. Here's a dark gothy chugging post punk influenced tune which sounds like it was made around that time. It's done rather well and Ant has just chuntered up that it sounds a bit like Artery in places. I think this is rather good. Well done boys.

What the label says:

As abrasively dark as artrock gets at the moment. Clanking and clanging rhythms recall the industrialisms of Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire but the droning repetition is a distinctly Germanic groove of Can and Neu. With searing guitars and rumbling bass the most obvious new wave relations are PiL, Wire and Gang of Four but in fact the experimental workouts of Londoners This Heat are more accurate. More angry than XX Teens (but sporting similar Mark E. Smith tendencies), and more primeval than These New Puritans, perhaps FF are part of the spearhead of a new dark-rock.(Artrocker.com) Factory Floor plays violent, serene and electronic experimental music but not necessarily at the same time. Inspired by the works of Joseph Beuys and Luciana Fontana and as fans of Brian Eno, Philip Glass and Stars of the Lid, they combine this with a love of The Fall, Talking Heads, James Chance, early pioneers Public Image Limited, Cabaret Voltaire and Wire, and the sheets-of-white-noise from Bristol group Flying Saucer Attack. German krautrock is something that’s also very close to the collective group’s heart, perhaps best reflected in the ‘repetitive groove’ of their current single ‘Bipolar’. Orange vinyl!! 500 Copies only!!
