After Johnny Foreigner, I just can't take Hot Chip's remix of Envelopes with anything but a barrel of salt & a stiff drink. It's not a bad re-jig of 'Life On The Beach', there's some charming synth lines on here but the beat is a bit too toytown tech house for me, the Einar Orn-isms of the barking lyrics grate against the trendy mullet club pulse of the beat and it sounds like there may be exactly 9 people on the dancefloor to this anywhere at any given time. Oh & it does smell of rent-a-remix, take the cash cynicism rather than anything imbued with love or passion. The T. Bailey mix of Free Jazz is just shit i'm afraid. Annoying and stumbling, made by some gimp who may just have bought a few shit party bangers on 12" from a dodgy man in a sheepskin jacket, observed some staggering replicants dance to one of his "rinsing" dj sets & come to the conclusion he is the DJ God, the blissful future of electrohousebaz. 10" limited shagtastic wax on (less than) BrilleLimited edition 10” single featuring remixes by Hot Chip and T. Bailey. Follows the acclaimed album ‘Here Comes the Wind’ (***** Sunday Times Album of the Week).
Coincides with headline European tour including dates in London, Manchester, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Wakefield and culminating at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton.
