...according to our Brian on 11 September 2008.

Fuck Buttons need no introduction. Their album played with me in really intriguing ways and finally it made sense what Black Dice had been attempting for years much to my annoyance as I can't find Black Dice vinyl now for love nor money! I can, however, buy the new Fuck Buttons 12" even though 'Colours Move' is a key track on the album. If you cannae be arsed with that, try Andy Weatherall's entertaining but somehow pointless remix of 'Sweet Love For Planet Earth'. If he'd have played this at the Beat Herder festival in the middle of some trees on Saturday night the other month, I'd probably have pooped myself but on yr home system it just leaves you wanting the original. He's put an understated slow paced technoid beat under to make it a bit groovier for the kids whilst retaining the shuddering majesty of the original. It really sounds like he was so terrified of ruining such a remarkable piece of music he copped out rather than tearing it to shreds and slaying every dancefloor in the land. Well, Primal Scream weren't so precious eh Andrew? Still it makes for a cool diversion but it still sounds like Alter Ego did it in their sleep as it's hardly any different bar the clip-clop beat. The artwork is stunning though .....worth the price alone!!!!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

"Like Listening to Fripp and Eno in 1973 through a pair of massive speakers that have been slashed with a carving knife" (Andrew Weatherall)
*  New single from one of 2008’s most hotly tipped new bands, complete with Andrew Weatherall remix!.
*  Fuck Buttons was conceived by Andrew Hung & Benjamin John Power in the winter of 2004. With their electric live performances sealing the notion that the two Fuck Buttons are attempting some kind of transcendence between the listener and the Universe itself, one could easily envisage one’s psyches being shaken by the very rumbles of the earth’s motions.

March 2008 saw the release of their debut album Street Horrrsing, which received widespread acclaim from publications as diverse as NME (8/10), Pitchfork (Best New Music, 8.6), Kerrang (4/5), Uncut (4/5), Mojo (4/5),
Stereogum (8/10), The Wire, Time Out and many more on a worldwide basis.

This year so far the band have gone from strength to strength touring extensively in the UK and US and at numerous festivals including ATP vs Pitchfork, Summer Sundae, Primavera Sound, Green Man, Lowlands, Roskilde, Supersonic and Pukkelpop.

They are about to embark on a tour supporting Mogwai in the UK and US, and play headlining shows in Japan.

Sweet Love for Planet Earth appears here mixed by Andrew Weatherall who perhaps first came to prominence through his remixes of The Happy Mondays, New Order, My Bloody Valentine and Primal Scream in the early 1990s. Andrew is a highly respected DJ and record producer, (examples of his production can be found on Primal Scream Screamadelica and Beth Orton’s Trailer Park), and also a self proclaimed Fuck Buttons Fan!
