The first thing that strikes me about the sleeve of Boom Bip's 'Sacchrilege' 12" is that the artwork looks like a Bhat Optics design but done in icing. It looks like a big Skam cake. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. 'Snook Adis' has nods to Kraftwerk with it's electro sound. This is an electrofunk (I'm reminded of Jimmy Edgar) 5 track ep with a slight disco / Moroder influence in 'Coogi Sweater'. And even a techno track. A change of direction for both the artist and label.Pussy pink vinyl on Lex. The press for this claimed it sounded like Model 500. Now that truly is Sacchrilege.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
