Crystal Castles: 'Air War' (Trouble Records) This is what I expected from Cazals version of that Spandau Ballet tune. Electro squiggles, bouncing bassline and one finger synth melody. Best thing about this release is the sleeve, a couple with their heads replaced by great dollops of ice cream...umm, ice cream I like. This is like some sort of gameboy pop the kids call nu (g)rave. This is just the right side of weird for me to even consider whether it's worthy of my judgement. Judgement: all right suppose. 7" only!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
