speaking of breakin' records...
I listenned to the new LP of Mandroid "Electro Freak REhab Clinic"
(Breakin') and it was very entertaining. The 3rd track on side A is just
like an old Egyptian Lover track I just heard (just found On The Nile for
50 cents! ). It had that low-voice braggadoccio (sp?) sort of jive over a
electro beat, but the Mandroid one sounds European moreso.
The "Battle" track is really energetic and focused, and while this record
is just screamingly RETRO electro, it is still very entertaining and
pop-like about it (at least to me, but I'm not jaded about that old stuff)
"Jammin' on my Old Piano" is a good tune also. So who are _these_ people?
With the 303 melodic (verse-chorus) programming on here, I wonder if there
isn't some Rebirth-type software used for this record, as the programming
would be a pain in the ass (using song mode on the 303, blah!).
The cover is a crack-up; looking at all the different spasmodic aliens and
closet electro-addict-dj bustin their moves uncontrollably as the Rehab
Clinic thugs herd them into the institution. I've always liked that
deceptively-crappy drawing style...
