Just got the compilation "jazz satellites vol.1:electrification" today and
went straight to listen to the tracks by 23 skidoo and the pop group. I do
like "industrial" and stuff by these groups are extremely hard to come
by...and boy am I surprised, the 23 skidoo track sound really similar to
what Red Snapper is doing now!
I've always come across articles that tries to intellectually forge the
link between the 80's industrial/experimental/avant-funk scene to what we
like now...now I'm convinced. Tracks like these would not seem out of
place standing beside jungle, leftfield hip-hop or "intelligent"
techno(black dog etc.) tunes. Some of the good stuff that were produced in
recent times involves people from the 80's scene...Rob Haigh, funki
porcini etc. These are indeed "bad" times to be young and into music!
