Right. The Nathan Fake I know is miles away from MBV, apart perhaps
from 'The Sky was Pink', which betrays vague Shieldsisms in its
digitised slightly overdriven chord sustains. The rest I've heard
sounds like a variant of tech-house to me, be it ever so slightly off-
kilter. Dunno if 'Outhouse' is on the album, but that 12" track was a
very BoC-sounding warbly synth 'riff' taken for a sort of 'knowing'
bangin' techno outing. Entertaining, but more 'dance' in it than
er... 'intelligence'. I don't think Fake's fake, he's just been touted
by some as something he ain't.
