I'm going to see Conemelt live this Wednesday (only because Alex Knight of
Fat Cat Records is DJ'ing - Weatherall too) as part of Weatheralls
Emmissions tour thats going round the UK, but thats kind of off the point.
However, the Conemelt sound is pretty hard Euro-style techno with a hint of
acid. A friend had an old Conemelt 12" on Sabres and it was just banging
stuff without the Detroit funk - okay but nowt amazing. I think they called
their LP _You Fuckers Fuck!_ which I guess is taken from Hopper in _Blue
Velvet_.
The only comparison to Orbital IMO is that they both have that 'clean'
UK/Euro sound - this is a funk free zone. Otherwise Conemelt are pretty hard.
OnNow: my hangover.
