Yep, you're probably right. Shall I do a review of "I wanna be a hippy"?
mmm. maybe not!
Housefly is a great track indeed. That and LFOs "We are back" were exciting
times at WARP, after the initial slew of bass'n'beeps, they put out these
Amphetamine-rush noisy techno tracks - Oh boy! They're not fast by today's
standards but they still sound wicked! Check out the early John and Julie (also
GTO) material on XL - "Circles" especially is very similar to Housefly with
lots of big fat crunchy noises and enough excitement to wake any latent raver.
Of course Greg's official WARP website contains full discog info about all
Tricky Disco releases on WARP,
(

and anyone who wants more info about what GTO hav released in all their guises
should ask that man Christopher Miller - his discog is incredibly detailed, if
unfortunately lacking some recent info (he'd be the first to admit, right?)
(evil@digital.ddi.net)
And finally, not forgetting that Lee Newman, one half of the GTO combo, sadly
died last year. Her contributions to the hard techno world will be sadly
missed. Michael Wells is continuing the good work, and the swansong LP
"Headsex" is available now.
Technohead is Dead.
Long Live Technohead!
