? I'm pretty sure I've had that Sluta Leta 12" for over a year. I picked
it up slightly after the comp 'Vienna Tone' was released. The comp has
several tracks off Uptight - including a real goody off the abovementioned
'Seven Up' - so I started seeking some more out.
No sign of anything recently off that label though...
I just picked up the latest Sluta Leta effort on Cheap last night - funny
to log on to check my mail and see them mentioned. I really enjoy the way
they tread the line between freaked out sounds, particularly harmonically,
and quite groovy rhythms. I don't find them particularly consistent, but
I'm sure big Mego fans would get into it in a big way.
What I wanted to touch on when I first asked about Pulsinger and the rest
was: are there other people who sound like the more punchy, sometimes more
hiphop influenced, Sluts'n'Strings & 909 material?
I do like a lot of the more jazzy stuff, and the more "experimental"
(soulless? :) stuff, but I want some more funky shit. ;)
