10 in 1 (4)


Here we go again with 10 more tracks getting me through the lockdown. 

Yes, I've had a jab, but the pubs still aren't open in Wales, so it is still lockdown, buddy. 

Anyway, he's a load of old post-punk, rave, and weird stuff.

Force Dimension - Tension (Red Version)

I want to say this is Belgian New Beat or EBM but IDFK. As played on Optimo's NTS show on 23 March. Well intense, well industrial. Getting re-released soon IIRC.

‌Metronomy - The Look (MGMT Remix)

As part of the push for the 10th-anniversary release of The English Riviera, this new wonky AF remix from MGMT has surfaced. It doesn't appear on the repackaged album but it's kinda cool if not a patch on the original IMO.

‌Friendly Fires + The Asphodells - Before Your Eyes

Andrew Weatherall teamed up with Friendly Fires in 2014. Why have I only just learned about this? The result is 8 minutes of chugging, building, spaced out indie-dance-rock bliss. RIP man. 

‌Delroy Edwards - I Love Sloane

Yeah, I got nothing on this. Barely a minute long, I dunno if there's a longer edit, but this super lo-fi instrumental worms its way in. 

‌Grauzone - Eisbaer

Apparently, a cult hit in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in the early 80s, here's some stellar post-punk about a polar bear.

‌Television - Marque Moon

This in no ways feels 10 minutes long. What a song.

‌Raffaella Carrà - Black Cat

Camp AF stompy disco from Italy? Yes mate.

‌Le Tigre - Deceptacon

Man, this takes me right back to uni. As heard on 6 Music before they had to start playing maudlin Blur instrumentals to appease the soul of Prince Philip. Not quite as bad as when they made Judge Jules play Coldplay for the Queen Mother's sins, but close.

‌Global Method - Good Life (Orbital Remix)

Once again I ask, how has it taken me till 2021 to learn that Orbital did a remix of Good Life? I know it's cheesy but I love that flute or pan pipe whatever you get on old rave records.

‌Boards of Canada - Amo Bishop Roden

Creepy weird BOC named after someone at the Waco siege? Yes mate.
