This three-track EP has three different mixes of one song – yes, that's right pop-pickers – it's called "The Seus". The first has some discordant sounds that are very like the ones used in Gary Numan's "Are 'Friends' Electric". It's a bit funky, a bit rocky, and a bit surreal too – and for some reason makes me think of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" too.
Then it's time for full-on frugging, the 'you'd-better-dance-or-you'll-never-get-through-the-night' mix – the Infadel's remix. Yes, it's full-on dance mayhem here – party-till-dawn, you know, the stuff your twelve year-old niece or nephew will be listening to while you put your feet up to the Archers. And the third mix – 'The Matt Tong Bloc Party' mix – just be grateful it's not called the 'Pete Tong' mix, or we could be in trouble. Yes, it's more sampled sounds, bleepy-bloopy looped bits, sounds that could come from a Fisher Price toy from Mothercare. 'I am the greatest' gets repeated over and over, until you're so brainwashed that you've really no doubt about it and the affirmation turns you into an over-confident, arrogant mobile phone salesman. You can dance if you want to, but do you really want the social consequences if you do it to this? |
