Compassion Crew
Masters Of The Gentlemanly Art
Major Problems
Acts Of Madmen. Kings Of Agreppo. Airplane Crashers. New New Beat roots, authentic like that Phoreski 12 on Redux from a couple of years back. Kinetic, unruly, noisy. Demons rattling hells bells.
Panic Chicago add the sound of metal under stress, skyscrapers crying an alien roar, and a beat poem almost out of earshot. Then Peaking Lights` Aaron Coyes and old partner Nate Archer, together as Leisure Connection, put a robotic spring in its step, and push the track into a mad instrumental rendition of the chorus from Tom Tom Club`s “Wordy Rappinghood”.
"Ran sumsumsa ran sumsum,
Hootycooty hootycooty ran sumsum,
Hi kye yay yippie yi kye yay,
Awoo awoo ayee kie chi"
Synth stabs replacing Tina Weymouth`s overstanding. Vibes swap for those bells, and cut up ethnic chanting makes for a morphing, evolving, circling, spinning, raindance.
Released on Barry Redsetta`s Major Problems, with art, and a video on the way, from Simon Landrein, you can check clips over here.
