Release Date: June 9th 2008
Label: DFA / EMI
When listening to this track, it's pretty simple to see the ethos behind it - plain and simple funky dance music. It is quite easy to imagine the surroundings where this might be played, most likely at the end of a night in a hot sweaty club as one of the tracks in the "comedown brigade". It's not too complicated either, with only three basic components: Nomi’s singing, Antony (from Antony And The Johnsons fame) and his strange backup vocals, and the uncomplicated synths.
Although, the melodies are quite nice to listen to, they get repetitive incredibly quickly; which is a shame as they seem to overpower Nomi’s wonderful vocals. Antony’s backing is quite strange as it sticks out like a regular Joe at a rehab centre. All in all, the straightforward tune does exactly as it intended, it produces wildly hypnotic synths that just can’t help the listener to want to hop straight down to the dance floor.
