This is brilliant. The opening track, and namesake
of the EP, has that tacky edge that you get with
some of Moby's more commercial pop songs, but with
an overwhelming playfulness and feel-good-factor.
It's jumpy and unless you're bedridden, you'll be
nodding, bopping, tapping, etc. It's quite scary
how Moby-esque this is, but oh so very good.
The second track "Homesick" features
a more electronic and sampled feel. A hard-hitting
beat meets an acoustic guitar and bass; and plays
like a rap backing-track over the vocal which
unlike rap, features melody and, works amazingly
well, as the backing transforms momentarily to
a grimey distorted riff, or a nostalgic radio
news style breakdown.
The third and final (proper) track, "Slave
To The Rhythm," isn't quite what the first
tracks are. It's a bit airy-fairy and misses the
male vocal quality of the previous songs –
but it isn't unbearable. It's verging on MGMT
but with a real drum beat as opposed to an electric
one.
Then we have two remixes of the title-track. The
first, a mighty nine-minute Mungolian Jet Set
Remix doesn't have anything to report, but the
Marshmallow Mike Remix is something to call your
Mum about. It has done to Glitches N' Bugs, what
Soulwax did to DJ Shadow's "Six Days;"
the beat has been cranked up and the bassist has
been slipped some acid.
Oh the whole, this is the shit.
4.5/5
