Review by Apeman Jan 27, 2009

referencing Flat Beat, 12", F 104, 137.0104.30

THIS is the beginning of "Fidget House"!

Firstly, this is the record that started the Fidget House trend (People like Herve, Crookers, Micky Slim), as it has wonky basslines, heavy minimalism, and the overall quirkiness of it all (but M-Seq released a year beforehand is quite possibly the first fidget track ever made, though).

Secondly, this is one heck of a classic stomper, and at least 8 years ahead of it's time! The video featuring that imfamous Flat Eric is priceless, plus his other lesser known works are just as fun and good as well.

Worth the purchase, and will still work on the dancefloor in 2009!

Sadly this release doesn't contain the full version of "Flat Beat", this version being more than a minute short. The 'MPJ Remix' is a cheesy tour de force and I find it hard to believe that it is done by Mr. Oizo himself (so I guess it ain’t…?). If you like the “Isak Original” of Benny Benassi's "Satisfaction" then you'll probably like A2 too. Also B1 is a cheesy ride.
Both B1 and B2 are theme variations of "Flat Beat" and the later is a rather cool funky breakbeat track, excellent for a breaksky floor.
It’s kinda hard to like this strange package…

Since when has simplicity become a bad thing? Analog Wormz Attack is a brilliant album! Oizo may not me breaking new ground, but this album is full of dirty, funk-filled head-nodders. Listen to this album three times, and I guarantee you'll be hooked.

This sound like a somebody with very little musical talent trying to eek out a little bit of electronic music on the assumption that it takes no effort. It too repetitive
