Review by Logan-5 Mar 14, 2004
On the contrary to the previous comment, I find the de-evolution of the raw disco tracks into experimental but rhythmic noise collages are central to what draws me into these tracks--- he always brings you back to the groove after a trip through jagged spaces. Add to this the power of non-dancefloor material which is zany, psychedelic and unafraid, and I think you've got a throughly enjoyable discopunk album, a rare enough thing in a singles-oriented genre. And by the way, I've got the XL recordings jointly released 2X12", and there's plenty of stereo separation; the production sounds totally fresh and loud. Maybe the Flesh CD's aren't as well mastered?
Rated 2/5
Review by jonathanchrist Oct 11, 2003
Lots of variety & novelty. Unfortunately, not as much replay value as you'd expect for something so different from the norm. The disco-oriented, vintage-sounding tracks get my attention at first, but further in they "derail" into improvisatory racket. So-so in terms of production - almost everything is mono. A not-entirely-serious album with a bit too much emphasis on gimmickry, but still worth listening to once or twice.
