flatworm-cdr-the usual very nice ffr packaging (& the sleeve picture
is exceptionally beautiful this time) /synthetic pop is pop music made
with a synthesizer, ain?t it ?that?s what this record?s all about: the
ultimate evidence synthpop isn?t a genre devoted to recycled gothasses
dressed in shiny greased latex & metal-plated platform boots who
wear welding-glasses and scream they?re gonna kill themselves every
three words. ?baby drove a spaceship? som says, i say baby?s playing
a great record in her spaceship?s stereo if she?s playing this one.

STRAIGHT OUTTA MONGOLIA - THE REDUNDANCY OF SAYING SORRY (CDR by Fencing
Flatworm Recordings)
Fencing Flatworm Recordings have quite a nice catalog of underground
music and each release comes with a nice full colour cover. Straight
Outta Mongolia is mainly a vocal act (and have previous releases on
labels such as Mothmoth before) who gets his beats and synths from Random
Number on five tracks and one by Fluxorgy here. It's not something I
can enjoy very much, I must admit. Crude and raw popmusic, or the residue
thereof. Maybe I'm just getting a boring old guy. I can imagine that
in a live concert this much nicer.
