Straight Outta Mongolia go for the pieces with beats and brevity and I'm feeling pretty smugly CLEVER right now cos to my luggers this music is v v v v similar to Like A Tim - that feeling that here is someone who is not quite in complete control of the dancey machinery - brilliantly sloppy and imperfect - god, there's even some singing on it.

This is crazy. Really! All the songs seem fucked in the most disturbing way, and it's great. It starts off sounding quite nice mydonna2 has a nice sunny guitar/organ tune played over a hip hop style beat and fat bass line, there just seems to be that sense that something is a little bit wrong, like those early episodes of twin peaks. Boom boom boom sounds like an electronic joy division (but nothing like new order.) to start off with and then starts bringing in the nasty whining high pitched noises before breaking into a sample (I presume) of a nursery rhyme that I can't remember the name of played on acoustic guitar and string quartet and back again. A Casio keyboard comes in with the funky drummer beat on out of tune while a load of keyboard chat amongst them. Baby drove a spaceship (2) is the most fucking spasticated pop classic you'll hear ever. Double tracked vocals off key from themselves, the main refrain played on toy piano and a broken gordon the gopher squeaky puppet all of which are completely out of sync with each other, a sad tale of interplanetary longing, making this the 'calling occupants of interplanetary craft' of the 21st century. Llpp also sounds like it should be played on a spaceship, it's got that epic sense of motion that was always on the soundtrack to those space movies that were made in the 70s but you saw on t.v. on a Saturday afternoon sometime in the mid 80s when you were just a little nipper. That's if those things had been recorded from a broken little computer onto a four track. Lumbago is really sinister, all the more for the innocuous sounding vocal 'what is that lipstick you're wearing it's the colour of slugs' the time signature changes, the oompah like riff (possibly lifted from henry's cat?) and the evil sounding church organ swells make this creepy.
