Description

Minsky Rock Megamix II takes its own fearless journey through the heart of the Fear Fear album on its way, it samples snatches from each of the albums tracks and places them into glimmering new musical surroundings, all pinned to a constant metronomic beat that turns the whole thing inside out to create one streamlined, superheavy whole. Over twentythree cosmic minutes, the track finds the pulse of Fear Fear and follows it onto the dancefloor. Within this new mix, fragments of familiar tracks are twisted out of shape before being reborn with pounding Nu Beat basslines, Blackburn rave stabs and tweaking acid riffs that curl around minimal electro rhythms in a seamless mix. Vocals are taken out of their original context and cut amp pasted into a new stream of consciousness, forming their own manic hallucinations. The result is an utterly mesmerising trip that feels like stumbling across a 21st century Detroit pirate radio station in full joyous flow. Minsky Rock is the brainchild of Working Mens Club frontman Syd MinskySargeant and producer Ross Orton Arctic Monkeys M.I.A.. They previously remixed the bands selftitled debut album.12 vinyl with etching on Side B. Working Men’s Club Vinyl is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £20 +P&P
