I Have A Force
It's Friday, and it's time for some dance floor cheez. This is the best kind -- pounding bass, whirling synths, noodling blips and bleeps and some pompous, Rush-like vocals. This remix has everything to get your day going.
So, The Music have been trying to break stateside for quite some time now. I don't think they've been doing that well, but I think a lot of Americans can currently only be bothered to handle one or two British groups at a time. It's no one's fault. Blame Coldplay if you want, or The Bends.
Anyway, the real star here is Stuart Price, also known as Jaques Lu Cont, Zoot Woman, Les Rhythm Digitales and, of course, the Thin White Duke. He takes a solid single and transforms into a living, breathing, dancefloor pounder. I especially love the second half, which breaks down into this Peter Gabriel/Janes Addiction/Jungle Rhythm breakdown. It's excellent, and sounds far better than my description. But don't get me wrong, this is spreadable, gooey dance cheez, fresh out of the can.
The single is going to be import only for us in the states. You can grab a pricey copy from Amazon. But maybe you should make friends with a Brit and have them mail it to you. Also, you can pick up the album, Welcome to the North from our friends at Insound.
