The power ov love

Chromatics - Nite (demo version)

How did music began?

After the quality that is the Chromatics tour CD available from Troubleman Unlimited we were wondering what would come next from the further recordings in Glass Candy’s studio.

The answer blew our mind.

Traditional song structure and chorus are yet again thrown out the window in one pulsating ever-growing exquisite tune. Nite comes on with a slow confidant and elegant sexy strut. The half dreamed lyric falls like a glittering rain onto the ear hypnotically welcoming the listener into the Chromatics semi conscious world of questions, yearning and dancing.

This bizarre Chris and Cosey proto dance visits a lo-fi vision of Warp electronica through cosmic disco then hits home with the most exquisite gothic moments of euphoria (We are claming the word Euphoria back - we also claim back Trance for Neu!, fuck that Goa thing).

Could this be the ideal song for waking up with morning glory, having a spoon and still feeling the mushrooms from the night before? With such a newly formed line up and direction Chromatics are achieving something far beyond expectations, as classic as The Flying Lizards Hands 2 Take which is strong praise indeed from us.

From those of you who have been in a coma or just never visited before we are 20 Jazz Funk Greats which is named after a Throbbing Gristle album. This should explain why a lot of the stuff we post isn’t easy to listen to or very friendly.

After TG and adventures in Coum Transmissions Genesis clicked his glittering red shoes and went off into the land of guiltless sexuality known as OV.

Like any good religion/nation/temple ov needs its own rousing flag waving song, and so we have Ov Power. Its not quite Charles Manson and the Family and not even Jesus Christ Superstar, but Genesis does wear frilly knickers and a wonderbra.

Here at 20 Jazz Funk Greats we have no god (maybe Cthulhu for president) but we do have an embarrassing Mum/Dad to rant and rave and scare our friends when they come round for fizzy pop and sandwiches. Sometimes he even gets out his old instruments and serenades visitors with classics from the past like he did to Stewart from Mogwai when the gig in Birmingham was stopped by a bomb threat. We don’t like Dad’s rave stuff that much but we like it when he rants like on Ov Power, probably the most fucked up funk of an anthem anyone is likely to have.
