Go to that lovely christmas work do, watch your respectable colleagues become bubonic bats spreading sickly black wings, black blue bloated veins holding on to a drink, sneaking surreptitiously around the body of a wide-eyed victim, angry drooling mouths supurating toxic saliva and baring yellow teeth, close your eyes. We hope you weren’t looking into the mirror. Open your eyes, switch the TV on and admire all those inflatable bodies with plastic skins floating like plague balloons in front of you, selling you rings and jewels and perfumes with which to disguise the stench of loneliness and inadequacy. Change channel, a rotting corpse wearing an expensive hat reads feebly from the papers a squad of cackling skeletons slid into her hands, fear fear fear hope nothing will happen fear we have had freedom for too long give some away and be free to fear. Close your eyes, switch off the TV and go CCTV, yes, fear as slimy pink monsters run tither and yon with an empty look in their blood-shot eyes, chasing the ghost of happinness in the crushed face of someone who dared stare, in a swollen sweaty body squeezed un-squeezed from too small a dress, because fat is to be feared too. Close your eyes and walk fast to a safe place, chase that happinness too in a bag glass wrap of white fake magic, find it for a second forgetting.
Yourself.

20jazzfunkgreats would like to extend warm & heartfelt seasonal greetings y’all, remember, it’s gonna be 2007, drop it like it’s sick, the party vibe must be fucked up because that’s where it’s at, and when we say fucked up we mean fuck it up, not fuck yourself up, remember, monsters like 2 dance 2.

Yellow Swans- Police Eternity

Yellow Swans took our souls by storm with Psychic Secession, and with ‘Bring the Neon War Home’ which I guess could be considered their ‘dance record’, they fucking trash it. Police Eternity just sounds like Marilyn Manson would if he actually meant it, and knew how to do it too, or if Wolf eyes decided to get ‘funky’, whatever that means, dark stuff all the same.

Flux Information Sciences- Adaptech

Perhaps a sonic metaphor for J.G. Ballard’s high rise, the crack opens wide and Flux Information Sciences come through pure steh auf NYC with a piece of disturbing testosterone fuelled aggro that makes Services sound quite tame by comparison, you’re bound to go ballistic when you know you have Swans looking over your shoulder.

Esplendor Geometrico- Isolektra

Which sounds like mechanical fists building a palace of abstract, absurd, savage pristine beauty, no-one can beat Esplendor Geometrico, the spanish daddies of industrial techno, when they decide to get structurally nasty. This wonder of tension is from that depot of binary shrapnel, their 1981-2003 anthology. Check these guys out, Benedict.
