Ah, Lindstrom, our main cosmic disco-man, we have spent a fair few cold nites in listening to your hypnotic kosmiche beat constructions, got lost in the myriad tunnels of the mind with the shimmer of your ethereal holographic emerald synths as a companion, floated further and further down the cracks in the Earth created by the 50ft chanteuse, Solale, held hands and danced with a squadron of glass-skinned snow beauties in a giant crystal igloo on Hyperion.

Mr Lindstrom, come and meet our friend Yamatsuka Tetsuro, he’ll make you sound like Black Dice, it’ll be a total blast:

Lindstrom – The Contemporary Fix (EYE Remix)

Yes, we have been riding the smooth waves created by italo and cosmo-Prins Thomas disco(not disco) but we have not forgotten the forest jamborees of past times. We can still appreciate sampled and cut-up baby voice-rave anthems, still get lost in the house of dayglo smashed mirrors at the fair that Black Dice and OOIOO beam to our brains from the darkside of the Sun.

This marriage of those two sides is like a digital pixelated explosion in the sky, releasing Cassette Playa eyeballs that clatter across the room like pinballs, closely followed by flaming Chinese Dragons that loop in and out of chattering skull’s eye sockets that alternate between green and orange, Altered Beast characters kicking and punching in a macabre arcade disco dance-off.

Glass Candy’s new CDR, B/E/A/T/B/O/X, is a giant growling fuscia spraycan, dispersing a fine mist of glitter-beat power pop that engulfs 8O’s Madonna, Donna Summer, that guy Moroder, Kraftwerk and Patrick Cowley and sprays them over miami beach palm trees and NY skyline silouettes, they are but liquid metal dripping from sharpened points into the Beatbox jacuzzi below.

Glass Candy – Last Nite I Met A Costume (B/E/A/T/B/O/X Version)

Remember ‘City Lites’ from the ‘Music Dream’ CDR in 2006? We said that track was like frozen rain hitting the cold hard concrete floor lit with blue moonlight in a sleeping city. Well, ‘Last Nite I Met A Costume’ is the same time and space transported to the countryside, an orange fading to dull brown cloud filled sky. Aeroplanes with the movement and dexterity of sea snakes undulate through the air passing across liquid green lasers firing from the pinnacle of the highest mountain on the horizon, lasers that scrawl faces on the Moon that are reflected on vast lakes and through dew covered treetops. Then comes the rain, hot and acidic, tearing holes in the forests, boiling the lakes and dissolving the mountains to green deserts.

We look different. Welcome to the new thing.

I am not entirely sure what the above image has to do with Professor Genius other than it looks buff and vaguly mathsy and disco-like. I love how there is no background to it, it just overlaps our pretty pixels backdrop like its all been sucked into oblivion! Sorry, its late, I have coffee.

Professor Genius – Notti Bianche
*you missed it, sorry, it was limited*

Yes, limited, cos Professor Genius wants it that way, and who are we to argue as the simple middlemen? In what format, with what tracks, and when, are all things about the Professor’s release schedule that we are unsure of at this time, so don’t worry and just listen to the sound of ‘Notti Bianche’.

A pixelated Airwolf helicopter is spearing through the cosmos that appears as streaking 8-bit 3D blocks, but as the arppegiators swell the copter morphs into a winged unicorn, and that in turn induces mass euphoria and the world dies and is reborn over and over again.

Speed like the unicorn to 24:Hours to pick up another sooper limited track ‘Mystery Driver’!

It is incredibly amazing how Glass Candy have honed that sound only they possess to a sharp sparkling sonic dagger that with one effortless plunge a new track/12″/photo concept is formed. Plus, we totally dig how they are catching on beyond belief now, how when a new track appears on the Myspace page, its like an event on a few choice messageboards and secret password-locked URL clubs of kids in the know. This is how it should be my friends, good music making people sit up and take notice.

Glass Candy – Miss Broadway (Demo Version)

This is the demo version of a cover of a Belle Epoque track, which will appear on an Italians Do It Better 12″ in the upcoming months.

Johnny Jewel once again infuses it all with that trademark off kilter throb that feels like a slinky made of liquid falling down your back, and Ida No replaces the original’s vocals with her velvetine shimmer, and there is even strings and a saxaphone at the end! Fuck, its like we’re beamed back into ’79 in an NY basement club snorting coke with Grace Jones while Warhol takes our picture.
