Ya


Factory Floor- messy decorators, don't ask them to do your front room. You could ask them to provide you with some good music though. They've slimmed down to a two piece and on their new album 25 25 they've moved away from the industrial noise of their earlier records to an acid house sound- stripped back with bouncing basslines, analogue synths, acid squiggles and squelches, the tsk tsk tsk of high hats, an 808 snare, a thumping kick drum and some very minimal vocals ('Ya', 'work work work'). Much of this album sounds like it could have been made and played in any dance club anywhere between 1988 and 2003 but it more than gets away with it- retro but forward thinking. I suspect I shall be playing this for some time.

  1. your totally right about the 88-03, reminds me of so many records and it doesn't suffer because of it. Don't really know their stuff but going to check them out. My wasp sting is still sore, i've no doubt that the actual sting has entered my blood stream and is heading to my heart to kill me. i'm going to have to get some miniaturized medical help.
