Psychederek's new single, Thinkin' Bout U, came out last Friday, four versions of the track. The first- Thinkin' Bout U Pt. 1 (Mercury)- picks up where his cover of 808 State's Pacific State from last year's Alt! 12" left off, with sumptuous synth chords, birdsong, ambient house vibes and a killer saxophone line.
Pt 1 (Mercury) eases us in gently. Pt 2 (Venus) adds drums, an insistent groove with a driving bassline, the sax a little lower in the mix, a Stone Roses- esque guitar line, shifting from ambient house to indie dance. Pt. 3 (Mars) is dance floor gold the drums and bass in A Certain Ratio territory, heads down and funked up. Pt. 4 (Jupiter/ Reprise) turns the sax line into an accordion, the vibe gone all Balearic. It's a wonderful EP that shows the possibilities in music, and that one version is never the only way to do something.Get it at Bandcamp.

As you said - excellent stuff. I think he's getting better by every release.
Listening with my breakfast; totally hooked!
