The Norwegian fusoid jazznut drum twiddle merchants from the land of the midnight sun. magic mushrooms, busty valkerie characters and non-ironic beardage return. And how they return. 'Day' was one of the finest moments of catchy goodness from their recent 'Stix' album, mixing up as it does, sunny acoustic guitar, super sharp shooting double bass and the kind of ratchetted, precise drum and bassiness that gives you a dancefloor hernia. Oh, and some sweeping strings. Those kids, those crazy kids. Not content with a reprise, they throw in 'Two Things,' a brand new track which ups the glitch quotient until you feel like your brain is skipping but in a deeply felt and rather melancholy sort of way. The musical equivalent of watching a French film in which very beautiful women decide that life is no longer worth living. After which, the remixers are unleashed. The ever-so-famous Herbert, who having spent years crumpling up balls of paper, has found international acclaim with his big band, comes through with a really very sly and rather wonderful take on the original, with a clown car middle 16 and the kind of rhythm which sounds like an aerobic workout for machines who are much cooler than you and all your friends? Last but not least, come the one the only DAT Politics, who start off by making a cup of tea and end up clicking up your life into some kind of hymn. The trio from Lille are becoming renowned at the less erm, rigorous/abstrract end of the glitch spectrum and if this piece doesn't put a smile on your face, well then sod off and listen to your Eric Clapton records. Or make a cup of tea. Or take some magic mushrooms. Or? well, you know what we mean. *CD single includes the wonderful AKFF! Produced video to the original'
