CHICKEN LIPS "CLICKS, ACID 'N' DISCO" (TRUST THE DJ) |
| |
I:Cubes Vacuum Jacket leads off Chicken Lips new
Clicks, Acid n Disco comp with etherea-backed
mid-speed funk beats. DJ Chicken Lips is at it again,
funking out some cool grooves that gather much
atmosphere from often spartan compositions. The beats
join in an 80s homage by dancing in front of a very
old school electropop melody line and equally old
school robovox in Moskow Diskow by Telex. Stashs
Fools Gold also remembers the 80s with its
retrohouse flavah. Blanc Tape by Chicken Lips is so
drenched in back-in-the-day electronic cheesepop as to
be totally gnarly. The Electronic Boogie Bands Dum
Funk lays out a simple discofunk beat touched by
slight electronic textures from todays side of the
spectrum and hip-hop and minimalist experimental lock
together on the decidedly strange Thirst from Tim
Wright while dark Latex Empire style goa drives
ADJDs Believe, a standout track. With these tracks
and others to be found on Clicks, Acid n Disco
Chicken Lips does an admirable job of generating good
chilled modern disco and finding something new for the
listener from track to track. -- review by Kristofer Upjohn
