Voom:Voom
Been MIA for a little while but back with a bang this week. Other blogs might post everyday but sometimes four out of five of those posts are simply to fill the weekly schedule. But here at SK we like to savor the flavor, let things slow roast a bit until real nuggets arrive from the postman. And do I have a triple play coming up for you all. Today's post is from what some might deem a "supergroup." Me, I'm not too keen on the term, unless it would mean DJ Shadow and BoC teaming up to produce a record with Robert Trujilo on bass, Neil Peart on drums and John Hopper on harp (this last part is a joke but your boy Hugo from "Lost" would make a great Hopper look-a-like). No, the post is from Voom:Voom, the Austrian power trio of Fauna Flash (Christian Prommer and Roland Appel) and legendary mellow man ace Peter Kruder. The old bass-heavy Voom:Voom releases are rare classics and this new set of four 12" singles is sure to stir the same fervor, although on first listen I am not so sure about all the cuts. Some hit, others miss, but there are all dancefloor friendly. Just depends where your dancefloor is and who's steering it. A little bit Prins Thomas and little bit Compost, these records will work for a large majority of you out there. Just don't expect deep and dubby. Think more along the lines of Deep Dish. For some -- including myself -- I feel a cringe coming on... But with a track like "Roger," sounding like Dr. Rubberfunk eating oysters on a nice secluded European beach, I can hold off for a brief moment during this weird, unpredictable winter. Resources
