Since the development of the affordable music synthesiser through the
early 1970's the opportunity to provide an alternative to guitar-based
pop has been the most exciting strand in commercial music.
Its heroes are those who choose to challenge people to embrace novel
sounds and techniques instead of anaesthetising people with the
comfort of more skilfully produced versions of stuff they already
know.
I might not have heard of the Op;l Bastards but for their shocking,
scary and great remix of one of our more obscure singles. This led me
later to snap up "The Job".
Vital for those passionate about a continuing tradition of synth music
it is individual, thrilling but most of all (in an increasingly timid
world) UNCOMPROMISING.
Among others it features the succulent "Funking", "Scorpius" and
"Sagittarius III" (both indispensible to any modern DJ) and
"Sinule" , now firmly in my collection of favourite ever
instrumentals, with Hendrix and Moroder.
In the besieged and defensive under-city cave that is the electro
world "The Job" is a radiant jewel.
