Of course, I fully accept that I could well be out of my tiny mind.
I’m currently listening to a track culled from recordings made in Greece in the 1960s. A track that has apparently been requantified and recontextualised as the Hardcore Continuum meets Sigur Ros in a tiny drum’n’bass bar – with only a moog, a kettle and a pair of spoons for instruments. And I think there’s a small tribe of mice dancing nearby (off their tits, natch). With a dearth of digital information in English it’s hard to tell, but whatever it is, it’s beautiful. We do know it’s called ‘Kyriarxoi Tou Sympantos’ and it’s by Fantastikoi Hxoi. And there’s a double album’s worth of similar fantasies waiting to be downloaded for free at a blog written entirely in Greek. God bless the internet, and – once again – god bless the blog kids at 20JFG for the signpost, and for squirting liquid acid in our morning tea.
