Greater Than One - G-Force



Excellent WaxTrax! era proto-industrial...

"Dancefloor Surrealists - and that's just the half of it - GTO
construct collages of multi-lingual samples and wacked-out noises to
cover their technological tracks. G-Force is a cartwheeling
combination of Steinski's nimble feet and The Young Gods' operatic
gusto, all stitched together by St. Winifred's style choir chanting
devil-worship slogans in the middle distance. "Ich Liebe Dich Mein
Prinz" energizes ethnic wailing seemingly recorded through a snorkel,
and "Black Magic" impales minimalist vocals onto a wiry violin while
sevarel Daleks dance themselves dizzy in the studio. Fragments of
MC 900 FT Jesus's harsh, dislocated chatter and Front 242's
leather-clad New Beat throb abound, with tons of Acidic sparks and
dadaist references tossed in for extra momentum. But the weirdest,
simplest track here is "Why Do Men Have Nipples?," marrying
snatches of American dating-game show dialogue with a toe-tapping
tape-loop of numb percussion." - Stephen Dalton, NME
