A2 Secret desire
B1 Playstation #2
B2 Us & ours & you & yours
I got really exited when I realised that Juno Records had this record from 1997 in stock. To be able to buy this in new condition at a price lower then the cost in the used market (for good condtiton copy's that is) was a real treat for me.
I-F is short for Inter Ference and a projekt byFerenc E. van der Sluijs from The Hague in Holland. He is also the man behind the label Viewlexx, that released several interesting club records in the late 90's and the early 00's. I will return to this label in future posts.
The song Space invaders are smoking grass i a huge favorite of mine and a song that I'm surprised I don't hear more often at clubs and party's. It's a really early example of cool electroclash, and if you 're into bands like Fischerspooner you should really love this.
But his release is not just one hit-song. The other 3 songs are also very good and interesting. Playstation #2 is alsmost as cool as Space invaders and a new favorite of mine. Secret desire is a little more mellow but has some very cool voocooder and synth sounds. Us & ours & you & yours is a bit diffrent and is more breakbeat then electroclash. Maybee the one song that I won't listen to as often as the others.
So please mr DJ, put this record on. I would love to dance to this at the next party.
