The Videodrome mk XIV

you may have heard of a london based club called 'durr'.. ive never been there, but it does seem like an excellent club, and uber-star erol alkan is involved with it somehow and obviously named his remix of waters of nazareth after it..

durr recently sent through this clip of Free Blood which is awesome. a fair bit goes into these videos- the audio is recorded seperately and tweaked by ez alks himself so we can all feel pretty safe that the audio is really good quality..


Free Blood - Quick and Painful

good non?
here also are a couple of free blood remixes that are pretty cool in a free blood kinda way

Free Blood - Quick and Painful (Hot Chip Remix)

Free Blood - Grumpy (Greg Wilson Remix)

wampyr?

once upon a time i remember reading about these weird people in NY that thought/liked to pretend that they were vampires.. apparently they enjoyed to bleed a pig out into a jug or bucket and then drink the blood.. ew.

i dont know if John Pugh (former member of !!!) or Madeline Davy (fashion designer) enjoy drinking blood, but the title of their band certainly suggests that they do... (i dont think they actually do)..

Free Blood- Grumpy

somehow they made sounding way too cool actually good. and somehow those infectious, bouncy drums manage to tie all those rand0m mismatched other elements together vee nicely.. and somehow the raw sort of production really sets off the vocals.. (thumbs up!!!!!)

Free Blood - Royal Family

i guess it would be fair to describe Free Blood's sound as progressive indie-dance.. very much along the lines of !!! and Battles.. (but they are just a whole lot funner and dancier)
in fact, parallels were drawn between Battles and Free Blood in this interview.. progressive rock ""battles-style"" that you can properly dance to- would there be anything better???

this remix here got my loving approval in the way that it uses the pianos to really colour in and complete the track just after half way.

Free Blood - Royal Family (ACTH Remix)

aaaahhhh (horror?)
