Review: Late Of The Pier 'Fantasy Black Channel'

http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/9456/piermodifiedfurtherko9.png
Dear kids of neon colored wristbands, thick plastic eye frames, contrasted clashing fag badges and baby sized T's; prepare to howl in your Paul Frank underwear & wayfarers under the next full moon; because Late of the Pier have written the DIY manual for a better living for the extremists of this genre/trend/movement & have vulgarly put the Klaxons, We Are Wolves, Shitdisco & the likes to horrendous shame.

From the first chord, Erol Alkan have patted over the whole production with his blessing hands & I'm sure at the time he had Gameboys for breakfast because the Crystal-Castles-esque 8-bit garnish is vividly substantial; Fantasy Black Channel talks a language of razor-sharp hi-hats, bruising beats & lagging guitar licks, all building a puzzling set for Late Of The Pier's goosebump inducing dramatic shrills that scuffles with the star-dusted synth in this atypical circus of sounds.

Our old methods of evoking a group seizures including mornings of sugary vomit funk inhaling and fresh nylon trash bags galvanizing rituals at the church of Nu-Rave are no longer necessary – all you have to do is take a head trip into Fantasy Black Channel and I promise you, the next time some hipster gashes your head wide open with a crowbar at a gig, a kaleidoscopic flood of sparkling Swarovski crystals will intensely pour out of it & you shall be remembered for it.

It is by far the most powerful, imaginative & significant state-of-the-art Nu-Rave record to bestow its sickness upon my ears in this lifetime; I wish it was released on 8-track cartridge so I can use it as a soundtrack to the Kermit & Miss Piggy 45minutes magical fisting sex tape.

not unacceptable, it's just unfair - if Nu-rave was definable then I'd rather stick it to these guys than Klaxons.

all some of us know about nu-rave is that its a feeling of colorful chaos when listening to a certain type of music that is related to visuals.

They should make Nu-Rave a subject and teach it <3
