My Twisted Nerve obsession vindicated on a comp by ILXOR.com's favourite artist! Weird!

BACK TO MINE : RICHARD X

Released on DMC on April 5th.

The latest in DMC¹s acclaimed Back To Mine series comes from Richard X,
creator of club land¹s best loved bootlegs in recent years, along with chart
hits for some of Britain¹s biggest names in pop.

With an undying affection for synth-pop, R&B and electronica, Richard X¹s
flair for mixing classic 80¹s electro with R&B resulted in a series of
bootlegs that took club land by storm and brought him to the attention of
both taste makers and the media alike. Top ten hits followed with
Sugababe¹s Freak Like Me (featuring Gary Numan) and Liberty X Being Nobody
(a mix of Chaka Khan¹s Ain¹t Nobody and Human League¹s Being Boiled) and now
a successful solo career having recently released his debut album, ³Richard
X presents his X-Factor Volume 1².

There¹s an inevitable electro pop vibe to Richard¹s selection and he has
included some inspired choices here from both past and present. Black
Cherry, the title track from Goldfrapp¹s latest album is included along with
classic cuts from Heaven 17 (³the ex-Human League boys greatest moment²) Let
Me Go, Pete Shelley¹s Homosapien (³post Buzzcock¹s Shelley¹s embracing of
the new sounds and technology was the true spirit of punk in action²) and
³new boy-in-a-bedroom synth hero² Legowelt. Not surprisingly John
Carpenter¹s eerie soundtrack for Assault On Precinct 13, Denton & Cook¹s
Tomorrow¹s World Theme and Jonas Lewie¹s Always Find Me In The Kitchen At
Parties with it¹s ³suitable moody synthy track² make perfect sense included
amongst this mix. And his passion for R&B is noted with tracks from Kelis
Young, Fresh and New (³experimental yet totally accessible²) and a lost
Neptunes classic Nivea Run Away (³The future equivalent of a Southport
Weekender will dig this up in 20 years time².)

― Jimmy the Saints, Tuesday, 10 February 2004 22:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Richard!! Noooooo! Just because you look like Badly Drawn Boy doesn't mean you have to like him!!!

(Actually JtS who is the Twisted Nerve artist there? Is it Mum and Dad? Cos they get a free pass for having been World of Twist, obviously.)

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 22:20 (twenty-two years ago)

― Jimmy the Saints, Tuesday, 10 February 2004 22:40 (twenty-two years ago)

mum and dad have better songs than that one! what about "Lady Porno" for a start?! "Animals in Towns" could fit in on a girl groups compilation!!

― the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 10 February 2004 22:42 (twenty-two years ago)

'the indie is too strong of a devil in me.'

It takes a strange kind of courage and inner security to say that.
Sadly most of us don't know where we are any more.

― pete s, Tuesday, 10 February 2004 22:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey Jim let's do the corny indie fuxx hi-five!

two months pass...

This is pretty great. It's mixed like the New Order Back To Mine, ie: not much but with the odd really cool transitions, like the percussion from "Assault On Precinct 13" over the top of the opening bit of "Black Cherry".

I really should get that Richard X album, methinks.

nine months pass...
