Electro to make your feet go
Last Waltz 'Tunnel Snakes' (Me Me Me)
The latest release from Man Power’s Me Me Me imprint sees Geoff Kirkwood (Man Power), Lee Forster (Lizards) and Mick Rolfe (The Great Curve) bringing back their experimental supergroup Last Waltz after a two-year hiatus. The trio don’t waste any time in getting down to business with three contrasting cuts. ‘Tunnel Snakes’ sets the tone early on by combining futuristic space disco with barbed electro for a seductive opener. ‘Y’ave Changed’, on the other hand, is a low-key blend of disco and drone-y techno. The EP’s real standout, though, is ‘Itchy’, which sounds like an old-school cut of saw-toothed electro that’s just itching to do business on the dancefloor. Tel Aviv’s Red Axes and Naduve then deliver a whirring remix teeming with experimental synth lines and esoteric vocal chops.
