WHAT JAMES HAMILTON HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS RELEASE:
VARIOUS: ‘Survival . . . Mind & Matter‘ LP (Survival SUR LP 002)
The ‘Megamix’ side of this strictly futurist electro set is a neatly segued medley of Play’s 140bpm ‘Chasing The Sun‘, Richard Bone’s 131bpm ‘The Quantum Hop‘, Drinking Electricity’s 138bpm ‘Breakout‘ and Do It’s 129bpm ‘Do It’ — Bone’s Yazoo-ish contribution, with some of those ‘Buffalo Gals’ clucking effects, evidently has been much used by “break” dancers in the Bronx and certainly sounds useful now.
