Pogo a 21-year-old who has the incredible talent of mixing songs using chord, bass & voice samples from movies. This was made entirely from sounds in Up!

I can’t even begin to imagine the level of patience required to create a song like this (or even editing the clip!)

A kind of light spread out from her. And everything changed color. And the world opened out. And a day was good to awaken to. And there were no limits to anything. And the people of the world were good and handsome. And I was not afraid anymore.

Hi Johnnyx, thanks for the kind words. Some good questions there. To answer:-

1. Yes, to some extent. In the process of making the new album we’ve gone “back to our roots” a wee bit, and some of the mixes we do will be more quirky like our original stuff.

2. It’s mostly Jon, Nick and George, with some contributions from Peter and Simon

3. Not at all! Phil Harding was instrumental in introducing us to Chicago House at the time.

Glad to hear you’re into our stuff - hope you enjoy what’s to come!

Fool’s Gold

The Cockpit, Leeds)

- Dave Simpson

From Vampire Weekend to Foals, afrobeat has become a part of pop lately, but there’s nothing quite like this. Fool’s Gold aren’t – as one hapless punter had imagined – a Stone Roses tribute but a fearsome Los Angeles-based afropop band. Led by Lewis Pesacov – a man who plays guitar when he isn’t raising his arms in the air – and vocalist/guitarist Luke Top, the group grew up listening to western pop radio alongside soukous, high-life and desert music, and bring it all together in work that is uplifting and inspirational. At times, their approach to African music brings to mind that of the Pogues’ to traditional Irish folk: playing it faster, and with such demented enthusiasm that one of the drummers falls off his stool.

“KTP´s” 1983 “Naked” album is one of the most remarkable albums from the 80´s “New Wave”.It´s light-years more elaborated & innovative than the poppier New Wave releases of that time.It sounds like a New Wave-Prog,almost like the “Cardiacs” ,one of my preferred bands, wich with their unusual approach,openned doors to a sort of Prog-Punk.
Both bands sound totally different,but their approaches to get away from their “original roots” and improve it,are brilliant.
If it could be possible I think KTP;Cardiacs (at a much superior level)and “Punishment Of Luxury”,also from England, created a completely different and progressive sound & vision,each in it´s segment.To be short,I´ll not talk about “Wire”,that also moved from Punk to,whatever you will classify it at “154” and then moved to avant-garde.KTP also did much more records,mainly singles/EP´s and even more LP´s/CD

Live on something, 2009

This is one of the truly great pop songs of the past few years, it’s really too bad it could only go so far given that it’s sung in French and not English. I love that the duality implied by the title is mirrored in the form — it would be a great song if it never shifted up, but once it changes course midway, it becomes a truly outstanding piece of music. What a wonderful release!
