Volume two (I missed volume one by Andrew Weatherall) of Sci-Fi-Lo-Fi, mixed by Damian Lazarus, is one of those mixes that manages to combine many disparate elements to form one cohesive statement, that is greater than the sum of it’s essential parts. Or it’s a bloody good mix. Just depends on where you went to school eh? When writing about music I really like, stuff that press all of my ‘buttons’ it is tempting to go off on a slight tangent, expressing how it makes me feel, the images it conjours up in my warped little mind etc. And, while that’s good, you may not be like me, so I sometimes have to force myself to write in the fact-based world. So; This mix start out with the glitchy atmospherics of Andy Weatherall and Burial, before sliding into some very deep disco dub, ala Hercules And Love Affair, Solomon & Stimming and Moloko (remixing Pulp, to amazing effect). From there on in it’s an opiate infused journey through the worlds of time, space, bass and machines to a place where things happen very quickly, but feel like they are actually happening in slow motion. Ach, you see I’ve done it again.
