2007-02-17 2 Dailymotion

On "You Got Me Up" chimes segue imperceptibly into electronic bleeps. A funk guitar loop is sped up into a high pitched buzz for the outro of "When I Come Back Around". "Music Will Not Last", an early Motown-type number,features a low-fi fuzzy drum kit,seemingly played at thefar end of a verylong tunnel.

And the result of this oh-so-clever melding of the ultra modern and the time tested? It may not be that muchfun, but it is interesting, and probably a little ahead of its time. And what's more, you certainly can't hoover to it.
