Wow this is hot - just got it in the inter-post today through whitenoise, and super excited about it. Holy crap. Proper analog madness - biggest thing from the Plumps in ages other than Rocket Soul IMO, and it totally evokes memories of the 100% unabashed tube and valve headfuckery of their old skool anthem "Scram" or something of the like. Lots of sample and hold-y ring mod-y agro sounds with a stonking beat....plus the best use of vocoders in many a year - they robo-hooks stylistically fit with the track and are not merely an attempt to sandwich a vocal in there without having to put in much thought, as is the case amongst most tracks that use that element.
The flip "London Street Music" is great too - Plumps head back into dubby rush-y breaks with some of the blatantly (and understatedly) simple rhythmic sample chopping so popular with the Herve and Sinden style crowd - this is one to make the cold sweats come on at 3 am. Big hardcore stabs and lots of different elements in the mix - feels a little bit like their remix of BT's Smartbomb but thats no bad thing.
Ace package. 9/10 from me!
