"Have you ever taken a trip down the shops for some bread and milk recently; headphones in ears, shaking your head spontaneously yet vigorously from time to time, side-to-side? If yes, next question; was this because your local drug dealer is a legal alien? Putting aside references to songs by Sting, concurring to both questions, probably means ‘community’ is your sort of stuff. The fifteen track head trip might as well be your backtrack to own personal 16-bit computer game, where your mission to Cost Cutters to that all important hallowed munchies is blocked by the pesky elderly, push trolleys in hand whilst chav kids man untamed staffs. Forgetting and boxing up my generic, overused drug stereo types, that in my mind never get old, Bad Sekta’s latest compilation does make your body spasm a bit, but only in a good way of course.
My journey (apologies if I sound like I’m providing a historical reference to my spiritual past) of bedroom dancing through this compilation several times over the last week is as an understatement ‘utterly diverse.’ Diversity is a pop word used in today’s society to describe our differences in the local community, but in this case, we get a potential Collin’s dictionary definition in bold audio format for the kids that are bored reading stuff. You may feel I have beefed this up to its puff story extremity but listen and you’ll see tracks by artists you may not heard bantered about such as DJ Wrongspeed, Kovert, Lastboss, Stitch and many others that really manage to capture different dance floor moods quite sophisticatedly – some fairly relaxed where you might chance having candles in the background (not advised)whilst others, purely, wholeheartedly .... Bloody mental!
Seeming like I have sat on the metaphorical fence till now, this free download (although donations accepted gratefully) on Bad Sekta’s webpage really provides a solid preparation to the Saturday night drink-up. No cheap 16-bit pop cheap thrills here (even through my imagination in the text above said so earlier) - A praiseworthy 7/10."
