A GUY CALLED GERALD 'Automanikk'
SUBSCAPE

Would Gerald have got where he is today if he'd been called Wayne? Or Dean? How about A Guy Called Nigel? Doesn't quite have the same ring does it? Still, the man who shot his `Voodoo Ray' all over the charts returns with a decidedly European feel for the title track of his LP. Minimal female vocals accompany electro "blimey there's some fluff on the needle" beats. The Daleks go disco.

A GUY CALLED GERALD 'Automanikk (Bass Overload Mix)' (130¾- 130½bpm)
(Subscape/CBS AGCG T2)

Derrick 'Mayday' May remixed girls squawked ultra frantic juddering acid house racer, flipped by more jerkily acidic Future (128½-128¾bpm) and robotic guy intoned fiercely scampering twittery Derrick May The Force Be With You (I30½bpm) Mixes, with further mixes to follow in a fortnight while already also separately promoed is its more loosely scurrying Live Gun Shot Mix (130¾bpm), only otherwise on the seven inch, and obviously very different slowly pulsing girl sung Album Mix (114bpm).
