A GUY CALLED GERALD - VOODOO RAY EP

A GUY CALLED GERALD 'Voodoo Ray' (Rham)

Already the subject of much grapevine gossip, Manchester's A Guy Called Gerald at last unleashes his handiwork on the public. Call it House if you like, but there's more here than that. Low production values glare but Voodoo Ray' transcends its limitations. Rhythmically compulsive yet curiously brittle, AGCG bring dance music perilously close to the frontiers of art/noise esotericism.

Let me put it another way. This is the kind of industrial funk that people with rose-tinted hearing aids are always telling us that Cabaret Voltaire used to make. Got it?
