FLASHBACK (T RAUMSCHMIERE REMIX) 20 VOLTS OF STEEL (FRANZ & SHAPE REMIX) NIGHT DRIVE (ALBUM VERSION) |
ARTIST: MOTOR TITLE: FLASHBACK FORMAT: 12”/Download CATALOGUE NO: 12NOMU178 RELEASE DATE: 03 MARCH 2008 TRACKLIST: As the Motor partners in crime busy themselves in the studio for album No.3 they unleash their third and final single from last year’s ‘Unhuman’ album with the live favourite ‘Flashback’. Backed by superb remixes from the leaders of the dark rave school of funk; Franz & Shape, T. Raumschmiere and Terence Fixmer, ‘Flashback’ burns its way into your subconscious like a frazzled strobe light plugged straight into a power station. And if there was ever a remix to take Hardfloor’s acid sound to the next level then look no further than the mighty Franz & Shape re-working of ’20 Volts of Steel’. Simply stunning! Last year saw MOTOR tour extensively around the US with Nitzer Ebb as well as their own domination of clubs, gigs and festivals across Europe and Japan. If anything the MOTOR live show is now a finely tuned barrage of stage energy, spit in your face noise and assured self belief as the band have matured into a well oiled troup of techno blazing and rock posturing sonic deviants. Their new material has taken this mutant disco hybrid and coerced it into a sleeker and more mature sound that smoothes the edges yet retains the attitude of their previous clubland destroying singles. With the Motor crew about to head off for Japan for the third time in
12 months on an arena venue tour ‘Flashback’ is a timely
reminder of their dancefloor power. T. Raumschmiere’s mix twists
the original on its head with a stuttered break underpinning a chaotic
synth riff spinning out of the stratosphere. Then Franz & Shape deliver
a right hook to the 303 plexus as the drip ’20 Volts of Steel’ into
an acid blood bath of techno deviance. Terence Fixmer further wraps up ‘Flashback’ in
his iron-clad industrial mangler whilst an exclusive extra T. Raumschmiere
mix can also be found on the download at Beatport. |
