Um Kraftwerk? Lots of new wave, electro acts do this sort of thing. The detached talking voice on top of dancey rhythms.

The vulgarity is off the charts. I mean as if the lyrics weren't bad enough, she spits them with the most unbridled fury imagineable (and how can you not love "Suck your dick, bastard bitch! / I wanna get your weiner in my ass!!" Makes 2 Live Crew look like Spongebob.

26 Mixes Focaccia (Stevie D), Friday, 5 February 2010 20:35 (fourteen years ago) link

One of my absolute favorites is the intro to "Art School Girls of Doom" from Liquid Television. Something about this beat is so fucking infections; it sounds like "Numbers" for the slacker generation. Will some day sample it.

26 Mixes Focaccia (Stevie D), Thursday, 11 February 2010 08:04 (fourteen years ago) link

That is not remotely fast, dancey, or electroish! It's just people talking over a 4/4 beat.

:-P

That's the original from 1984. It's pretty dope, but I think Hardfloor's remix from 1997 is even better:

Does it sound if it has a bit of singing besides the talking?

The DJ Koze Pink Moon Remix of Sascha Funke's "Mango" - this is definitely one of my top tracks of the past decade. "Where We At" is a great song too, but this Pink Moon Remix more than any other song really sums up the tone of recent years:

Dream on dreamer
Smile in slow motion when you're out of control, cuz the revolution wont be televised, wont be live, wont happen at all...

Dream on dreamer
Cuz you did the best as you could, you're dyin slow but way much quicker than you should...

Maybe I'm just getting old. Scratch that - I'm definitely getting old. Couldn't really find the song on YT - it is incorporated into this blend though:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4AQxKHho58

Actual song can be heard here.

viborg, Thursday, 11 February 2010 19:15 (fourteen years ago) link

The "dream on dreamer" voiceover in the DJ Koze remix of "Mango" is from another track on <em>Mango</em>, "The Fortune Cookie Symphony" - though on the album it's a short ambient closer rather than 4/4.

with hidden noise, Thursday, 11 February 2010 19:42 (fourteen years ago) link

Ah, thanks. I suspected it was actually from another song but I couldn't sort out which one. Still, the darkness of the Koze remix really sucks me in.

viborg, Friday, 12 February 2010 05:59 (fourteen years ago) link

It so is electro-ish (in the Man Parrish/Afrika Bambaataa sense of the word)!
