Re-edit disco mania seems like the thing to do, between growing a beard and surfing the net for rare and preferably unheard records. As a lifelong follower of fashion in all aspects of life's rainbow, the Phantom Slasher thought it was time to cash in and relieve some poor innocents of their hard earned shekels with a series of pointless re-workings of well known disco records they just found.Featuring a no expense spared all star line up of creative minds Cyrus Posatron and Digby Yakkiddin are assisted in this labour of love by the creative genius that is Frank Rimburger, and a Flock of Terry's amongst others, with all efforts manhandled by the infamous Bobby "Back Door" Dove. They hope the eight works here serve to enrich your world, relight your dancefloor and spread the message of love that is at the centre of all that the Phantom Slasher wants you to feel. These words come from those disco purveyors the Idjut Boys

but this is basically the best thing ever ... easily my favorite noid / idjuts release, probably the best beardo comp i've heard since "sarcastic disco" itself

i think they read ILM!
also they put out a record called "beard law" in the mid-90s.
As a lifelong follower of fashion in all aspects of life's rainbow, the Phantom Slasher thought it was time to cash in
they've been working in this vein forever, and have pretty much been exclusively working in the disco/italo/balearic re-edits vein since the late 90s ... the basic breakdown is that their NOID label is almost entirely disco remix/re-edit style and their U-STAR label is original dubby deep house jams ... but U-STAR has been inactive for at least a few years now (?)
and relieve some poor innocents of their hard earned shekels
i don't think they're particularly romantic about disco
with a series of pointless re-workings
the idjuts are probably the most aggressive disco re-editors/remixers i've ever heard. it's more along the lines of "extended sampling" (i just made that term up) than reediting. the end results are pretty fucking far from reedits ... way more "out" than theo's "ugly edits", for example.
of well known disco records
they sample the bee gees! and they re-edit the same track dj hell used for "for your love"! and some of it is crazy shit i've never even heard before.
they just found
again, these guys have been doing the "spinning obscure disco" thing longer than just about anybody but dj harvey (or dudes like tony humphries who were there in the first place).

There are several tracks which have a weird but beautiful Pink Floyd going disco vibe - all the "Pink Floyd goes disco" stuff which was left outside of Scissor Sisters' "Comfortably Numb".

I was shocked when I listened to the Logic System track and realised how much of it Reverso 68 swiped for their remix of Manhead's "Doop".
― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 30 October 2006 21:22 (seventeen years ago) link
that kaos + sal p mix looks good but i also gotta say it's just like a licensed version of a "best-of" of all the bootleg rub'n'tug / harvey / etc mixes floating around.

Yes but despite the likely air of unoriginality it would have for a committed fan, this is actually a strong point for know-nothing me. My "professionalism" comment above is a bit of a dig at Campfire really: I like the fact that the Kaos & Sal P mix feels like a best-of, it means it's all killer no filler, a Rough Guide to Beardo basically. The mixing and sequencing are superb as well, it reminds me of the best Glimmer Twins mixes or Jeffrey Mac's Disco Train mix in that you're waiting for a boring track or a drop in intensity and it just doesn't happen.
I still haven't heard Crazy Rhythms yet though, maybe that's even better.

i see your point. also agree w/ dan, it'll be nice to finally give some money to logic system and zazu.
are harvey's "sonic disco" mixes licensed or bootlegged?

No dis to your skills Dan. I have one of your earlier mixes from a few years ago.
I want a straight beardo comp.
― hector (hector), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 05:54 (seventeen years ago) link
but it's so hard to license! (i justify mix CDs as ethically better then bootlegging for the above reason). Anyway, you mean the Golden Limo mix? That was kinda goofy and rushed but fun. I have plans for like 4 more mixes that I've just been too lazy to get to.

Its all about the return on the investment I guess.

Now for the real question: Is it I GET RaViNG? I GET RoViNG (for some reason this is what I always say in my head, strangely)? I GET ReVeNGe? Nothing at all?
