Released on Luke Una's E Soul Cultura label, in partnership with Mr Bongo,
Crooked Man has remoulded, re-energised and completely reworked 'Everything'
and 'My Shadow' from Transmission Towers' critically acclaimed debut LP,
Transmission One . The result is a double dose of transcendental, tripped- out
productions utilising every ounce of Crooked Man's experience and expertise.
A key fgure in electronic dance music since the late '80s, Shefeld-born Crooked
Man aka Richard Barratt released one of bleep techno's defning records back in
'89. Landing on Warp, it came under the alias Sweet Exorcist with the late great
Richard H. Kirk. Since then, Barratt has put out a slew of exceptional productions
under a variety of different monikers from Crooked Man and Parrot, to Earth
Angel and Athletes of God. He has released on DFA, delivered countless remixes
for Roisin Murphy and reimagined the likes of JIM and Joe Goddard.
For this release, Crooked Man frst takes 'Everything' and contorts it from a postpunk guitar trip into a cybertronic, new beat heater, aptly titled 'Everything (Gone
Crooked)'. A percussive state of hypnosis leads the charge, building the tension
for a rumbling kick drum and buzzing synth- line to twist their talons into your
mind. Eleanor Mante's vocals take on a new vivacity, feeling like your head has
been sucked into a psychedelic swirl away from reality. Afrofuturist, arresting and
perfectly equipped to electrify any waning dancefoor into action.
On the B side, 'My Shadow (Crooked Shade)' sees Crooked Man morph the
original into a frestarter of galactic proportions . The crunched- up breakbeat
drives the journey and fips what was once a hallucinatory machine soul number,
into an intoxicating slice of club- focussed heat from another dimension .
Spiralling pads and astral synths coil around Eleanor's reverberating vocals, as
your body is willed to move in a trancelike state of cosmic motion.
Tracks: Everything (Gone Crooked) / My Shadow (Crooked Shade)
