We Speak Alien ( UK ?)

Very cheeky release this one. Bullet Proof is the alter ego of a well-known psy artist evidently sensing the current appeal of cover versions (love em or hate em) with this shifty vinyl-only release. The Blue Monday take is much more direct, and a fair bit more bangin’, than Cosmosis & Mindfield’s recent Re-Order, with less psychedelia in its twist and a more lawyer-baiting buzz. Tainted Love is again, more of a direct cover than the “borrowing” done by the equally-mysterious Save The Robot with Painted Dove off Imagi:Nations Night. As cheeky moments in paytrance go, this has to be one of the cheekiest – a CD release would have done more to ensure it gets played at the festivals this summer (and believe me, it will) and with its presence on vinyl you can’t help but think there must be quite a crossover market here, though I’m not too sure what it is. As long as people keep dancing to covers, then covers there shall be – and this, as possibly the only release on We Speak Alien, certainly looks like being a collectable one.

New Artist Demo Of The Month

New new new new new new new new NEW!!! etc

To clarify from last mailout... I realised belatedly that "demo" in most countries in the world refers to a DJ's mix CD. In the UK, one of those is called a "mix" and a "demo" refers to material by an artist -- producer, band, MC, etc. This doesn't mean I've got it wrong -- it means the rest of the worldhas got it wrong.

So...

Each month, psyreviews will be selecting a demo from an unsigned or unreleased artist, that shows massive scope and massive promise and maybe even the odd bit of excitement ;)

If your demo is selected, it'll be available for download on psyreviews.com and "reviewed" or pushed to the masses. Labels will also be actively poked in its direction, and all the feedback we get from people who check it out will be collected and collated and made to look reasonably nice in psyreviews' dodgy, space-inefficient HTML.

If you're interested in sending anything over then please email info@psyreviews.com

CURRENTLY... we're going through material already submitted -- some of which is staggering in its punchiness and overlal quality -- for the July Demo Of The Month. Get em coming in, contact info@psyreviews.com and do it todaayayyy!!!
