Undercover Lovers Schallplatten & CDs

Review: The fourth instalment of Psychemagik's ongoing Undercover Lovers series - basically a vehicle for their on-point re-edits of various obscure gems and cult classics - continues in a similar vein to its predecessors, delivering two more tried-and-tested reworks. On the A-side the dusty-fingered duo serves up a rearranged take on a much-loved Italo-disco cover of Bowie classic 'Heroes', adding layers of dubby effects while flitting between elements of the original vocal and instrumental versions (including some deliciously stripped-back and stretched out percussion sections). Over on the flip, they rework a lesser-known boogie-era synth-pop number, giving equal airing to whispered spoken word sections, synth-driven instrumental passages, and memorable choruses.
