>> Hexstatic
bio: Renowned duo Hexstatic have toured every dusty corner of planet earth presenting ever more demented assualts on the limits of good AV taste. They have done horror specials for Halloween, they have done comedy specials for, erm, the Big Chill. They have made groups of saucer eyed ravers don 3D specs and flinch from their mighty rhythms. They have done rather marvellous bootlegs that have pictures, too. They've done it all, basically. Everywhere.
So when they began work on their second album, they decided that there was no way on earth ("No way!" they cried) that the record wouldn't also be issued as a plush dvd of, well, crazy AV shit, brother. So they gathered themselves and a few firm friends and created "Master View"
And it delivers just the kind of thrills 'n' spills you'd hope for: vintage video game porn for the over thirties, cartoon ninjas killing dogs, sixties future psych, giant teddy bears, birds that sing along to the tune, bloco shenanigans, rapper Juice Aleem spitting out the Beatles, dancing gadget catalogues, pretty coloured circles, you name it. And then it does it all again in 3D! And that, my friend, is the shit.
And in addition, the music is every bit the equal of its pictured parts (as is evidenced by listening to it on the simultaneously-released cd instead). A loose mash up of classic electro, trademarked Ninja Tune funk, pilferings from the pair's global outreach programme, sneaky samples and enough good humour to leave you sweetly oblivious when your mom catches you dancing round the living room in just your pants and some 3D specs.
Oh. No. That was just me.
