XLR8R

Electro bad bwoy Rother brings the final word to the '80s electro/wave revival with the launch of his Datapunk label. No dorky twinkly metrosexual melody lines here, as the title track brings a growly ghetto tech bassline under Rother's chanting robo-vox. Flip for the tuff 'n' vulnerable "Back Home," sounding like early-'80s UK industrial á la Cabaret Voltaire. Masterful.
