Buffalo : Are You Sure Hank Done it This Way


Buffalo were that rare beast, an English country and western band operating out of West Lincolnshire. I originally bought this album for the cover and those retina-burning outfits the guys are wearing. That combination of turquoise polyester flares and vests trimmed with pink satin, over yellow satin puff-sleeve shirts was too good to resist! However, any heterosexual man wearing such a get-up back in 1978 in un-cosmopolitan Lincolnshire would surely have been lynched. The back cover features the band members' heads done up in Native American war paint, clumsily superimposed on cave paintings of (you've guessed it) buffalos. One appears to be emerging from out of one of the beast's back passages. It just doesn't get any better than this!









datA : morphosis

DatA is a 21-year old Frenchman caught in the electro-house paradigm, but that doesn't mean that his production skills aren't on point. With tracks in playlists from Justice to Guns 'N' Bombs, this whiz-kid is causing a serious stir. "Morphosis" is the synth-solo answer to your banger prayers.
