Title: It’s Not That Deep EP
Artist: Tom Sharkett
Label: Optimo Music
Cat Number: OMDD51
Genre: Synthetic Disco Bliss
1: Mechanical Love (ft. Modema)
2: It’s 5am Somewhere
Well this is just what I needed. It’s 10am, the temperature’s rising nicely and I’ve got a ”relentlessly throbbing SH-101 bassline” to keep me company. For that is the dominant motif of ‘Mechanical Love (ft. Modema)’, (I misread “Modema” as “Moderna”, which is nice). This is the spacey stuff that we dream of in the disco of the mind. Breathy vocals filtered through an echo chamber of dark, bittersweet destination from Modema, and the rest just hanging together in a nicely wonky way, but underpinned by the unlimited simplicity of metronomic percussion, around which anything mind warping can by hung. ‘It’s 5am Somewhere’ wears its italo colours on its sleeve, and is more optimistically framed. Upbeat, some might say. It’s equally as brilliant as the flipside and if I don’t hear both of these in the castle at Covenanza then something’s gone wrong in the world. More please!
