Following up ‘Midas Touch’ from last week, we now have ‘Trapped’ getting the Hell Interface treatment. This version is arguably a much more overt make over than that given to Midnight Star’s classic. BOC really give Abrahams’ classic the chopped and screwed treatment, recalling others working on a similar vibe frequency, such as Games. There’s something about eighties production trends that just seems to lend itself to a bottomless well of reinterpretation. Particularly when a dark spin is put on things. Unlike ‘Midas Touch’, maybe one big difference is because of the way the vocals have been run through sonic sludge, there is a hint of parody. I’m not on board with that myself; there’s nothing funny about the way this sounds. If anything, it emphasises the eponym.
