vice versa eyes of christ

VICE VERSA: A chainsaw pop group, more related to Northern Soul than rock n' roll. Individually Mark White, Stephen Singleton, Martin Fry, collaborators making use of and bringing to your attention new techniques, synthesiser, tape montage and subliminal sound. Discarded natural sound source in favour of synthetic instrumentation because of its convenience, mobility and vast source of, as yet, untapped potential. We will provide the soundtrack for the second industrial revolution: 45 and 33 1/3 r.p.m. The use of prepared tapes and pre-sound in performance has meant we can begin to exploit kinetics fully and transmit electronic dance beat music.

VICE VERSA have no time for the popularised public image generated by the majority of people operating in the electronics field. we remain anti-cyberman, anti-digitalsterile, anti -docile mannequin, we want to usurp twee 'moderne' mannerisms. Two-tonic of teutonic we want to meet you. We adapt clarity and distortion, melody and dissonance, adrenalin, dance and momentum. we exploit the switch exemplified in our name and view change as stability, change as strength, ours is a doctrine of perpetual development, always forward, now as neo. we are seekinf yout-co-operation.

Joeboy in Rotterdam/San Francisco

I was first acquainted with this work about 20 years ago when some friend handed me a tape with what i thought then was a Tuxedomoon project Joeboy in Rotterdam/San Francisco.

That was the time when we were all trying to find something shockingly inspired and inspiring, a new definition of sound. Myself, being an academic world product, felt so tired with the insipidity of certain projects like The Whitehouse or the Satanic Sunction and generally such things that were incoherent and flashy just due to lack of form.

Joeboy was none of the above. In one sentence: A bursting piece of lyricism by Steven Brown embedded in a brilliantly constructed vacuum of tape guitar noise by Peter Principle.

Twenty five years have passed since this release and i haven't heard anything as original and moving as this piece, surviving itself over thousands of auditions well there's maybe another piece i can think of Alban Berg's Woyzzeck.

Two years ago i was teaching 20th century music, from Schoenberg to Xenakis, it somehow occured to me to refer to this lost tape, saying that i've listened to a piece of music done in the eighties which is actually to contemporary music what Schoenberg was to Irving Berlin.

In the age of technology, i did a search online and i finally found the one responsible for this album.

If some of you feel like examining whether the music you listen to, is neoteric, then get hold of Joeboy, to reconsider your thesis on modernism.

Best Wishes, Vangelino
