Phew…sorry about that. Posts should be a lot more regular from now on. Two heavy new Belgian cuts to get us started.
1. Lullabies In The Dark is the new project of deep disco honchos Jim Adam and Vito de Luca, who have just put our their first single on Permanent Vacation. On this remix, de Luca’s other band, Aeroplane, watch on as the Balearic-afterglow of the original gives way to a balmy, blanketing darkness. Inevitably, it pulses…cosmically. Key change at 3:20 is lift off.

2. Ghent’s Glimmer Twins have just released their new tour-only album The Glimmers are…Gee Gee Fazzi, in which they enlist the help of Ray Mang, Princess Superstar, Padded Cell, Freeform Five, Lindstrom and Prins Thomas to put together an hour’s worth of originals and covers. It’s a rather wry affair, as you might imagine. This cover of Australian pop tartlet Olivia Newton John’s Physical is the pick, though the knowing look of its creators is so obvious, my iTunes seems to stare back at me with one eyebrow raised whenever I put it on. That’s not to say I don’t like it, merely that thwacking me round the head a few times with a two-by-four marked “IRONY” in a big Acme font might have been more subtle.
