about

When South London electronic cabal METAMONO play live, they employ a unique, Tardis-like console of cannibalized analogue synthesisers, ring modulators, rhythm boxes and a large, PYE valve radio set. On its dial, the capitals of Europe - London, Berlin, Paris…

…and Warsaw. This is where METAMONO have tuned into for their latest transmission from the electro-etheric beyond, for a cover of Warszawa, Bowie’s tragic requiem from 1977’s Low (a Manchester band used it as their name, of course, before relaunching as Joy Division). David has, of course, recently broken a decade’s recording silence; could even he have imagined a recreation like this? Within, the original’s sombre majesty is replaced by something more feverish and nervy, accelerating into a kind of Ballardian Proto-House that marries reason and nightmare, and forces us to reevaluate our shared sonic memories – did Warszawa, really, always sound like this?

The manifesto was agreed upon. ... more
