Pagan Future

From 20JFG:

An ascending melody ripped from the unseen Rekall infomercial on transdimensional holidays to worlds made entirely of laser edged vectors.

A synth line like a long smooth shard of neon-flecked cyberpunk unease ripped straight from your favourite Reagan-era escapist dystopia.

The filtered hand-clap electro drumbeat that was to be so abused during its teenage years in the eighties it could do nothing but toughen up and emerge lean and vicious as techno.

All these things, like teardrops in the rain.

Anyway, Pagan Ritual are from New Orleans and make groovy 80's electro jams. Who would have thought this kind of thing would emerge from the bayou? Probably a combination of hurricanes and football victories. Buy the record here.
