"Imagine the future, already fading, there, between the
laminated covers of these forgotten annuals, these ephemeral
hagiographies. This is the lost moment of the futuristic:
1972. Discover fear and exhilaration in a platform shoe, a
clenched fist, silver foil; an empty beat, choreography of
un-release, of self-overcoming. These are years that DARED
MORE than our present-day bureaucrats of desire can
CONCEIVE."

Consider “Rock’n’roll (parts 1 and 2)”. A reviewer
in Let It Rock called Part 2 “a castration op where you
throw away the patient and keep the balls”: musically,
sexually, Glitter imagines an unyielding, uninflected,
un-soul, MASCULINE performance, without ambiguity. Glitter
and Leander were attempting a sound “near
rock’n’roll” but influenced by Afro-Rock. The single
was improvised, and was mainly determined by what was left
out, “layer upon layer of drums and guitar… we wanted to
make it purely a tune and rhythm with no embellishments like
harmonies or chords.” Leander claimed that it was not
black music, but in some sense, a rock’n’roll record.
The r’n’r is “deep down”, but it seems to me to be
mainly there by association, by lyrical suggestion. What
there IS is a minimal dance-track, unprecedented except
perhaps for James Brown’s spare disco breaks, and vocals
that are mixed well back, with a fast, slight echo that
makes them disembodied, all attack and no decay, all hard
edges and hardly inflected. When the Human League covered
it, it could have been a manifesto for
vocals-and-synths-only, and the cover could only succeed in
so far as it managed not to add anything."

yeah of course he made banging music but i know ur not
ignorant of the fact that he's a raging paedophile, and the
capitalization of the head post of this thread sort of
indicates this is meant to be god knows what percentage
ironic so ....

YAWN

I don't see anything wrong with liking him, in fact only the
other day I was playing my favourite Glitter mixtape to the
kids at the primary school I'm temping at. It ROCKS man
(Rock nnnnn Roll, Rock nnnn Rolll hehe ;) . The other sides
more funky, all my fave Jackson tunes.

Actually that reminds me, they were meant to phone me with
the new rota this week, ain't heard anything, better chase
it up, laters ;)

"Everyone's Gone to the Moon" is a personal fave, in that
vein.

He was awesome, though. I wish there was something similar to this
now, the closest we have I suppose is Andrew WK.
