Revamped, re-energised, and punchier than ever, Mancbeth Remixed from Octavia Freud and The Bizarre Sisters revives that blistering, pumping 90s nightclub vibe, offering a gritty, fashionable tackle Shakespeare’s bloodiest play. That is the soundtrack to the intriguing, and exhilarating multi-media undertaking from David Lemberg’s Whittaker Lemberg Productions Ltd, involving an eclectic mixture of expertise from the Oxford indie music scene.
The opening monitor, Manc Chat (Volcanic Shores remix), completely units the scene, with a fictional Manchester DJ relating how he grew up with small time criminal Macbeth, and the Scarface type rise to energy dealing the medicine that fuelled the Nineties’ ecstasy craze. ‘Work That Physique’ (In-Flight Film remix) with its heavy, snappy drums echoes the opening titles of Miami Vice, recalling Summer season warmth, balmy evenings, and pastel colored t-shirts. ‘Honest Is Foul’ (Silent Weapon remix) lures us into the evening, with a scuzzy, foggy opening, and dreamy unnerving drive.
The unique CD launch of Mancbeth was a triumphant, psychedelic journey into the imagined various Manchester drug world, full with swirling atmospherics, and coronary heart pumping rhythms, with a particular New Order style. The remix album takes us extra into Pleasure Division territory, encompassing a David Cronenberg nightmare really feel, diving deeper into the demonic gutters and beneath-the-skin hallucinations of its Shakespeare influenced characters. The erotic, S&M infused ‘More durable, Sooner’ will get the blood pumping, and the nether areas tingling, because of synth/post-punk duo Means Of Manufacturing; dragging us deep into Clive Barker territory. Invincible (Flights Of Helios remix) provides a lighter contact with angelic voices soothing our brows, whereas ‘Huge Enjoyable, Little City’ is a jaunty, perky little tune, with a ghostly undertone, remixed by Moogieman.
Lengthy Dwell The King from Child Maker ramps up the tempo with our Manc DJ again offering a well-known laconic drawl, updating us on Macbeth’s ascent to the highest of the crummy, greasy pole.
‘Double Bother’ (Kamikaze Area Programme remix) is a full-on, gritty, digital cacophony paying homage to New Order’s extra experimental output. ‘Birnam Wooden’ (14M2 remix) plunges us as soon as once more into the mind-bending panorama of Macbeth’s drug supplying actions, with extra Cronenbergian thrives, full with the hypnotic slogan “It’s the brand new drug!”
This new album of remixes of Octavia Freud’s (actual title Martin Andrews) unique works is one other main step on the Mancbeth journey. There have already been stage displays in Oxford and at Manchester’s Band On The Wall, and subsequent up is the final word prize; Mancbeth the film. The foundations have been laid, the supplies gathered, and the sacred area created for a passionate, intoxicating and mesmerising odyssey. Be careful, world!
