PAMMIX029: NERVES KNIVES (SAKAMOTO TRIBUTE) NOZAKIDJ

Formed in 1987 while the members were attending university in Toyko, Fishmans have had a long, unpredictable trip through the music industry, and have technically never offically retired the band, despite the tragic passing of their vocalist Shinji Sato in 1999. 

Drummer Kin-Ichi Motegi keeps the spirit of Fishmans - and their legacy of seminal, inventive psychedelic rock and dream pop - alive.

"Quiet genius" might seem like a trite platitude to bestow a pop musician, but there are fewer more deserving of the title in the 20th Century than Prefab Sprout's now retired songwriter Paddy McAloon. 

The true centre of the band, McAloon's musical arrangements, which playfully interpret country, rock'n'roll, synth pop and more, are at once heartwrenching and inventive. His famously wry lyrics, which import the deep interiority and experimentalism of midcentury novelists to three-minute pop songs, defy easy comparison. 

Experience unalloyed pop joy, with two hours of Prefab Sprout.

Madteo does things his own way.

After growing up in Italy, the producer born Matteo Ruzzon moved to the States as a teenager – first to Texas, where he was kicked out for shoplifting on his 18th birthday, then to New York in ’94.

As he told FACT in a recent interview, although he’d spent ’90-’92 “pretty dazed and confused” in the Italian after-party scene, it’s New York where he developed most as a DJ and producer, eventually releasing his own music on labels like Morphine and Lanquid (though Discogs tells us he also contributed to this 1999 album as part of the Wave Workers Foundation).

Although his unique take on house, techno and hip-hop has now been picked up on labels like Joy Orbison’s Hingefinger, for us Madteo’s crowning achievement (well, beyond his cheekbones) is Noi No, his 2012 album for Finland’s Sähkö that mangled and inverted everything from morbid organ riffs to Drake. Writing in FACT, Steve Shaw claimed that “to take Noi No all in at once requires the listener to pay attention closely, and committing to this is quite exhausting – not in the least because it feels like an unsolvable puzzle each step of the way. However, for someone who has toiled away at his interests for years, never changing to please others, this should be taken as a compliment.”

Ahead of a show at London clubnight Way Back Here this Friday, Madteo’s FACT mix feels in some ways an extension of Noi No: tracks frequently sound filtered beyond recognition, or like they’ve been smothered under a pillow and re-recorded (and the tracklist below doesn’t give too much away). At two hours long, it’s like opening doors between a series of dreams, and there’s no climax here: you can enter or exit at any point.
