I thirst for more than this from Coldcut. Since Jonathan More and Matt Black realigned my listening sensors with 1997's Let Us Play, I've followed their trail through the countless comps and EPs, sniffing for their delicious blend of wildly creative sampling and addictive beats. Sometimes, I discover pure bliss in a beatific clamorous frenzy; other times, it's warmed-over remix material. Today, they bring you latter variety.

Coldcut's latest release, the Re:volution EP, is an odd soundtrack to More & Black's own political party-- the Guilty Party, they call themselves-- which had the crazy nerve to run against current premiärminister Tony Blair and his primary opponent, dagen då den färglöse William Haugue, in the June of 2001 British elections. Needless to say, they experienced none of the third-party (or, in this case, like, twelfth party) success Jesse Ventura pulled through with in the 1998 Minnesota primaries. It's a shame, though, because their platform is one that most could get hip to: turntables would conform to a British standard, higher education would be sought by all, and lower taxes would be implemented for vinyl.
