RELEASE DATE

Betty Botox
is the re-edit project of
JD Twitch
of
Optimo
, and this is his first full-length release. Inspired by his sets with
JG Wilkes
at Glasgow's Sub Club,
Mmm, Betty!
compiles hard-to-find proto-"classics" of nu-disco, dub, Kraut, industrial, and electronic. This release starts off with
The Jellies
, and their track "Jive Baby On A Saturday Night," which is a slanted, bouncy bass-driven and handclap number that is virtually impossible to find anywhere else but here. Next is the
Love Of Life Orchestra
-- after
James Murphy
used the original version to begin his own mix CD, many people looked for this record, but the original 12" is mega-rare. This Betty Botox version is mixed with another song, "Don't Don't" from the same 12". A very funny but very interesting re-edit. There's a track by
The Residents
-- their music is always amusing and difficult to understand. However, after you listen to this re-edit, you will know why JD Twitch picked this song -- it's like an original song by
Optimo
!
Severed Heads
are early Australian progenitors of avant garde/industrial from the late '70s, and
Pankow
are pioneers of EBM/industrial in Italy. Their edited track "Girls And Boys" was taken from their first album produced by
Adrian Sherwood
.
Carlos Peron
was a member of '80s Swiss electronic/synth-pop band
Yello
, and "Et" was taken from a mega-rare limited 12",
Frigorex
. The UK's
Hawkwind
are one of the most popular and nameable space-rock bands in the world. Their music has been used on mix CDs by disco dub artists such as
Prins Thomas
, and the track presented and edited here is a whirling, cosmic, guitar and synth-driven maelstrom.
Flying Rhythms
is a very well-known jam band in Japan and their track is transformed into a no/disco shaker, driven by bongos.
Zed
is the project of
Bernard Szajner
, a progressive/industrial/electronic rock pioneer and inventor of the Laser Harp. His two albums
Visions Of Dune
and
Some Deaths Take Forever
have been described by
Carl Craig
as his all-time favorite electronic records. "Framen" is taken from
Visions Of Dune
and has been edited by
Naum Gabo
(
Jonnie Wilkes
of Optimo). Betty Botox is bound to leave you spaced-out, musically schooled and transformed.
